Anything is supposed to get better with age (like wine!) and experience, right? Wrong. As much as we’d like to believe that the more experience someone has in something, anything, the better they’ll be, it’s simply not always true. Unfortunately, some people are incapable of meeting certain standards not only for their own personal expectations but for those of anyone who needs their services.

Memphis Bail Bonds have been in the Tennessee bail bond industry for 29 years and compared to other companies, you might be surprised at how well and how fast we’ve grown compared to older companies who have been bailing people out of jail longer. Our family-owned and operated company has offices all throughout Tennessee and over 120 bail agents and representatives, each of whom we consider to be family, even if not related by blood. We hold core values like any blood-related family would have and that’s why each client of ours really knows that they are important to us and that we will take care of their needs appropriately.

Because we know and understand all our clients, we’re able to meet their needs quickly and execute the bail process accordingly.

Everyone is always looking for a good deal. While it’s true that many people will simply make grocery purchases without shopping around, that does not always apply to larger purchases. Whenever someone is making a big purchase or spending a lot of money, they always do some shopping around to find the best deal available. This is even true for bailing someone out of jail. People shop for the bail agent that will give them the best deal.

Here at Memphis Bail Bonds, we are able to offer qualified clients a 20% discount on the price of the bail bond. Qualifying for the discount is extremely easy. All we need to offer a client the discounts is to have a co-signer for the bail bond to be a homeowner, have a private attorney, or be a member of a union, the military, or AARP. That’s all it takes. So long as one of the co-signers meets one of those requirements, the bail bond will cost 20% less. This is just one of the ways we help reduce the cost of bail bonds.

We can also help reduce the initial cost of the bail bond by allowing clients to pay for it with a payment plan. This helps reduce the upfront cost of the bail bond and make each subsequent payment more affordable. We work with all of our clients to create personalized payment plans that fit into their monthly budgets. This way, all of our clients will be able to afford to bail out their friends and family members.

If you need to bail a loved one out of jail and are looking for a deal, contact Memphis Bail Bonds. We will provide you with a cheap and affordable bail bond. This way, you will be able to rescue your loved one from jail and still get a good deal.

Speeding Is Illegal and Dangerous in Memphis

Speeding Is Illegal and Dangerous in Memphis

Posted on by

Everyone has been late for something in their life. Anyone who has experienced this can attest to the fact that it is not fun. This makes a lot of people do whatever they can to avoid running late again in the future. Unfortunately, some people do this by breaking the law.

Speeding doesn’t seem like a big deal to a lot of drivers out there, especially since so many people do it on a daily basis. However, speeding is still illegal because it is dangerous. Speeding is classified as driving faster than what could be considered safe or prudent based on weather, visibility, and traffic.

The faster someone drives, the less time they have to react to an unexpected change or danger. This is what causes accidents. In fact, speeding is the third most common cause of accidents. Driving under the influence comes in second, and distracted driving is number one. This gives you a good idea of how dangerous speeding truly is.

Here in Tennessee, drivers will face tickets for speeding, which are arguably worse than just getting to their destination a few minutes late. So long as the overall speed was under 100 miles per hour (mph), the ticket prices are as follows:

  • $35 for being 1 to 15 mph over the speed limit.
  • $70 for being 16 to 25 mph over the speed limit.
  • $100 for being 26 mph or more over the limit.

For anyone caught going over 100 mph, they face a max fine of up to $500, as well as a 30-day suspension of their license for a first-time offense. If caught speeding like that again, the max fine can be up to $750 with a 6-month license suspension. A third or subsequent offense earns a person a max fine of $1,000 and a 1-year license suspension.

Despite how it may seem, speeding is a very dangerous thing to do. Driving at unsafe speeds can easily cause accidents that can harm or kill people, which is why the act is illegal.

How to Stay Safe and Secure While Shopping Online

How to Stay Safe and Secure While Shopping Online

Posted on by

With the passing of Halloween, the holiday season has begun. Now people all over begin to really crack down on their holiday shopping lists. They want to get the perfect something for everyone on their list. Not only does this mean an increase in shoppers at stores, but it also means more people will be going online to do their shopping. After all many people find this method of shopping more convenient.

Unfortunately, thieves are well aware of this fact. They become more active during the holiday season to take advantage of the increased amount of victims they can target. One thing that online shoppers need to be wary of is fake or malicious websites.

Some thieves will take to making new websites for people to buy stuff from. They will take the person’s credit card information and then either send nothing or send something that wasn’t what the person ordered. They will also make it difficult for the buyer to return items, or just have a bad return policy that can never be met.

One thing, in particular, to look for when making purchases online, is that the site is secure. This can easily be determined by checking the website address. Secure sites start with “https” and should have a lock symbol next to them in modern web browsers. This lets a person know that the site is secure and that any information typed into it will remain private.

Always be careful when shopping online. Make sure that you are on a secure site, and that you are on the site you want to be on, not one that mimics another, well-known site. After all, you do not want to willingly give your credit card information to a thief.

Alaska Quake Reminds Tennesseens to Be Prepared

Posted on by

As Alaska deals with the damages caused by a magnitude 7.0 earthquake, Tennesseens are being reminded of the dangers of earthquakes. Us Tennesseens are used to hearing about the next “Big One,” but we often tend to forget about it. This is usually due to the fact that we hear about it so much, that it starts to go in one ear and out the other. However, this is not something we should forget about, so here is a condensed list of things to remember about earthquakes and prepping for them.

  • Duck and cover when the shaking starts. Know where tables and desks are that you can get under to protect yourself from falling debris.
  • Have emergency plans. Know how to get out of any room in a building, and have a plan with family on where to meet up in the event of an earthquake.
  • Have supplies stored away. The earthquake can damage roads, making the gathering of supplies after the fact almost impossible. Even if you can get to the store, there is no guarantee that the store will be stocked after a big quake.
  • Know how to shutoff the electricity, gas, and water to your house in the event that the shaking damages any of those three systems.
  • Have important documents in a safe place, such as a fire safe.

