Bail bonds don’t exist because the bail bond companies and the government want your money. Bail bonds exist because you have the right to be protected and, despite any crime you did or did not commit, the government wants to help you protect your rights. It might be a little convoluted that the government is […]
Labor Day Weekend is the last big weekend of Summer (officially) and friends and families love getting together for barbecues and short vacations. When someone very integral to the group and group dynamic is missing, then it just “won’t be the same,” as the saying goes. And if that someone happens to miss the occasion […]
You’re out celebrating your birthday like you always do – food and drinks with the best company. And it being your birthday and all, you probably are drinking more than your friends are. That’s fine and all, but don’t you dare drive yourself home. What if you get pulled over? What if you get into […]

If you plan on drinking over Labor Day Weekend, as always, drink responsibly. And make other decisions (such as driving) responsibly.

What happens […]

Some people can pay their whole bail to the court; other people use a bail bond, which costs them 10% of the whole bail amount. This doesn’t mean that the rich are the ones paying for their own bail, and this doesn’t mean that the poor are using bail bonds. It all comes down to […]
You don’t need to ask Mom or Dad for money to bail out of jail. You’re financially independent and you’re too proud to ask them for money. (You’d actually rather keep spending on them if you can because they’ve done so much for you growing up.) Plus, you don’t want to burden them and drag […]
You’ve been anxious and excited for your upcoming travel plans ever since the beginning of the year when you locked it in. But just the other week, your travel buddy was arrested and then released on bail. Is this going to ruin your trip? Can your travel pal still go with you? The answer to […]
When you’re traveling to a foreign country, it’s imperative to study up on that country’s local laws, culture, and language. Many people do not realize how easy it might be to get into legal trouble.

We all know that TV shows and movies rarely show “the full truth, and nothing but the truth” when it comes to portraying real life, daily situations. Some details are left out, some are exaggerated. This is to glorify a situation to make it juicier and more entertaining, as well as allow the entire episode […]
Only a judge can set, raise, and lower bail amounts. No bail agent, lawyer, jury, or other party can change the bail amount. The judge can consider a petition, but he or she may not grant a change. Posting bail bonds can be paid off through a variety of methods, from cash to checks to […]
By now, you know that texting and driving is a no-no in California. That’s how we generally understand this law – texting and driving. But this law actually extends beyond text messaging.

You’d think that companies who have been in business for a very long time will know how best to treat their clients and meet their expectations and goals, huh?
