Don’t Waste Your Phone Call
In most cases you only get one phone call when you first go to jail. You should immediately call a highly qualified licensed bail bondsman instead of a friend or family member. Alliance Bail Bonds has the means to get you out of jail quickly whereas a friend or family member may not.
When you talk with a licensed bail bond agent at Alliance Bail Bonds, make sure you provide us with a complete summary of what is going on and who we can contact to help you get released from custody. Some questions that we would like to know are: Why were you taken to jail, which jail you are in, and if there is a case number yet that they can refer to?

Don’t Get Arrested Again
If you are released out on bail and awaiting your court date, it is imperative that you stay out of trouble. Getting arrested again can cause your bail to be immediately revoked by the state. You should try to stay at home with your friends or family while out on bond. Avoid going out late at night or going out to public places where you might get into trouble if you are seen. You might even want to avoid driving your car if you can; even a traffic offense could cause you a problem, please just be careful and contact us if you have any questions.

Don’t Be Late or Skip Your Court Date
And last but not least, make sure you show up on time and for each court date. If you don’t respect the time of the court and the judge, your bail could be revoked by the judge. Your co-signer then will be on the hook financially for the amount of money the bail bond agency put up for you if you don’t return to custody and nobody wants this to happen.
