Customer Reviews
Verified This Is An Excellent Informative Book. This is an excellent informative book. Some of the interesting facts that the author of this book mentions in this book include the following information: By choosing to post bail, families seek to ensure the safety of the defendant as well as provide the time and space to devise the best action for their defense. A responsible and informed person takes measures to protect themselves and the ones they love from problems long before they arise. It is prudent for all people in the United States to have a reputable lawyer and bail agent in mind before they ever need them. A defendant is more likely to accept a bad deal if the defendant is not out on bail. For some bail agents, a credit score before 600 means instant disqualification.Verified I wish I knew this sooner My brother was out watching a football game at a bar with his friends one night. I remember him telling me he was spreading his drinks out enough so he wouldn’t get drunk. And 0n his way home, he got pulled over by a cop for a burned-out taillight. The police officer arrested him for suspicion of DUI. Going through the legal system can be a horrible experience. If we only had this book sooner, it would’ve made our lives a lot easier with getting an attorney and understanding our rights. S.J. Plotkin includes a lot of valuable facts that I wish we knew back then.Verified You don't know what you don't know Honestly, I knew nothing about bail bonds or how that entire system works. It's absolutely fascinating to get an inside view of how the system works (or works against you in some cases). Knowledge is power. The author definitely sets himself as the expert, and has a lot of experience to back up what he's saying. The information was well organized, and he simplified complex concepts into bite sized chunks that made it easy to follow.I hope to never have to use the information in this book, but if I do, I'm glad I read it.Verified Fascinating! Informative! Interesting! I’m a believer! This was a smart interesting read! The bail bond system is perhaps the most under appreciated aspect of our justice system and yet it is possibly the first opportunity for a defendant to significantly change the outcome of their case. But few people know this! The professionals who do this service are basically underwriting insurance policies, assuring that over 99% of defendants appear in court and can be held accountable. If they don’t properly assess the risk of flight of a defendant, then the bail bond company won’t be in business for 70 years, thats for sure! I never knew how absolutely essential and fascinating the bail bond portion of justice is. I didn’t know the risks involved in not posting bail. Who would know this except a criminal attorney or those working in criminal justice? The rest of us didn’t receive the memo! Well, the memo is in this book!Verified Don't go to jail in the first place Wow, such an interesting view into the ugly side of bail and jail. This book provides real-world examples and tons of detailed information. I will keep this knowledge in my back pocket and hope I’ll never have to use it.Verified Before you say it will never happen to me . . . A prudent person must be prepared for unlikely things, even needing bail bond at some point. This book is concise, to the point and makes a good case for knowing something about this subject even if your life is honest. Sometimes people get caught up in things either because they are unlucky or unwary. In cases like this some out of the way knowledge could serve you well.Verified A great book to have for everyone, specially attorneys As a practicing California attorney, I found this book to be full of resources and information. I just cannot imagine a criminal defense attorney that finds a client (or potential client) in legal jeopardy to not be versed in this area of our legal system. since it is such an easy read, I think that anyone who finds a friend or family member charged with a crime, should also pick up this book to know the ins and outs of our bail system and many of the resources available. Lastly, I think it is just good information for everyone to have. Happy reading.Verified Best Bail Book! The book, author and his years of experience bring forth the most important information about the bail system. Every household, scholastic and place of work should have a copy of "get bail, leave jail", and educate everyone on the options and possibilities when someone encounters complications and unfortunate situations with the American legal system. I highly urge everyone to get a copy and read it thoroughly today; it's quite affordable and extremely necessary to be prepared. Thank you S.J.P !
