For many people, a bail bond agency does much more than pay the bail to get people released from police custody. The most reputable, reliable bondsmen provide a wide range of supporting services, helping minimize confusion and stress while doing everything possible to ensure that your family members make it to all of their court dates. For these reasons, Godfrey Bonding in Canton, GA, recommends taking the time to find the best bail bond agency available.

Before making an agreement with a bondsman, they recommend asking:

What Percentage Do You Charge?

The percentage bond agencies are allowed to charge is tightly regulated in most states. In fact, many do mandate that all agencies charge the same amount. In Georgia, bondsmen are allowed to charge as much as 12%. They can be lower, but remember that you might be sacrificing service, expertise, or integrity for a rate much lower than 10%.

Are You Licensed?

In almost every state, bail bondsmen must be licensed and registered with the state. While almost all agencies are honest businesses that put a high premium on their integrity, you should always ask to make sure before entering into any legal agreements.

Will You Help Answer My Questions?

A good bondsman, who is concerned for the welfare of their customers, should be willing to guide you through the process and answer any questions you have. Knowing what's expected of you and your family members will help you avoid losing the property you've put up as collateral.
