The second part of Bail Bonds Terms defined.
We will give those interested a brief definition of what the term "Signature Bond" means.
A signature bond is basically a bond written with no collateral.
Instead, a good signer (indemnitor) whose guarantying the bond.
It should be mentioned that a signature bond may also be called a no collateral bond.
The following are answers to a few questions received during a recent focus group on Bail Bonds
Q.
Do all companies offer signature bonds?
A.
No.
We have found that most of the larger companies do write signature bonds but their requirements and limitations usually vary.
Q.
What are the most common requirements for a signature bond to be written?
A.
We can only speak for our company; our requirements always vary depending on the dollar amount of the bond as well as the charges that the defendant is being charged.
We at All American Bail Bonds will often look at employment, credit or a combination of the two to determine if a signature bond is to be approved.
Off the record:
Being an agent myself for a couple of years with this company I can tell you that All American Bail Bonds follows a strict guideline “If You Work You Bail,” as the saying goes. As a larger company dedicated to customer service and promoting a positive image of the bail bonding industry All American Bail Bonds will do everything within reason to get your bond approved without any or very little collateral.
Q.
Can the person in jail (defendant) qualify for a signature bond himself without the additional help of anyone else?
A.
This is a tough one to answer with a yes or no; in order for the defendant to qualify with a signature bond only, we would have to look at not only the charges but as well as the defendants criminal history, job history, and credit history.
It should be noted that All American Bail Bonds will usually avoid writing a signature bond only when there are no other individuals or collateral involved in the security of the bail bond. The company has approved these types of bonds but normally will look for other signers.
Q.
With Signature Bonds can we still do payment plans if the full percentage is not an option?
A.
Yes,
All American Bail Bonds prides itself on its policy of the “bail now pay later” program.
Of course in order to qualify for a signature bond with no money down the company will require solid co-signers whose good name will be used to guarantee not only the bail premium but as well as the full face value of the bond.
We hope this information has been helpful, as the days go by we will continue to write additional blogs to better help the public understand the bail bond industry.

Bond Exoneration Document Defined, By Bail Bondsman in Long Beach
It has come to our attention at All American Bail Bonds that there are many terms in the bail industry that people are unclear on, such as “bond exonerated.”
The following information was put together to help clear up those questions, please enjoy!
When you bail someone out through a licensed and accredited bail bondsman there will be certain things required of you to present to the bonding company once the defendants case has been concluded. The most important item you will be required to produce will be the bail bond exoneration certificate. The bond exoneration form may have more than one name. For example, some may call it “a certificate of discharge” as well as bond exoneration document, or you may be able to get a certified copy of the minute order. Whichever one of these forms you choose to get it needs to be certified by the court clerk, and it has to include the bond number, name of the bonding company as well as the surety. This form is the official court document that shows that the liability of the surety and the bonding company for the bond written has ended.
Please note: It is common practice for bail bonding companies to charge a fee of up to $250 for sending an agent to pick up the document from court. Every company that we have spoken with has told us that they have some fee written into the contract for those individuals who fail to obtain the document themselves. It should be mentioned that if you have hired private council (attorney) they themselves may obtain all necessary document from the court clerk’s office.
Below are some common questions that we have received in a recent focus group:
Q.
Why do we (client) have to produce the document?
A.
Bail Bonding companies are in an essence using someone else’s money (surety or insurance company) to guarantee the full face value of the bond. When the bond gets exonerated the surety requires the bonding company to send in the certificate of exoneration to remove the liability from their name. Especially, when you have collateral, the surety will not release the collateral until they receive the exoneration of bond.
Q.
Where do we (client) get the exoneration of bond document?
A.
The exoneration of bond document should be obtained from the criminal clerk’s window in the courthouse to which the case was heard.
Q.
If we (client) are willing to pay the additional fees can we just let the bonding company pick up the required document for us?
A.
Yes! The document required is a public document and anyone can pick it up, including your bail bondsman.
