These days, it’s pretty common to turn to bail bonds. Florida Keys have a few different options in bonds agencies, so which one do you choose?

First of all, you want a bail bonds company that is able to handle your situation. The bondsman has to speak with the judge and pay the bail . . . things will go a lot smoother if you have someone who already knows the judge well and has conducted business often in the area.

Experience counts, so skip the agencies that have only a year of experience and look for those that have seen it all. They’ll know all the ropes and be able to zip through the process as rapidly as possible. They will also be able to let you know where they are at each step, which is very important when you’re stuck in jail, waiting on someone else to spring you.

Keep in mind that bail bondsmen will be able to answer any questions you might have. Ask your questions during the interview process to get a clear idea of just what is expected of you. Once you’ve been released, it’s expected that you’ll return for your trial. If not, a warrant will be issued for your arrest.

When it comes to bail bonds, Florida Keys agents who have more experience are always your best bet. Look for those who behave professionally and work efficiently. They will be good people to have on your side as you look to get out of jail.
