As much as you hate taxes and tax season, perhaps this time of year you might like it because you’ll be receiving a nice tax refund check. With this money, you plan to use it wisely and pay off some payments that absolutely cannot be missed: your bail bond payment. Not having a pool of […]

Asking for help might be intimidating and embarrassing, especially for young adults. Young adults want to prove they can handle everything they get involved in. They want to show their independence. But nobody should have to handle a very big problem – like, legal problems – by themselves. Closest friends and family are some of […]

Moms will be moms and that means they are always going to worry about you, wherever you are, whatever you’re doing. It’s that natural motherly instinct. It’s part of your job to reassure her you are fine, that she raised a good son or daughter. In order to do this, you need to show responsibility. […]

When a person is released from jail on a bail bond, they are also making a promise to go to all the court dates they are required to go to. Going to court is a condition of their release. If there is a conflict, it is best to get the other event moved, not the […]

The purpose of a bail bond is to ensure a person’s release from jail, pre-trial, but also to ensure their appearance in court before the judge.

There are different types of court, but here we focus on the Federal and State court systems. Most crimes are heard in state court.

Human error is not a stranger in the justice system, unfortunately. But that is not just one person’s fault, right. Many people are involved and situations get very complex and complicated.

Getting arrested and bailing out of jail is going to be embarrassing – both for the person who was arrested, as well as their absolute closest friends and family members.

A search warrant is a document authorizing the police to search through a person’s property and belongings.

When filing taxes, you’re asked whether you want to apply excess taxes from the previous year towards this year, or if you would prefer to receive a tax return check. The benefit of the former choice is not needing to pay as much if and when you owe money. But the benefit of the latter […]

When you start doing your taxes, you will be asked that in the case you paid excess taxes in the previous year, would you like the balance to be refunded to you or applied to this coming year’s taxes. The pros to either might be obvious: If you choose to be refunded, you will get […]

When someone is arrested, they have an arraignment hearing where the judge will determine if he or she is eligible for bail. Then, sometime down the road, that person stands trial for the crime they were arrested for. If they are found guilty, if they are convicted, they are sent to prison to serve their […]

Have you read, word for word, the terms and conditions of something or anything? Have you read the fine print? If you are like 99% of the world, the answer is probably something along the lines of “never.” We are all quick to assume that the fine print is the standard information but sometimes there […]

What you watch on television shows are never the full truth and full story. There just isn’t enough time to watch every detail of how bail bonds work because showing that is not as exciting to the viewer as the high speed police chase part of the show. So, to help you understand how bail […]
