BAIL, BOND AND BONDAGENTS IN FLORIDA

SHOULD I POST BAIL FIRST? CALL A LAWYER? CALL A BONSMAN?

Call a lawyer first, why?

First: a local lawyer knows the local bondagents, your lawyer can get a good bond and control the bondsman: use the lawyer as a problem solver.

Second: the lawyer may be able to get a quick bond hearing and reduce the bond amount.

When a good local lawyer and a good local bondsman are in front of a local judge you benefit all around. The judge is confident you are well repersented and may be inclined to lower the bond.

If you or a family member or friend has been arrested in South Florida, Miami, Fort Lauderale or West Palm Beach contact a south Florida criminal defense attorney. Ask about bond. Ask about the judge. Ask about how an arrest and a trial work.

Information is the cure for agitation and aggravation. Let a local professional guide you through the criminal process. Call Attorney Ralph Behr at 1-800-761-3446.
