Sorry, not my real last name but my review is. I talked with the owner Mike and I cannot say enough good words about him so "awesome" will have to do. And the Bail Agent Mike was also. Both gentlemen were very quick, knowledgeable, friendly, professional, and extremely helpful. They both made my dealing with this situation so much easier. I highly recommend Bad Boys Bail Bonds if you find yourself, family or friends in need if bail.

I highly recommend Bad Boys Bail Bonds. This is the first time my family and I have ever had to use such a service, and we’re glad that our first time experience was a pleasant one! They work quickly and effectively! I worked with my Mike and he did a great job simplifying the process and making sure I was aware of my situation and the things I needed to take care of.He also clarified what to do if certain scenarios were to come to fruition, and that we can just call them! I hope I never have to use such a service again, but if it does, I will definitely contact them.Words of a Free Man.

This company has been nothing but kind and professional with me. I spent over an hour talking with the owner after getting me out of jail ASAP. I can tell you it is more than the bail money they want but a very very very strong desire to help people that drives this company. I strongly recommend them if you find yourself in the unfortunate situation of needing a bond. If I could give them more than 5 stars I would gladly give 100’s. You can not go wrong with them!!!! I don’t rate companies online but after the service provided to me they whole hearted deserved my comments. AAA+ company!!!!

I can’t thank Larry and Kendall enough for all they did. Very fast and professional. Larry talked me into waiting two days for my son to go to court and the bail was reduced significantly, saving me a lot of money. He could have taken my money initially as I was ready to pay, but after talking me through the process he helped me to see it wasn’t just about money to him, it was about helping others. Kendall came to my house, I don’t drive at night, he was fast professional and very knowledgeable. I would highly recommend Bad Boys if you want to be treated fairly and know the process.

Frequently Asked Questions About Bail Bonds
The State of Utah requires a bail company to charge a non-refundable fee ranging from a minimum of 10% and a maximum of 20%. Even if the defendant is falsely arrested, they can stay in jail until proving innocence or pay the non-refundable fee by law.
Bail is a legal agreement between a defendant and a bail bond company to be released from jail for a fee with the promise to appear for their future court date. If bail is not paid, a defendant sits in jail until their day in court. A bail bond agent arranges to have the defendant released from jail in exchange for a monetary fee. A bond hearing will determine what the bail amount will be.
It means that the defendant failed to appear to court and the Judge has ordered the bond forfeited, also referred to as estreated. The bail bond company then has 180 days to locate the defendant and get him back into court, into jail, or the Judge will order a Judgment against the Utah bail company to replace the bond with the full amount that was posted.
A bail Recovery agent can revoke your bond for only a handful of reasons, and they should all be listed on a form given by agent called a Utah Disclosure which is required by all.
In Salt Lake ADC and the Purgatory jail in St George it usually takes around 2 hours for you to be booked (sometimes a little shorter or longer depending on the how busy). Once the bond is posted the jail says it takes 2-8 hours for their release but the average time is 4 hours. (This is also is determined by how busy they are)
All the other jails in Utah it usually take 45 minutes to an hour to be booked and about the same to be released after the bail is posted. (The paperwork process once they meet us is usually 20 minutes from start until we post the bond then it is up to the jail for the rest of the time)
Jail is one of the last places we ever want to see our loved ones. The uncertainty surrounding the whole jail experience affects not only the inmate, but it is often very stressful for their friends and family. If you find yourself in this situation, Bad Boys Bail Bonds Utah wants to provide you with the information you need so that the bail bond process goes as quickly as possible, and you can be reunited with your loved one.
Before starting the process of bailing a loved one out of a Utah jail, the individual must first be officially booked. Booking occurs after the arrest, and is simply an administrative process during which the authorities record information on the person and crime, take fingerprints and mugshots, search the defendant, and remove property.
After the booking process is complete, the individual is placed in a cell or, if they’ve been arrested for a minor offense, they may be given a written citation and released on their recognizance. The release can only occur after signing the citation and promising to appear in court at a later date.

If you have been arrested and charged with a serious crime, you will probably not be released from jail without providing some financial security (bail) to assure the judge that you will appear in court on all the dates required throughout the legal process. You can pay your bail in cash to the court and be released from jail awaiting your trial. But, if the bail is a high amount and you don’t have that much money to hand over to the court, you can get a bail bond. Your bail bond is just a commitment to the court from an insured bail bond provider that your entire bail amount will be paid to the court if you fail to appear when required.

- And lastly the judge can decide to let the defendant go on their own recognizance which means the defendant agrees in writing to arrive for their court date.

In the state of Utah, bail bondsman are required to charge a nonrefundable minimum of 10% and a maximum of 20%. This fee is what allowed the defendant to get out of jail and is fully earned once the defendant is out of custody.

- Valuable Jewelry
- Credit Cards
- Cars in good condition
- Bank accounts
If the defendant plans to leave the country, they must get permission from the bonding office in writing beforehand. If the court has given the defendant direct instruction not to leave the country, then they must additionally get written consent from the courts. Otherwise, the defendant risks arrest.
The requirements to bail someone out of jail in Utah are not strict. Any person 18 years or older may bail someone out of a Utah jail if they have 10% of the total bail amount, and they must be present in order to cosign the necessary paperwork to release the defendant into your custody. A lawyer is not necessary to bail someone out. Finally, note you are now liable and need to make sure that the defendant makes it to future court proceedings.

We make your release process as fast as possible.
If the bail is set at a high amount, you could be forced to stay in jail for days, weeks, or months, (or, in extreme cases, even more than a year or two).

Being in jail longer than required means giving away more of your life than necessary.
We will do all your paperwork for you.
What does a bail bondsman do? Many people are surprised to find out that there is so much complex documentation required for filing a bail bond with the court.
