If you or someone you know has been arrested in the US, you need to get help. Should you call a bail bondsman, or a lawyer first? If you have an attorney who has worked for you, you may want to give him or her a call, but he or she will probably tell you, to call a bondsman first, and you should.
A bondsman:
- Is available 24/7 and ready to talk with you.
- Has experience with the local court system.
- Has the expertise to get you released, fast!
Keeping the Prosecution Away
From the time you are arrested, a prosecutor will be trying to get you to take a plea deal, and will offer you a release until trial for that plea. Why? It’s a quick and easy win, limiting court time. Don’t take it. You should receive a bail hearing quickly. Once your bail is set, a bondsman can work swiftly to get you out.
The prosecution then loses the leverage of offering to get you out of jail. A professional bondsman can do that is no time, and you can then get to work with your attorney preparing for trial.
A Bondsman Offers Quick Release
When you contract with a bondsman, he can get you out fast. Since most are available 24 hours a day and seven days a week, bail bondsmen won’t let the grass grow under their feet, or yours. A local bondsman has experience in the local court system and can move fast, day or night.
A Quick Release Avoids a Worse Situation
We’ve all seen holding cells and jails depicted on TV. In real life, some are better, some worse. What you don’t want is to get transferred away from the local precinct and into the county jail. Most are crowded, with a variety of individuals whom you likely do not want to get to know. A bondsman can bail you out before you have to confront that situation.
A Bondsman is Key to Freedom
Whether you are innocent or guilty, if you have received a set bail amount and contracted with a bondsman, you will be released. That is the bondsman’s job, not a lawyer’s. The attorney’s job is to aid in your defense when your case comes to trial.
