Tips for Selecting a Bail Bondsman in Pinellas County

Needing the help of a bail bondsman is never ideal, it means you or someone you know has been arrested. However, if you require one, feel fortunate that you have access to one you can trust - Integrity Bail Bonds.

The first step in the process of finding bail bondsmen in your area is to search online. Depending on your location, you could have many options, or only a few. Bail Bond companies are not all the same. Some may not have a great reputation, so you will want to do some research before you make a decision. Be sure to read the rating and reviews left by previous clients. At Integrity Bail Bonds, we take pride in having hundreds of 5-star reviews online. Take the time to read each review, or at least a number of them with different ratings. The average score can be skewed by 1 or 2 clients and may not accurately reflect the kind of service offered. Comments left by clients are the best way to determine if they participate in shady practices or have some other flaw in their means of doing business.

Once you have compared your options, you want to pick the best three options available. Then, contact each one to request the rate they will charge you and what they accept as collateral for the bond. While most companies offer similar prices, there is always the chance that some charge something different from the others.

Also ask them to provide you with verification that they are licensed to operate in your state. Almost every state requires bail bondsman to be licensed to ensure fair business practices. A quick check with your local Better Business Bureau is also a good idea. It’s an easy way to verify that the business has not had many complaints, and if they do, they have been resolved.

Once you have compared rates and integrity, visit the bail bondsmen directly. There you will fill out paperwork and verify that the individual is eligible for release and how much it will take. When filling out paperwork, take the time and read all the fine print. The person you will be working with may try to expedite the process and convince you that you are just filling out standard forms. It is critical that you take the time necessary to read and understand all the paperwork in order to protect your interests. At Integrity Bail Bonds, we review everything with you carefully, to ensure you know what’s happening every step of the way.

Choosing a bail bondsmen can be stressful considering the situation, so it is vital that you keep a level head during the process. Take the time to ensure you know what the next steps are. Taking your time and being diligent will go a long way to ensure you have the best possible outcome.
