It doesn’t matter what the charges are, getting arrested is always a terrifying event. You want to get out of jail as quickly as possible. The best way to shorten your time in a jail cell is getting released on bail.

Learn How Much Bail Money You Need

Before you can get out on bail, you have to know how much bail you need. In most cases, the bail for the charges you face is predetermined. The booking officer will tell you the amount and you can start making arrangements to pay the bail as soon as our paperwork is processed.

There are some cases, such as violent charges and in cases where there is a laundry list of charges connected to your current arrest that will require a bail hearing. In this case, you’ll have to wait for the court to set the date and for the judge to decide the amount of your bail before you can really explore how to be released.

Contact the Tennessee Bonding Company

Unless you are one of the lucky souls who either has enough money in your bank account to cover your bail, or friends and family can come up with the cash. You’ll want to contact a bail bonds agency like Memphis Bail Bonds.

During your free consultation, you’ll learn that we charge a 10% fee. Don’t assume that because you don’t have the 10%, you won’t be eligible for a bail bond. We understand that you didn’t have a chance to plan, much less budget, for this particular problem which is why we have created flexible payment plans and zero percent interest options to help you out.

Signing a Contract

If you’re satisfied with us, we’ll arrange for you to sign a contract that outlines the payment plan we’ve settled on, the rules you must follow while out on bail, and how you agree to attend all of your court dates.

If collateral is required, it will be addressed in the contract.

Getting Released

As soon as the bail bonds contract is signed, we will write your bail bond and take it to the jail. We act almost instantaneously, but there are sometimes delays that are out of our control.
As soon as the bail bond is processed, you’ll be released.

Staying Out of Trouble

There are conditions you have to follow while you’re out on bail. Those conditions include not getting into any trouble and attending all of your court dates. In many cases, additional stipulations about where you can go, when you must be home, and who you can associate with are attached to your bail agreement.

Getting arrested is a traumatic, life-altering experience. The last thing you need is to make things worse by picking a bad bail bonds agency.

One of the mistakes people make is that they are in such a hurry to get out of jail, they don’t take the time to make sure they’re dealing with a legitimate bail bonds agency. We constantly hear horror stories from people who were victimized by con-artists who were simply posing as a bail bonds experts, had to sign away all of their possessions or dealt with an agency that either refused to cooperate or who constantly hassled the person.

Each time we hear one of these horror stories, we notice that if the person had followed just a few tips for choosing the ideal Tennessee bail bonds agency, they would have saved themselves a great deal of grief.

Research the Company

We understand that you probably didn’t have time to do any research before you were arrested and that conducting research for a jail cell isn’t easy, but there are still some things you can do to make sure you’re not about to enlist the services of a horrible bail bonds agency. The quick research you should do includes:

• Making sure the company is properly licensed and insured
• That they have a good reputation for bailing people out
• That the employees at the jail you’re currently being held at are familiar with the bail bonds agency and don’t wince when you mention their name

If the employees at the jail can’t provide you with the information, ask your lawyer to do a quick search of the company. The peace of mind you’ll get when your lawyer confirms that the bail bond agency is reputable will be worth the bill you get for the search.

Take Advantage of the Free Consultation

A surprising number of people we speak to think that the free consultation only exists so that the bail bond agency can decide if you’re the type of person they want to bail out of jail. The truth is that the consultation goes both ways. Yes, we use it to learn about you, but you should also use it to learn about us. The consultation provides you with the perfect opportunity to ask questions about our history, or business policy, how we handle each case, and the process we use to provide you with the bail bond you need.

Read the Contract

A reputable bail bonds agency will always require a contract. Don’t simply sign the document without first reading it. Read the exact terms of the contract carefully so you understand how much you owe, what is being used for collateral, and what happens if you fail to make your court dates. Don’t be afraid to ask questions about the contract

Shop Around

Don’t assume that you have to sign up with the first bail bonds agency you talk to. We encourage you to talk to other agencies and to ultimately choose the one you’re the most comfortable with.

GoFund Me has been a wonderful tool. It’s allowed people, non-profit organizations, and more to quickly raise money for important causes and emergencies. While many great things can be said about GoFund Me, as always, there’s also a dark side. Shortly after GoFund Me started making waves, scammers flocked to the site and started working a variety of cons.

Albert Lonzo Adams III is a perfect example of someone learning how to use GoFund Me to run a scam and earn money. In Adams’ case, people thought that they were helping dogs in need. On his GoFund Me page, Adams explained that he was the owner of the Soaring Paws Charity which flew to various locations around the country and collected dogs who would otherwise be euthanized.

People loved the work they thought Adams was doing and generated an enormous amount of money to his GoFund Me campaign. During the four years that Adams was actively using GoFund Me, he managed to raise over $140,000. He also created a new campaign that was going to help him purchase another plane.

