Some people may think that bail bonds are only for those who cannot afford to pay for bail on their own. They cannot quickly come up with x amount of money to get their loved one out of jail, even if that money is fully refundable at the end of the trial. So, they apply […]

Imagine you have been arrested for a crime. Your trial doesn’t begin for 2 weeks. During these two weeks, the police and investigators look for evidence and try to figure out what happened. The prosecution will build their case against you to prove you are guilty. Your defense will work to try and prove your […]

Having extra money on hand is one of the most relieving things for us. By having some extra financial wiggle room, we can worry less about making certain ends meet. We can buy another bag of groceries. We can pay bills on time. We can treat ourselves to a new outfit and our family to […]

When you are planning to travel to another state or even another country, you’re prepared for the weather, you’ve mapped out the attractions you’re visiting, you have a language dictionary in case you’re in a foreign country and you’re mentally prepared to have the time of your life. But, you really can’t have the time […]

Unless a judge explicitly bans a defendant from traveling while they are out on bail, the defendant can technically take a trip if he or she wishes to. But, this does not get them off the hook of having to show up for their court dates. The defendant must still make all court appearances, so […]

Agreeing to help pay for a loved one’s bail bond payments is a huge responsibility, whether you’re paying only a portion or the whole thing. Not only do you have their freedom on the line, you also have your own life to look after, financially. Can you afford a bail bond? Do you have a […]

A $50,000 bail is nearly impossible for you to pay to secure your loved one’s bail because by the time you’re able to get your hands on $50,000, the trial might already be over. Paying bail directly to court to secure release means you have to pay the entire bail upfront before they can be […]

Now is the time to be fully aware of the new hoverboard laws in California, especially if you currently own one or plan on purchasing one in the near future. These laws are meant not just for rider safety, but also for the safety of others near you because as you’ve probably heard, a number […]

You’re well aware that an arrest can be difficult for family members to bear with, but have you considered how your situation and absence can affect your young children? Young children do not have the developed minds to understand the scope and seriousness of the situation. Instead of understanding that this was a serious mistake […]

An arrest within a family can very easily tear family members in opposite directions, there is no doubt about that. Some will immediately do what they can to help and support the arrested family member, like paying for bail and getting a lawyer. Others may not want to get involved because it’s time consuming, emotionally […]

We know that using your tax refund towards a bail bond payment is not how you initially envisioned using this money, but do know that it is a very good idea to consider. Instead of buying yourself new clothes and music, you can get ahead on bail bond payments. Using your tax return for bail […]
