Questions to Ask A Bond Company

While it may not be something you would ever think you need to do, there may be a time where you may need to reach out to a bail bond company to help you or a loved one. Much like an attorney, there are several different bond companies, and it can be very important to choose the right company for your specific needs! Here are some questions that you can ask to help you understand which bond company will be best for you:

Active Arrest Warrant

An arrest warrant is issued by a judge which authorizes the arrest and detention of an individual or the search and seizure of an individual’s property. Arrest warrants serve the purpose of protecting people from unlawful arrests under the Fourth Amendment. It gives notice to the person being arrested about the charges pressed against them. 

Why the Right To Remain Silent Is Best

When you are arrested, the best thing that you can do for yourself is to keep quiet until you are represented by an attorney. It is important to remember that if you are arrested, you have the right to remain silent and the right to an attorney but these rights only protect you if you choose to use them.

Your Rights After Being Arrested

When you’ve been arrested it can be confusing and hard to understand. It is important to know your rights so that you can avoid any further complications. Police officers are required to read a person their Miranda Rights. I’m sure you’ve heard them read on TV before “Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law. You have the right to an Attorney. If you cannot afford an Attorney, one will be provided for you”. You do have the right to waive these rights but it’s best to first understand what they are and their importance.

Fail to Appear to Court

When a defendant chooses to pay bail in order to remain out of jail and fails to appear at the scheduled court date, there are consequences that can affect not only them but also any friends or family who have helped in securing the amount of bail.

Tips to Speed Up the Bail Process