Eventually, some people became suspicious of Adams GoFund Me campaigns and an investigation was launched. It was discovered that Adams was collecting the donations under false pretenses and using them for personal use. He was arrested and eventually charged with multiple counts of organized fraud and making a false statement in support of an insurance claim.

Adams isn’t the only one who has created a GoFund Me fraud. Others have found that the donation platform is a great place to run a scam.

The good news is that there are some ways you can make sure that the money you’re about to donate to a GoFund Me campaign is going where it should.

The first thing you should do is run a reverse image scam. Many fake charity organizations like the one Adams ran will use pictures the orchestrator of the scam has found online. If a reverse search reveals that the images are consistently coming from a source that doesn’t match the GoFund Me organizer’s name, don’t give them any money.

Make sure the campaign has generated at least some comments. In most cases, the first comments posted shortly after the campaign goes live will frequently be from friends and family. These types of comments give the campaign credibility.

Look into the organization’s history, if you aren’t able to find any history then see that as a massive red flag and hang onto your money.

The best way to make sure you don’t accidentally fall into a GoFund Me page trap is by only donating to causes that you have a personal connection to.

Electricity is one of those things you don’t appreciate until you suddenly find yourself in the middle of a blackout. The good news is that there are some things you can do to make sure you’re ready the next time the power goes out, even if the power remains out for several days.

Know Where Your Flashlights are

Instead of using candles, keep a large supply of flashlights and batteries on hand. Ideally, you should have one flashlight in every single room so you can quickly find them. Make sure that everyone in the house is in habit of putting the flashlights back after each use. The flashlights won’t do you any good during a blackout if you can’t find them.

Stock up on Power Packs for your Electronics

Pick up a few power packs and charge them up. These will come in handy if the power goes out for a long time. They allow you to keep your phone charged so that you can contact someone if there’s an emergency. During a blackout, you should try to conserve your cell phone’s battery by only using it for important calls. Don’t use the power packs to charge anything but the cell phones until the power comes back on.

Keep Some Food Staples in Your Home

Even if you don’t eat things like crackers and other non-perishables very often, it’s not a bad idea to have some stashed in your pantry so you can eat while you wait for the power problem to be resolved. Remember, without power, you’re microwave, hot plates, and electric stoves won’t work so there could be an extended time that you’re unable to cook food, so you need something that can be eaten straight out of the package.

In addition to making sure you have plenty to eat, make sure you also have plenty of bottled water on hand at all times.

Keep your Gas Tanks Full

If you’re in the middle of a city-wide (or larger) blackout, the gas stations won’t have power either. This is why it’s a good idea to always make sure you keep enough gas in your vehicle so that if something does happen in a blackout, you can at least drive to the nearest hospital.

Get a Carbon Monoxide Alarm

An increasing number of people are investing in generators, which allows them to use some things during a blackout. The bad news is that this also increases the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning. Having a few alarms in your home goes a long way towards keeping you safe if fumes somehow leak into your own home.

The most important thing to remember during a blackout is that staying calm makes the situation easier and that eventually, the power will come back on.

Thanks to a plethora of procedural shows, most people, even those of us who have never been in any type of legal are familiar with the concept of arrest warrants. We know that they are a document that the police are issued that allows them to arrest someone for a crime. We also know that in order for an arrest warrant to be issued, the police have to show a judge that there is enough evidence to justify swearing out the warrant.

What you might not know is that just like there are statutes of limitations on certain crimes, arrest warrants also have a statute of limitations attached to them. In Tennessee, there are also specific rules about when an officer can use the warrant to make an arrest.

Once they’ve obtained an arrest warrant, Tennessee police officers are only allowed to carry out the warrant and arrest you between the hours of 7 a.m. and 10 p.m. An exception to that would be if they pulled you over for a traffic violation or a different type of infraction during the off hours and saw that there was a warrant for your arrest.

Once the arrest warrant has been issued, Tennessee officers have 10 days to make an arrest. After that time, the warrant expires. Don’t assume that just because one arrest warrant has expired that you’re off the hook. The judge will likely issue another arrest warrant so that the officers can continue looking for you.

While an actual arrest warrant will expire after ten days, the same isn’t true of a bench warrant. A bench warrant will remain active until you have resolved the issue. In many cases, people don’t learn about old bench warrants until a potential employer conducts a background check or they’re pulled over for a traffic violation.

It doesn’t matter if you’re dealing with the fallout from an actual arrest warrant or a bench warrant, the last thing you want to do is spend much time sitting in a jail cell. You want to be released as quickly as possible. Memphis Bail Bonds can help. We’re a local bail bond agency that has the distinction of being everyone’s favorite bail bond service.

You can’t predict when you’ll be arrested. One minute you’re going about your normal day, the next something happens and you make a choice that ultimately results in you going to jail.

The good news is that you don’t have to stay in a cell forever. The whole reason the bail program exists is so you can return to your family and work while your case makes its way through the long, and usually slow, legal system.