Q.
What if I (client) don’t pick it up what will happen to me?
A.
You will be charged a fee and if you fail to pay, then your file will go into collections.
Please Note:
If there is collateral for the bail bond, it will not be returned until the exoneration has been received, and of course all fees have been paid.

What if I bail someone out, Things you should know before using a bail bonds service, By Bail Bondsman in Los Angeles
We at All American Bail Bonds decided to write this article after we received similar questions from a group of people we spoke to during one of our question and answer focus groups. The people we spoke to have all bailed out loved ones in the past, some have used our services, others our competition such as Aladdin, Absolute and Lipstick Bail Bonds just to name a few. We took all the questions we received and put together this small blog entry to help address the public’s most important questions on bail.
Q. 1.
Why do we have to put up collateral and if we do why do we have to sign a deed of trust?
A.
Collateral is not always required!, Being a larger more active company we have compiled history of good and bad bail. We have found that through proper negotiating we have been able to secure many of our bonds without the requirement of collateral. Many of the smaller bonds we may write will often not need collateral and are written as a “Signature Bond.”
For those bonds that we find are of a higher risk we may require collateral in the form of a pink slip or real property. If real Property is taken we the Bail Bonding Company will require a Deed of Trust, for the deed of trust is how we secure the bond itself ensuring that our investment in the bond is guaranteed.
SIDE NOTE: If a deed of trust has been taken as collateral you are basically putting up a property (home) as a guarantee that the defendant will appear in court each and every time. If the defendant fails to appear in court and we, the bonding company, are unable to locate the defendantto get him back to court then you may lose your property to cover the face value of the bond written plus all applicable “bounty hunting” fees or legal cost.
Q. 2.
If I put my property up as collateral and a lien is placed on said property, how do I have the lien removed?
A.
Once the defendant completes his/her court obligations and the bond is “Exonerated,” you will be required to go to the courthouse, clerks window and get the exoneration of bond document or a certified copy of the minute order showing that the liability to the bail bonding company has been concluded. It is your responsibility to get the form to your bail bonding company and request for the lien to be removed.
Please Note:
The bonding company will NOT remove the lien until they have received the OFFICIAL verification the bond has been exonerated; also the bonding company may require an additional fee before they can remove the lien, “lien removal fee.”
Once the exoneration of bond has been received and all contractual fees have been paid you will receive a “Full Reconveyance” usually within 30 days.
Please Note:
We at All American Bail Bonds have found that we could send out the reconveyance usually in less than 7 days.
SIDE NOTE:
A common misconception we heard within our focus group was the belief that once the bond is exonerated we receive our money back for the bond, this of course is incorrect.
The bail bonding company does not receive its money back once the bond is exonerated and even if the case is never filed the person who guarantees the premium is still responsible to pay the remaining balance until Paid off.
Q. 3.
What are the legal percentages that a bonding company may charge and can they negotiate whatever dollar amount that they want?
A.
First of all, the lowest legal limit that a bonding company may charge is based on their surety's filed rate with the California Department of Insurance. What we have found, here in California, the lowest legal limit is 8%and the maximum one can charge would be 15% up to $10,000, and not over.
For the most part, the maximum you will find will be no more than 10%, if you are charged a greater bail premium than 10% you should contact the department of insurance immediately.
PLEASE NOTE:
The Bail Bond business is a cash business and and with any cash business you will find “shady” companies.
If you find yourself in need of bail and you come across someone walking around a local jail or court facility offering to “discount” a bail bond, charge less than 8% which is the lowest legal limit, then we advise you to be very cautious and ask for their bail license and the name of their company. What we have found is that there are many individuals around local jail and court facilities who do offer illegal discounts who are not even licensed bail agents and in fact are no more than crooks themselves trying to steal from the unaware or naive.
PLEASE NOTE:
Never exchange cash in public unless you feel 110% confident that you are dealing with a licensed and accredited bail agent. We are seeing more people trying to steal from clients who are in need of a bail bondsman and are not properly educated on how bail works.
