Why Hire a Bail Bondsman?
Save Money. Save Time. Use a Licensed Pinellas County Bail Bondsman
A licensed Pinellas County bail bondsman helps you save money and time
Need a bail bond in Pinellas County? If someone you love has been arrested in Clearwater, St. Petersburg or surrounding areas, hiring a bail bondsman is the fastest, least expensive way to get your loved one out of jail.
Without a bondsman, you have to pay the full amount of the cash bond. When you hire a bail bondsman, also called a surety agent, you only pay 10% of the total bond amount or the full penal sum of the bail bond. This enables you to apply the other 90% to legal fees for a criminal defense attorney or whatever your needs may be. Also, if you take the other 90% of the bond and place it into some other savings vehicle of your choice, you are protecting yourself from liability in this matter.