The challenge many people face is that they aren’t sure how to handle the situation when they’re arrested after the banks close for the day, during the weekend, or on a holiday. Many mistakenly assume that they have no choice but to remain in jail until the normal weekday begins.

That’s simply not the case.

One of the many benefits Memphis Bail Bonds provides to folks just like you is a 24-hour bail bonds service. It doesn’t matter how late at night it is, what Federal holiday it is, or even if it’s the weekend, we’re ready and able to help you deal with your current situation and make sure you’re released from jail as quickly as possible.

When we say that we provide a 24-hour bail bonds service, we don’t mean that you can call anytime and leave a message. We mean that you will quickly connect with a real bail bond expert who will take you through a consultation. The consultation not only provides you with information about how our bail bond program works but also provides you with an opportunity to get answers to all of your bail bond questions.

We are set up so that as soon as you sign a bail bond contract we leap into action and post the bail bond. Once that’s completed, you’ll be free to go home and reconnect with your family. The process is both fast and smooth.

With our 24-hour bail bond service, the only reason you couldn’t be bailed out of jail on a weekend/middle of the night/or holiday is if you require a bail hearing. Those are usually scheduled during regular working hours.

Our 24-hour bail bond service is just one of the benefits you’ll enjoy when you turn to Memphis Bail Bonds for assistance making your bail. Additional benefits include:

· 24/7 Bail bond service
· Phone/online approvals
· 0% Interest payment plans
· No hidden fees
· No collateral required for working signers

For additional information, contact us. It’s easy. Simply call 615-544-0000 for an obligation-free consultation.

Finding out a loved one has been arrested is frightening. In most cases, your first instinct is to want to do everything in your power to get them out of jail and home.

When you either call or use the online chat feature to connect with us for a free consultation, we’ll answer any questions you have about how to bail someone out fast, but we feel that you should know that as long as you have some key information, we can go straight from the consultation to starting the bail bond process. If you don’t have the information during the consultation, that’s okay, but the time it takes you to gather it will also slow down our ability to bail your loved one out of jail.

The information needed to bail someone out fast includes:

• Your loved ones full name
• Their birthdate
• Their booking number (you should be able to get this from the jail)
• Payer’s Occupation/Employer Information
• Three references for the payer
• Address of both your loved one and the payer
• The phone number for both your loved one and the payer
• The amount of bail needed
• Credit card
• The name of the jail where you’re loved one is being held

We also require that you sign a contract.

The good news is that we are set up so that you can make all the arrangements to secure a bail bond via the internet. You don’t have to leave the comfort of your home. We can complete the entire process via email and chat.

Once we’ve collected all the information we require, we will go directly to the jail and post the bail bond. At this point, it usually doesn’t take long for your loved one to be released, though there is sometimes a delay on the jail’s side of things, especially if they’re busy.

• 0% Interest payment plans
• 24/7 availability

In most situations, you’ll know exactly how much bail money is needed for you to be released as soon as the booking officer has finished processing your bail. That’s because the charges filed against you are relatively minor and bail was pre-determined long before your arrest.

There are some exceptions.

In some felony cases, such as murder, a bail hearing will be scheduled. During this hearing, your defense lawyer and the prosecutor will appeal to the judge. Your lawyer will be asking for a low bail amount and the prosecutor will want the opposite. After both sides have spoken, the judge will consider several things before setting your bail amount.

The Charges You Face

The charges filed against you play a huge role in how much the judge sets bail for. They will look at similar cases and see what bail was used in those situations. The judge will also look at the circumstances surrounding your charges and what the prosecutor is basing their case on.

What Evidence Has Already Been Gathered

The fact that your case has already progressed to the point of a bail hearing, the police have already gathered a great deal of evidence against you and the prosecutor is already building a case. The stronger this evidence is, the higher the judge will set bail. The idea is that if the case against you is weak, you’re less likely to flee the area once you’re released.

Your Criminal Past

If this is the first time you’ve been in trouble with the law, the judge will likely set a lower bail than if you have an extensive criminal history. If the judge feels that your history indicates you’ll continue to break the law or be a threat to society while you’re out on bail, they’ll either set an extremely high bail or deny it altogether.

Your Ties to the Community

One of the main things the judge looks at while setting a bail amount is how closely you’re connected to the community. Having a long history in the area, a local family, a solid work history are all good things. The idea is that if you are closely connected to the community, you’re less likely to jump bail and flee.
If you’re from out of town, the judge will likely consider you a flight risk and deny bail.

The better you present yourself during your bail hearing, the better the odds become that the judge will set a lower bail, which increases the odds of you being approved for bail.

If you’ve been arrested in Tennessee and find yourself in need of a bail bond, don’t hesitate to contact Memphis Bail Bonds. We’re available 24/7 and always offer free bail bond consultation.
