Choosing a Bondsman
It really doesn't make much of a difference which bail bondsman you choose. They all pretty much do the same thing after you have paid them.
There are 3 things that I would care about though:
1. How fast they can get you out of jail.
Most can get you out pretty fast, but its always worth asking, just to make sure.
2. What percent of the total bail you will pay.
The amount you pay is based on a percentage of the bail amount. The standard is 10% of the whole bail. Most people don't know that this is something you can negotiate on. Some bondsmen will go as low as 8% if you ask, which can save you a lot of money.
3. What kind of collateral you need.
Most bail bond guys will require collateral. Collateral is usually a car or a house to guarantee the bondsman doesn't loose his money. Some bondsman won't require this depending on the amount of the bail, and how financially stable you or the signer on the bond are.
