What you don’t know can hurt you.
Did you know that if your case continues longer than a year you could be required to pay your bondsman a renewal premium, each and every year?! Families are often shocked when they need to pay thousands of dollars to get someone out of jail the first time around. They never imagine they’ll need to pull all that money together a second time - especially if the defendant has routinely gone to court.
Language regarding renewal premiums is included in most bail bond contracts but it’s up to company owners to decide whether they want to collect it. Many companies see this as a quick and easy way to make a few extra bucks.
We see this as unethical and predatory. Bail bonds don’t expire and bail agencies do not need to charge you again, but unfortunately most do.
We always tell our clients it’s important to research the company you’re going to do business with-especially when it comes to bail bonds. We’ve heard countless horror stories about bondsman who have thrown defendants back in jail or have threatened to foreclose on the family home if the renewal premium is not paid. Don’t let this happen to you.
