Working With A Bail Bondsman After Hours

In most circles, business dealings are limited to traditional office hours. However, given that an arrest can occur any time of the day, it is only right that a bail bondsman also is available late at night, or overnight. Should you or a loved one ever find yourself under arrest after hours, learn what steps to take to bail out.

Check Online

Depending on the bail bonds agency, they may not have a representative in the office twenty-four hours a day, but it does not mean they are not reachable. One of the first places you should look is online to see if they have an after-hours contact form. Typically, you can fill out this form with a request for after-hours assistance and someone will call you back as soon as possible. 

As you navigate the website, you should also look to make sure there is not an after-hours phone number listed. Either of these communication methods can help get you in contact with someone who can help you as soon as possible.

Collect Necessary Documents

After you have made the initial contact with the bail bonds agency and you are waiting to hear back, it is a good time to gather all important documents. Where your loved one is being housed, their full name, and possibly, their charges are just some of the details the agency will need. 

As far as your information, a blank check, the name of your employer, and your last paystub are just some of the documents the bail bonds agency might need to secure and approve the bond. The more information you have readily available, the smoother the entire process will move forward. 

Exercise Patience

Be prepared to exercise patience. Bail bond professionals understand the legal system and work diligently to get their clients released from custody as soon as possible. However, when it comes to the legal system, the reality is that not every process is predictable.

For example, staffing shortages at the facility may delay detainee releases. Also, if the charges are still being assessed and finalized, the release process may be extended. You can keep your stress level lower if you are patient and remember the agency is working behind the scenes.  

Again, if you find a loved one, or yourself, in this predicament, remember that a bail bond professional is available to help you any time of the day. Be sure to reach out as soon as possible for assistance.
