How to Find a Salt Lake City Bail Bondsman

Nearly everyone has seen a jail at some point or another, whether it’s driving by one on your way to work, seeing one depicted on your favorite TV show, or visiting someone in one. People who find themselves in that gray and depressing building have only one thought, “get me out of here.” In our modern criminal justice system the way to get out of jail before your trial date is to post bail. In order to do this, you will most likely need a bail bondsman. If someone you loved and cared about was arrested, how would you find a quality Salt Lake City bail bondsman?

1. Do your research.

Extensive research is a vital part of any serious financial endeavor. Some might not classify posting bail for someone as a major financial decision, but if you are the one who signs the paperwork, you are effectively responsible for the person who was arrested. If they do not show up to court on their court date, you will be held financially accountable. Because it is such a serious decision, looking into several bond agencies is a wise step. Look for agencies that have great customer reviews, experience, and are reliable. These are traits that are very useful in the situation.

2. Contact several bond agents.

When you have narrowed down your search to three to five bond agencies, give them a call and talk to some of their representatives. It is smart to briefly discuss your situation on the phone and learn about the bond agency’s policies. You need to pick an agency that you are willing to work with, and a simple phone call can tell you a lot about a company. If you have any special circumstances, this is a great time to discuss them as well. Making contact will help you narrow down your list further to just one bond agency.

3. Discuss the logistics.

After your research and phone calls, you should be able to select an agency that best fits your needs and that you feel comfortable working with. Once you have made this decision, you will need to meet with a bond agent. This meeting is very important, and many serious aspects of bailing someone out of jail will be discussed. In this meeting, the bond agent will lay out the financial portion of bailing someone out of jail. They might talk about collateral, the interest rates they charge, etc. Make sure to pay attention to all of the details in this meeting as they will provide you with valuable information about the process. This will also be a great time to see if the agency you have picked has any special pricing options, like zero down, for those who are financially unable to pay the premium.

4. Sign the paperwork.

If you feel comfortable with the bond agent after discussing the particulars of your bail agreement, the agent will draw up paperwork, which you will need to sign. After the paperwork is signed, the bond agent will give the money to the proper authorities and, if approved, the person will be released on bail.

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.

Bad boys are incredible, I have a cousin that tends to get himself in to trouble far too often and Larry has been great about always helping us out even though the trouble seems to be a repeat performance. He's very accommodating and kind to the entire family in the situation. Thanks, bad boys! :)
