Most people have never dealt with a bail bonds company before. That’s a good thing on the whole. However there may come a time when you have to be there for a loved one and choose a San Diego bail bonds company that will do everything they can to make a difficult time easier.
Brand
One of my huge pet peeves when calling a bail bonds company is how the answer the phone. A lot of companies will answer the phone by saying “bail bonds”. Are you ashamed of your company name? Do you not want people to know who you are? Think about it, would you call a restaurant for takeout and expect them to answer by saying “Restaurant”? I just don’t get this. If you were to ever call our San Diego bail bonds office whoever answers will always say “Sanctuary Bail Bonds”. We’re very proud of our brand and want people to feel comfortable with who they’re calling.
Online Reputation
Another thing to look for is reviews online. If you go to their Google places page (if they even have one) and there are a bunch of negative reviews then you probably want to stay away. Checkout Facebook and Yelp as well. What are people saying? Are there reviews stating they’ve run a shady operation so far?
Transparency
Are they willing to answer all your questions up front, without any hesitation? Will they show you their fee sheet outlining every fee they can charge? Who is their surety (insurance company)? What happens if the person you’re bailing out of jail misses court? Will the bail bonds company work with you or are they going to automatically throw him/her back in jail and charge you recovery fees?
Recommendations
A great resource are criminal defense attorneys. Criminal defense attorneys and bail bondsmen have the same clientele. If a defense attorney is not willing to say anything positive about a San Diego bail bonds company, then you probably don’t want to use them.
As always, Sanctuary bail bonds wants to be your San Diego bail bonds resource. If you ever have any questions, please feel free to give us a call or stop by our office. Even if you don’t end up using us, we’ll always be straightforward with you and give you honest answers.
