What should you look for in a bail agent?
Someone who knows the rules, explains them straight, and tells you what a bond costs before you sign anything.
Barry David Pearlstein owns Lucky Bail Bonds, here on Van Ness Avenue in Fresno.
He served three terms as president of the California Bail Agents Association and more than 20 years on its board. He has also led the Bail Association of Central California.
The Superior Court of California has certified him as an expert witness in bail matters. That means a court accepted him as qualified to explain how bail works, under oath.
The office writes more than the everyday bond: state surety bonds, federal bonds, appeal bonds and large bonds. Federal cases come with their own paperwork and court rules, so say it's a federal case when you call.
You can call and ask how bail works without agreeing to anything. Information is always free.
Call us anytime 24/7: (559) 268-4646.