Q. 4.
What happens if the person I bail out “fails to appear” and the bonding company is unable to find him/her, the “fugitive?”
A.
In California if a bail bonding company is unable to locate the client within a maximum of 360 days from the forfeiture of the bail bond, the bail bonding company will have no other option but to pay the court the full face value of the bond written plus all applicable court anfd legal fees.
PLEASE NOTE:
The court will charge additional fees on top of the forfeited dollar amount!
If the bail bonding company is forced to pay the bond amount, plus fees, you the guarantor of the bond will be charged in turn for all fees that you have contractually guaranteed.
All American Bail Bonds has been conducting business for many years and never once have we not received full compensation for a forfeited bond that written correctly.
PLEASE NOTE:
DO NOT PARTICIPATE IN THE GUARANTEE OF A BAIL BOND UNLESS YOU ARE A 110% PERCENT COMFORTABLE THAT THE ARRESTEE WILL APPEAR IN COURT EACH AND EVERY COURT DATE, OR MAKE DARN SURE THAT YOU CAN FIND HIM/HER.
Now the above four questions might seem like common knowledge to some, but what are home work shows is that the average “good citizen” doesn’t have a real good idea of how this whole crazy bail process works.
SIDE NOTE:
To all the bail agents, no.……Bail Bondsman out there, we not only have a legal responsibility to the people that rely on us for the bailing out of their loved ones, we also have a moral obligation to do the “wright thing.”
I, no name necessary, have been writing bail for a lot of years, and I have met any number of good honest bail bondsman, and unfortunately have met more dishonest bail bondsman than honest. I have seen more shady bondsman and more shady going-ons’ and heard more horror stories than I would like to admit. We at All American Bail Bonds as a Bail Bonding Company have made multiple attempts to improve our industry and still have our fingers crossed that we the good guys can work together to rid Los Angeles of all those “bad Actors.” I guess we’ll just keep on trying!!

Reasons a Bail Bond may be Revoked, by Bail Bondsman in Los Angeles, CA.
Recently we at All American Bail Bonds were forced to revoke a bail bond on a client who was bailed out by our company. While the agent was at the courthouse he was approached by some individuals who themselves were out on bail through other local companies. The individuals were questioning as to why we revoked our clients bond and were concerned that their bonds may be revoked as well. In hearing this we felt concerned that maybe there are individuals who are out on bond who don’t quite understand the complexity of what they have agreed.
Yes, it is written in the Constitution of the United States that you have the right to bail, but it is not written that once on bail you have the right to stay on bail. Let me explain the Constitution does give you the right to bail out but you still are obligated to abide by the companies policies as well as all Federal, State, and Local laws. Think of bail as an extension of jail and the bondsman as your jailor, when you’re on bail it is the bondsman’s responsibility to not only get you back to court but also keep you in line. Each bail company may have its own set of policies which you agree to in writing upon release, but all companies have the same general policies. The following are All American Bail Bonds policies for those out on bail. You may find that your bonding company has many of the same, if not all of the same policies.
1. Appear in court, on time, Each and Every Court Appearance until Bond is EXONERATED.
2. Follow all Laws.
3. You may be required to check in on a daily or weekly basis.
4. If you change address you must notify us within in 24 hours. This can be informal such as a telephone call, but you may want to put it in writing as to protect yourself.
5. If your contact numbers change you must notify us within 24 hours. Once again, this can be informal such as a telephone call, but you may want to put it in writing as to protect yourself.
6. If we attempt to contact you and are unable to do so you must contact us back as soon as possible. We will make every reasonable attempt to contact you including but not limited to:
Phone Calls
Text Messaging
Emails
Letters (Certified and U.S. Mail)
Going to Addresses listed
It is rare that we have to contact clients, so if we try, it is imperative that you contact us back!
