Is the "Bond Fee" or "Premium" Paid to the Bail Agent refundable?

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.

What does it mean when a bond is forfeited or estreated?

If a bond is forfeited or estreated, it means that the defendant had failed to appear to court and the Judge has ordered the bond forfeited. Means that the bail 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 Bail Company to replace the bond with the full amount that was posted.

Can a bail agent arrest me and put me back in jail for any reason?

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.

After 2 other bail bondsman said they couldn't help get my husband out of jail (since he was out of state) Larry really came through and got it done! He went to bat for us in a tricky situation, and got my husband out. Very grateful!

To the Bad Boys Bail Bondsman of Salt Lake City!! 87 days ago we spent as a family effortless hours trying to locate our brother!! BECAUSE he is clinical it made the ordeal looking for him that much harder. By the grace of God and social media we located him here and Utah and after driving 11 hours from chaotic California to Utah and having the experience of such a serene peaceful Majestic atmosphere we don't question why he ended up here anymore we're just thankful to God he did!Knocking on so many doors that did not open and spending countless hours making phone calls that went unreturned left us IN despair!!But the Creator lead us to Google and when we typed in bail bondsman Bad Boys was the first bail bondsman at the top of the list!! Thank you so very much to the owner Larry and his incredible compassionate employee Mike if it were not for these two men spending countless hours on the phone allowing us to share our story, our experience, our hopes and prayers we would have not been able to execute a bail bond and release for our brother and father.Words cannot express our gratitude but we are so thankful for the day that you picked up the phone, and allowed us to vent took into consideration the story and evidence and in the most humanitarian way treated our brother as if he were YOUR OWN👍😁.TO ANYONE WHO FINDS HIM OR HERSELF IN A SITUATION OF NEED LIKE WE DID!! DON'T HESITATE TO CALL THIS COMPANY AND ASK FOR LARRY. He's a great listener, he's a great educator of the law and human rights his employees work diligently and effortlessly to make sure that they treat each and every situation in their own way with critical care.To BAD BOYS BAIL BOND WE'RE FOR EVER GRATEFUL AND YOU WILL ALWAYS HAVE FAMILY IN CALIFORNIA AS WE KNOW WE HAVE FAMILY IN HERE IN UTAH.LOVE 4EVER,CHANDLER FAMILY

Larry the owner is fantastic and you can tell he really cares. He does his best to keep you well informed about the possibilities and what he, as a professional, sees as the best option. He will even discourage bailing someone out when it’s in their best interest. Very knowledgeable and courteous. You can tell he’s been doing this for years and he does his best to work with everyone’s individual circumstances. In times of stress, he’s honestly your best bet. Everyone else is lazy and just looking to make a quick buck. Larry offered me help and answers even though I didn’t end up using his services and still insists that I call him if I have more questions. We were able to talk through all the possibilities and he’s kept me well informed since I called him at 3 this morning! Amazing person. Am waiting and hoping that bail will be reduced and when that happens we’ll definitely use Larry’s services. Appreciate your great work and customer service, especially in such stressful times.

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.

I could never say enough great things about Larry and his services. He REALLY CARES about his clients. I was embarrassed and ashamed, but he listened to me and gave me much needed support and encouragement. He keeps in contact and is very prompt to return calls. He is also very knowledgeable and explained the process in detail and answered my questions clearly. He cares more about his clients than about how much money he will make from assisting you. If you ever need a bail bond, do not even think of calling anyone else!

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.

You never think you will need a bail bondsman, until you do. Bad boys is honest, understanding, and absolutely will do everything in their power to get someone out of jail (up to and including calling a judge if a bail amout is unfair). I trust this company whole heartedly to operated with the highest integrity within what a bail company can do. ~☆~Ambrosia
