"Phoenix Bail Bonds...There can be only one"

Getting the information you need when someone has been arrested in Maricopa County, or when you are trying to post bail bonds in Phoenix can be a daunting task.  

What steps do I take to locate someone?

Recent Arrest (less than 24-hrs):

• Call the automated Maricopa County Jail Hotline (602) 876-0322. You must know the inmate's date of birth and how to spell the inmate's name.  Be sure to write down the booking number and charges once provided.  It takes hours before an inmate gets booked.  If they were arrested on a Felony, they must go to their initial appearance (within 24-hrs of arrest) before they will have a bond.  Be patient.

If the system does not indicate a person by that name in jail and you are convinced that they are, you should stay on the line to talk to a clerk - expect a long wait.

Arrested more than 24-hrs ago:

• If you don't know the Booking Number, go to the  Maricopa County Jail's website and perform a search Inmate Information.
• If you are getting nowhere and you know they are in jail, please call us at 602-267-9057.

I know how much the bond is, how do I post it?

Cash Bail Bonds at the Maricopa County Jail

Anyone can post cash bail bonds at the Maricopa County Jail, but not everyone should do it. If you plan on posting your own bond, remember:

1. The jail only takes money orders and cashier's checks from the public.  
2. Never conduct business at a jail unless you KNOW you have no warrants for your arrest. You will be required to present identification at the jail and your name WILL be checked against the database.  If a warrant is found, you WILL be arrested.

If you live locally and have some time to kill (hours), you can save money by posting small bonds under $500 and bonds set for Failure to Pay Fines.  For larger bonds I usually recommend the use of a qualified Phoenix bondsman. Licensed bail bond agents have the power to arrest and surrender the defendant back to jail; an unlicensed person cannot surrender their bond back to jail, nor do they have the power to arrest the defendant. Having a bail bondsman on your side is good insurance.

We've heard it a 1,000 times, "He'll never run!", "He's never missed a hearing", or "He loves me, he'd never run".  Listen up; people will do almost anything to stay out of jail and when the chips are down, they usually think of themselves first.  The small fee that a bondsman charges for the bond is palled by the feeling of destitution you have if the defendant runs, or threatens to run and you have no power to stop him.

New Website

"There can be only one"

Phoenix Bail Bonds has launched a new website built for the convenience of our clients. We know you don't have time to wade through the typical hype and graphics associated with most bail bond sites, so our site is simply built and limits your choice to the three things we excel in: Credit Card Bonds, Cash Bonds, and Large Bonds.

Child Support Bail Bonds in Phoenix

When a person gets arrested on a warrant and incarcerated in the Maricopa County Jail for unpaid child support, the bond is set as Cash-Only.  In other words, the only way one can post this bond is by posting it in cash.  Most bail bond companies do not post cash bonds and those few companies that do post them will not post a child support bond.  Child support bonds are known as purge bonds.  Purge bonds, once posted, are forfeited to pay for the fine or obligation of the Defendant, in other words, you will not get your money back.  Bail bond companies rely on their bonds being returned after the Defendant goes to his/her court hearings in order to stay solvent.

Child support bonds can be successfully paid for with credit cards through our bail bond company.  Your card will be charged for the full bond amount and any of the fees associated with posting your bond.  The cost of posting your bond will be a 10% premium fee and a 3% merchant account fee for using your card.  We will post the cash bond immediately upon running the credit card.  Using a credit card allows the Defendant to be released right away.  Credit cards can be paid off by making monthly installments to your credit card company. 

If the Defendant is currently working, supporting a family, or has important obligations to meet, the child support obligation should be paid as quickly as possible.  The Arizona Courts take a hard stance against delinquent child support and will leave Defendants in jail for months.  Child support obligations will not be paid off by serving time in jail, therefore, you will still owe the same amount of money as you did before you went to jail.  Jobs are typically lost through extended stays behind bars, vehicles may be repossessed and homes lost when a Defendant cannot make installment payments because he/she is in jail.  The sooner one pays the obligation, the sooner one can get back to his/her life.

From time to time some companies selling Arizona Bail Bonds can arrange short term financing of the child support obligation without you needing to pay the full bond amount.  The options will typically be very short pay-offs 1-2 months, lots of collateral for security and high premium fees.  All of this can be worth it if you have obligations to meet.  The big lesson here is do whatever you can to pay your child support obligation while on the outside, because once put in jail you will be relying on the speed and resources of others to get you out.

Securing Bail Bonds in Phoenix

Securing a Phoenix Bail Bond can be a daunting task.  Where do you start to look?  How do you choose a good bondsman?  How much can you expect to pay?  First off, don't panic!  The person in jail is not going to perish and whether you post the bond within the next 5 minutes or in two hours from now will not make much difference as to when they will be released.  Start your search and learning process by performing an Internet search.  Read about the bail bond process and FAQs that some of the bail bond companies provide on their websites.  Get a general idea of what you are about to do.  When you feel like you have a general idea of what a bond is all about, call one of the companies listed on the Internet.  Pay attention to not only price, but ask about any other additional charges you will be expected to pay.  Unscrupulous companies will give a base price of their services to bait you in and make you believe their price is lower than their competition; once you are in their office they start adding on costs.  Run from this trap.  There are a dozen other companies out there ready to help you, don't settle for high pressure tactics.

Ultimately, hire a personable bondsman, someone you can relate with or one that has a knack of explaining things to your satisfaction.  Lastly, you are paying for a service, expect a bondsman to treat you like a valued customer.  You deserve some respect.