7. The indemnitor or Guarantor request, in writing, that we do so. This is normally the case when the indemnitor feels that the defendant out on bail is not abiding by the agreed upon requirements.
8. Any additional Court Requirements to be stated by the Judge.
Now the above listed are reasons that a bail company may revoke a bond, the following is a reason that a bond MAY NOT be revoked.
1. NON-PAY. Yes, it is not an acceptable (the word "illegal" has been removed) for a bonding company to revoke a bail bond when any amount of the bail premium has been paid. If the defendant or indemnitor fails to make any payments it turns into a civil matter and can be handled with any form of LEGAL collection method.
If it is found that a bonding company revokes a bond for non-pay than they may be ordered to return the entire paid premium and may possibility held to answer to their local licensing agency, in California it is the California Department of Insurance.
WHAT HAPPENS AFTER A BAIL BOND GETS REVOKED?
When a bail bond gets revoked it must be noted that there may be additional costs involved and per the contract those additional fees can and most likely will be passed to the financially responsible parties. Yes that’s right, If a bonding company legally revokes a bail bond they can go after anyone who signed the contract. We as a company have had to revoke bonds and have passed all cost to those who signed.
Bail Bonding companies are businesses and no one works for free, that includes those individuals who work for the companies, they must be compensated for their service, and there are often additional court cost that must be paid as well.
IN CONCLUSION.
We at All American Bail Bonds know there are many shady bail bonding companies out there, but were not one of them.
We are not the run of the mill company who will write any bond without the considering liability or “risk”. When legitimate companies write bail they are in a sense putting up their own money and assets. If you are considered a high risk client, than expect for your bail bonding company to want to keep an eye on you, this is the nature of the business!
If you feel that you have been treated unfairly by your bail bonding company than contact the licensing agency in the state in which the company operates.
The following information is for those companies operating in California

Lancaster Sheriffs Deputy shot at in Lancaster Ca, By Bail Bondsman in Lancaster
It has been reported that on October 30 2010, a Sheriffs Deputy was allegedly shot at by two individuals while the Deputy was attempting to turn around his marked sheriffs car. The deputy attempted to conduct a traffic stop of a car for not having a front license plate (a vehicle code violation), near 10th Street West and Jackman Avenue, Lancaster Ca.

Long Beach Police Department positions to be saved! By Bail Bondsman in Long Beach
Long Beach- A dozen or more positions could be saved from the up to 76 possible that could be cut do to a city budget crisis.
During a meeting of the City Council's Budget Oversight Committee at City Hall, Director if Financial Management said that the cutting the proposed Long Beach Police Department academy for the 2011 year could save the city $1.5 million dollars.
4th District Councilman Patrick O'Donnell said "The proposition of laying off and then three months later starting an academy is darn foolish." Councilman Patrick O'Donnell is a member of the committee along with 3rd District Councilman Gary DeLong and 2nd District Councilwoman Suja Lowenthal.
Lori Ann Farrell, who is the Director of Financial Management said that more than 20 Police officers could
potentially be laid off because of planned cuts to help eliminate an $18.5 million general fund deficit.
Braden Phillips who is the Bureau Chief of Police Administration Bureau said that he didn't yet know exactly how many positions the $1.5 million would save, but that likely one sergeant and 11 police officers would be preserved.
City Manager Pat West's proposed budget calls for "Plan A" cuts and more draconian "Plan B" cuts, which would be necessary only if city employee associations don't agree to freeze their pay.
Plan B appears to be a growing certainty, especially for the police, whose association president has said officers aren't going to forgo their pay raises. Mayor Bob Foster told the Press-Telegram Tuesday that Plan B cuts "are going to go ahead" without contract concessions.
The Plan A police cuts would eliminate 27 sworn police positions, which are all vacant, and outsource school crossing guards, along with a few other cuts to save $3.8 million.
The Plan B police budget would cut 44 patrol officers and five patrol sergeants and their vehicles to save $6 million.