These are just a few things to know in the event of an earthquake, if you want to more detailed information, click here. Many of the precautions listed above are things that people who experienced the Alaska Quake referenced as keeping them safe during the earthquakes and its hundreds of aftershocks.

A magnitude 7.0 earthquake is no laughing matter. The infamous 1994 Northridge Earthquake was actually smaller, clocking in at magnitude of 6.7. Tennessee is long overdue for a big quake, and the best thing that we can do is be prepared.

Tips for Preventing Christmas Tree Fires

Posted on by

Christmas just wouldn’t be the same without an evergreen tree standing tall and proud in the living room. This is why thousands upon thousands of people will be getting cut evergreen trees for their homes this year. While the trees look stunning, especially when fully decorated, they can pose a bit of a problem. Pine and other evergreen trees can be very flammable, especially as they dry out.

If a person wants to avoid the possibility of a fire in their own home, then they need to follow these tips.

  • Choose a fresh tree. A person should be able to touch the tree and not see a bunch of needles fall from the branch.
  • Place the tree away from any sort of heat sources that could cause the tree to ignite.
  • Replace any light strands that are broken or damaged as they can cause a spark.
  • Never place candles on or near the tree.
  • Water the tree daily to keep it hydrated.
  • Turn the lights off when leaving home or going to bed.

Once Christmas has come and gone, the tree should be removed from the room as quickly as possible. Over the course of the month, the tree will dry out and become more and more of a fire hazard. It should be removed as soon as possible and kept away from the house until it is removed completely.

Why We Love What We Do

Posted on by

Bail bonds don’t exist because the bail bond companies and the government want your money. Bail bonds exist because you have the right to be protected and, despite any crime you did or did not commit, the government wants to help you protect your rights. It might be a little convoluted that the government is trying to both punish you and protect you, but you have rights either way.

  • You have the right to non-excessive bail.

  • You have the right to be presumed innocent until proven guilty.

These are two of the most important rights bail bond companies serve to protect for people who have been arrested.

Bail is expensive to pay, but having a third party bail bond company like Memphis Bail Bonds is very helpful and more affordable. Bail bond companies do not have the power to reduce the set bail amount that the judge has given. Only the judge can lower the bail amount. But what bail bond companies like Memphis Bail Bonds does is ask you to only pay 10% of the bail amount. If you don’t use a bail bond, you would need to pay 100% of it.

Memphis Bail Bonds is very friendly and understanding and will help every client who needs it. You won’t be turned away because you did this crime. Innocent until proven guilty resonates well in bail bond companies.

So, don’t think all bail bond companies are only in it for your money. Some, like Memphis Bail Bonds have been doing this their whole lives because they truly want to make someone’s day a little better.

Animal Abuse Now Illegal at the Federal Level

Posted on by

Winter hasn’t even officially arrived yet and already Tennessee is beginning to see winter weather. This means that all pet owners should get ready to really start taking care of their pets this winter. This is especially true for pets who spend a lot of time outdoors. Failing to do so can get a person into trouble for animal abuse here in Tennessee.

On top of that, a new law has been signed into effect at the federal level surrounding animal abuse. This means that if a person abuses an animal, they can face charges at both the state and federal level.

The PACT Act

Surprisingly, there hasn’t been a federal law that prevents animal cruelty here in the United States until recently. The only thing that came close was the Animal Crush Video Prohibition Act that was signed into law back in 2010. That law only made it a crime to abuse an animal if the person filmed it. This law came about in response to a horrible internet trend where small animals were crushed by people stepping on them and then the videos were uploaded online.

This law had an unfortunate loophole that meant people who abused animals but didn’t film the act would not get into trouble, at least at the federal level. Luckily, many states have their own laws about animal abuse that likely covered the issue.

However, this has all changed thanks to a new law recently signed into effect. The Prevent Animal Cruelty and Torture (PACT) Act was passed through Congress and signed into law by President Trump. Under this new federal law, it is now illegal for a person to purposefully burn, crush, drown, suffocate, impale, or perform any other violent act that causes serious bodily injury to an animal.

If a person is caught breaking this law, they can face federal felony charges, fines, and up to 7 years in prison.

Animal Abuse in Tennessee

Here in Tennessee, animal abuse is outlawed by Penal Code (PC) 597. PC 597 is what is known as a wobbler offense, this means it can either be charged as a misdemeanor or as a felony depending on the facts of the case and the person’s criminal record.

When charged as a misdemeanor, a person faces:

  • Up to 1 year in county jail.
  • A max fine of $20,000.

When charged as a felony, a person faces:

  • 16 months, 2 years, or 3 years in state prison.
  • A max fine of $20,000.

Some additional consequences for both levels of the charges can include:

  • Having the animal permanently removed from the abuser’s care.
  • Paying for the housing costs of the animal during the trial.
  • Completing counseling as a part of probation.
  • An extra year added to the sentence if the abuse involved a deadly weapon.

Take Care of Animals

Animals are living creatures just like humans and they deserve the same care and respect as people. They also deserve the same protections, which is what this new federal law provides. Now, no matter where a person is in the United States, if they abuse an animal, they will face federal charges.

This law comes at a good time of year. With all of the cold weather of winter, pet owners need to take the proper precautions to keep their animal healthy and safe. Failing to do so can get them into legal trouble here in Tennessee, and maybe even at the federal level as well.

What do you think of the country’s new animal abuse law? Is it about time, or did we really need this law at all? Let us know what you think in the comments down below.
