What Not to do When You Are Getting a Bail Bond

When you apply for a bail bond, you want to make sure that all the information you have is 100% correct and accurate. You want to have all of this information ready.

• Do not provide incorrect contact information for yourself.

Bail Bonds over Cash Bail – Here Is Why

mountain-view-bailbonds3

Bail bonds are an alternative method to posting cash bail. Cash bail can be in the tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars. The full amount must be paid in order for the defendant to be released.

Bail bonds, on the other hand, offer more flexibility and breathing room.

• A professional bail agent facilitates the entire process.
• Only 10% of the full bail amount will be paid.
• This 10% is paid off on a customized payment plan.
• Only paperwork needs to be completed for the defendant to be freed; the payment plan extends beyond the defendant’s release date.

The main catch is that with cash bail, this money can be refunded, but the 10% for a bail bond is not refundable. Nonetheless, most people post bail using bail bonds because there is more guidance and assistance...

Whoever said that bail bonds are sketchy and for the lower class was wrong. Bail bonds are just as legitimate and equal as cash bail. Of course, there are different contingencies and requirements for both, but they both get the job done. In fact, even rich people and celebrities use bail bonds rather than cash bail.

Truth be told, bail bonds are the more common method to posting bail. Reasons more people choose bail bonds can be that they like the idea of having a professional bail agent assisting them through the entire process. They want the payment plan that bail bonds come with. They would rather pay 10% of the bail, rather than 100% it...

Rainy Weather Driving Precautions

mission-district-bailbonds1

Rainy days are still ahead California, whether you are in Northern California where rainfall is more abundant, or you are in Southern California where it happens less often. Driving habits need to be changed when it is raining versus when it is a dry day to ensure road safety. Here are some helpful rainy weather driving tips that will help protect you and others from harm’s way.

• The road is most slippery on the first day of rain.
• Drive slower and leave more space than usual between your car and the car ahead.
• Brake earlier than normal so the car behind you has extra time to brake as well.
• Make sure all car lights are working: headlights, taillights, signal lights, brake lights, and high beams.
• Make sure your horn is working.
• Check your tire treads; if they need changing, cha...

Benefits and Risks of Bail Bond Co-Signers

millbrae-bailbonds1

Dealing with an arrest is an incredibly stressful and tense time, not just for the individual, but for their loved ones as well. There will be some bickering, but there should be mostly figuring out how to get through this situation together. Multiple parties will be involved in some way or another: the defendant, a bail bond company like Millbrae Bail Bond Store, employers who may need to know, friends, family, a lawyer, and a co-signer.

This all sounds pretty straight-forward, but not to the co-signer. What is a co-signer, and what do they do?

A co-signer is needed for the bail bond. The co-signer assumes responsibility of the defendant to see that they show up for their court appointments...

No Resolution Is Too Late to Start

linda-mar-bailbonds1

It is not January 1 anymore, but you can still come up with some 2017 resolutions. It is never too late to set goals and commit to them. Whether it is something you try every year, like eating better and working out more, or something that is quite the challenge, like breaking bad habits and putting yourself in uncomfortable yet good-for-you situations.

Touching more on the latter example, say you are one to drink and drive. You have never been caught and you have never blown it, but frankly, you cannot keep doing this. So this is the year you kick that bad habit of feeling invincible when you really are not. In addition to not drinking and driving, consider forcing yourself to drink less...

Handling Arrests with Grace

financial-district-bailbonds2

No matter who you are, know this: you are a role model for someone out there, whether it is your child, friend, sibling, parent, or even a stranger. Someone is looking up to you. You do not have to be the older person to be the role model, you can be a role model to someone who is older than you.

Through good times and bad, carry yourself with pride and grace. Through those bad times, handle the situation as maturely and responsibly as possible. That means, in a worst case scenario, posting bail after your arrest, staying out of anymore trouble, and showing up for court when scheduled. If you can do this, then you are showing others like you that getting through this extremely difficult time and getting life back on track is possible.

Posting bail is best done with a bail bond from Finan...