The $1.5 million police academy funding had been placed among the Plan B reductions to give the council another savings option, but it isn't necessary to make up for the police officers' pay raises, Farrell said.
This article was originally posted on 9/08/10 by the Press Telegram, We at All American Bail Bonds felt it was relevant to our commitment to post information on Bail Bonds and Law Enforcement.

BAIL BONDSMAN ACTING BADLY, RIVERSIDE BONDSMAN CHARGED, BY BAIL BONDSMAN IN RIVERSIDE

The Press Enterprise reported that on Wednesday Oct. 20th Damion Paul Perkins was arrested on suspicion of committing two felony charges, kidnapping and assault with a deadly weapon. Damion Perkins who ran the riverside based Bail Bonds United, not to be mistaken with United bail bonds in Sacramento, has held a valid bail license since 3/16/2001. Perkins was hired in July to post bail for an inmate located in a Riverside facility. It has been alleged by the California Department of Insurance and The Riverside County sheriff that when the man was unable to pay his bail premium Perkins and an unnamed accomplice went to their clients house and demanded him outside at gun point in front of his family including his children. The client was placed in the back of the car and driven around while Perkins negotiated payment for his release. According to reports Perkins and the client were able to come to an agreement on payment and the client was returned home and released. The case was investigated by insurance officials and the Riverside Count D.A.'s office, which in turn file charges on Tuesday,Perkins is currently being held at the Robert Presley Detention Center in lieu of a $1 million dollar bail.
If anyone has any information related to possibly other criminal actions committed by either Damion Paul Perkins, United Bail Bonds of Riverside, or other employees or agents of United Bail Bonds of Riverside please contact the Riverside County Sheriffs Department.
Now on a personal note.
I have no doubt that this Bail Agent Damion Perkins negotiated a bail bond with an individual who was in custody. If your going to write bail on the word of the arrestee alone than you better make sure he or she can afford to pay.These foolish bail bondsman need to understand that writing bail with out a guarantee is unwise and will lead to loss. If these bail bondsman or as I like to say "bad actors" would wise up, we could work together to actually clean up the image of the bail bondsman.
If you are in need of a bail bonding service in Riverside Ca or any other county in Southern California please contact All American Bail Bonds @ 866-743-8688, You can Also visit our web site at http://allamericanbailbonds.net/ .

O.R.'d Illegal Carlos Montana kills Nun and injures others while driving drunk, From Bail Bondsman in Los Angeles
An illegal immigrant awaiting a deportation ruling has been charged with killing a nun and critically injuring two others in a drunken driving crash that has sparked criticism of how immigration enforcement is handled.
Twenty-three-year-old Carlos Martinelly Montano, who police say is illegally in the country, is charged with drunken driving, involuntary manslaughter and felony driving on a revoked license after the accident on Sunday in Virginia's Prince William County. Montano was arrested two times before and charged with drunken driving, according to county police, and has also been arrested in separate incidents for other traffic-related offenses. Police say Montano, who is from Bolivia, was turned over to Immigration and Customs Enforcement after at least one arrest, and a prosecutor said he knew of at least one other occasion he'd been referred to immigration officials.
The Department of Homeland Security said Tuesday that Montano was released in 2008, pending an immigration judge's review of his case. As of August 2010, a judge had not ruled on his deportation.
U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano called the crash a "terrible thing" when asked about the incident during an unrelated news conference at D.C. police headquarters Tuesday. Napolitano said she immediately asked officials to look into the situation.
"This is a horrible case," said Napolitano, whose department includes ICE. "Why is it that this individual was still out driving? He was in removal proceedings. Why were the removal proceedings taking so long?"
Prince William County's top elected leader and a Kentucky congressman, both Republicans, criticized federal immigration officials for not deporting Montano.
"As the facts surrounding this tragic case continue to come to light, I think it demonstrates the need for ICE to be more efficient and effective in their deportation duties," Kentucky Congressman Hal Rogers said in an e-mailed statement.
