subject: Tips When Hiring Bail Bonds [print this page] Are you new to the bail bond world? Unless you have been in legal trouble in the past, you probably are. Here are just a few tips to keep in mind if you find yourself in need of bail bonds service.1.Bail bond fees are set by each state. In Nevada, the fees assessed by bail bondsmen operating in that state are set at 15% of the bond amount or $50, whichever is higher. In terms of paying the bail bondsman, there are considerations beyond the actual bondman fee. Depending on the bail bonds will depend on what type of collateral they accept and how willing they are to work with you.2.There may be a street lined of bail bonds but that doesn't mean they are all created equal. In fact, the very fact that so many are all lined together means that they all are different in many different ways. Make sure you shop around and hire someone you are comfortable with. If you are not comfortable with the one you have spoken with so far, go next door.3.Licensing. You will want to make sure the bail bonds you are dealing with has the proper licensing. Since they are in the legal and money system it is important that each company you interview has the proper state and federal licensing.

They are there to help you and if you are not honest with them they will find out and not be able to help you further. When you are in trouble, especially legal trouble, honestly is always the best policy.5.Don't worry. Having a friend or family or even if you yourself are arrested, can be scary, but don't worry. Working with a legitimate bail bond service can help you navigate through the maze of the legal system. Hire the right company and they can help make sure that you are well taken care of and will make it through the legal system without any future damage.6.Don't leave town.
