1. How Early Should You Call a Bail Bondsman
Nobody plans to go to jail, whether that person is a career criminal or simply a
person who made a legitimate mistake. If you find yourself on the wrong side of a
set of handcuffs, it’s important to know exactly what your options are and how they
should be utilized. Knowing when to contact a bail bondsman is essential in
ensuring that you or a loved one spends the least amount of time in jail as possible.
So, that’s what we’re here to talk about. When exactly should you contact a bail
bondsman? How early is too early?
The simple answer is that it’s never too early, unless maybe you haven’t been
arrested yet but you’re planning to be. (We know from the previous paragraph,
though, that nobody plans it.) If you’re with a loved one when they get arrested, you
can choose to contact a bail bondsman immediately. They can start drawing up the
paperwork and getting everything in order so that they can get them out as soon as
a bail amount is set. If no bail amount is set, the charges are dropped, or they receive
an O.R. (Own Recognizance), then you need not go any farther.
If you’re the person that got arrested, your choices of when to call a bail bondsman
are going to be severely limited. Obviously, you can’t call from the back of a Police
Car (Even if you could, it sure would be hard with your hands cuffed behind your
back). That being said, the moment a phone is available to you should be the
moment that you contact a bail bondsman (after your wife/husband or family
members, they can help you find a bail bondsman). Again, the sooner you contact
the bail bondsman, the sooner they can start working on getting you out.
Finding a bail bondsman is quick and easy. However, finding a fast and reliable bail
bondsman can be a more difficult undertaking. Be sure to do your homework and

2. fight the right bail bondsman for you. Make sure they’re affordable and can get you
or your loved one home fast. If you’re getting a loved one out of jail, use the Internet,
it can be an easy, fast, and reliable tool to help you find the help you need. Read
reviews about them to make sure that they are a good company to work with (being
as this is the Internet, take these reviews with a grain of salt).
The bail bond process has several steps, from the paperwork to the payment to
actually getting the person out of jail. If you or a loved one is arrested, you should
get this process started as quickly as possible by contacting a bail bondsman. They
can start getting the process rolling before booking is complete and have them out
of jail in a decent amount of time. Jail is not a fun place and nobody should have to
spend more time there than absolutely necessary, so contact a bail bondsman as
soon as possible so you or your loved one can be home with family as soon as
possible.