Corey Stewart, the chairman of Prince William County's Board of Supervisors, says the accident highlights the need for federal immigration reform. Stewart championed and implemented one of the nation's strictest county-level anti-illegal immigration policies. The local law requires that police inquire about the immigration status of all people arrested on suspicion of violating a state or local law. He says it's "extremely frustrating" that even with the county's policy, not all those turned over to ICE are removed from the country.
"We handed him over to the feds assuming he would be deported, but instead federal authorities released him back into the neighborhood and he killed a nun," Stewart said. "We feel like we are beating our heads against the wall."
A Catholic nun and spokeswoman for the Benedictine Sisters of Virginia says sisters of the three nuns involved in the accident have always stayed out of the debate over immigration. Sister Glenna Smith says the Catholic nuns have always provided social services _ including adult literacy courses and counseling _ regardless of immigration status, and they are upset the tragedy has become fodder for policy debate.
"The Benedictine Sisters are dismayed and saddened that this tragedy has been politicized and become an apparent forum for the illegal immigration agenda," Smith said. "It is not optional for us to choose mercy and forgiveness. We know this young man will be brought to justice, that's appropriate, and we hope he will learn to make better choices."
Montano's car crossed a median Sunday morning when it hit the car carrying three nuns, police said. Sixty-six-year-old Sister Denise Mosier was pronounced dead on the scene, and two other nuns _ Sister Charlotte Lange and Sister Connie Ruth Lupton _ were critically injured and remained in a hospital on respirators Tuesday, according to Smith.
It wasn't clear from jail records if Montano had an attorney.

BAIL BONDSMAN ACTING BADLY, RESPECT BAIL BONDS APPEARS TO HAVE NO RESPECT FOR THE LAW, FROM BAIL BONDSMAN IN ORANGE COUNTY
A bail bond agent has been arrested and charged with soliciting attorney referrals and inmate business in an illegal bail-bond referral scheme.
Ronald Lee Brockway, 50, of Seal Beach, was arrested early Thursday.
Brockway is accused of sending numerous e-mails to attorneys soliciting them to participate in an illegal bail bond scheme with his company, Respect Bail Bond.
In his messages, Brockway is also accused of suggesting that the attorneys refer bail bond business to him. He is also accused of offering to refer clients to the attorneys in order to "increase both of our earnings substantially."
He is also accused of unlawfully soliciting business from inmates by mass mailing flyers to the Orange County Jail.
California law prohibits bail bond employees from soliciting bail business from any inmate. The law also prohibits bail bond employees from recommending any attorney to any bail bond client, even if no money changes hands.
Brockway was being held on $50,000 bail Thursday morning. He faces a maximum sentence of three years and eight months in state prison. A date for his arraignment has not yet been determined.

BAIL BONDSMAN ACTING BADLY, BAIL BONDSMAN ARRESTED FOR FAILING TO RETURN COLLATERAL, FROM BAIL BONDSMAN IN WHITTIER
A bail bondsman from Whittier was arrested Thursday for allegedly misappropriating $30,000 from a client, officials said.
Arturo Miramontes, 40, was charged with two counts of grand theft by embezzlement.
He is a licensed bail bondsman at Rodeo Bail Bonds in Whittier. A phone number listed for the business was disconnected.
Miramontes has a July 6 arraignment at Clara Shortridge Foltz Criminal Justice Center in Los Angeles.
In late 2007, the victim contacted Miramontes to secure a bail bond, giving the defendant $30,000 as cash collateral. The victim's court case was completed and his bail was exonerated.
Miramontes allegedly failed to return the cash collateral to the victim and allegedly embezzled funds from the insurance company for which he wrote the bond, said Shiara Davila-Morales, spokeswoman for the District's Attorney's Office.
He was booked at the Sheriff's Century Station, according to the sheriff's booking system. But it doesn't show if Miramontes posted bail.
