How to Get Bailed Out of Jail Quickly In Memphis

Posted on by

No one wants to sit in a jail cell longer than necessary. The longer you’re locked up, the larger the financial, emotional, and even mental toll the experience takes on you. The good news is that there are some things you can do that will help speed up the bail bond process.

Stay Calm, Cool, and Collected

The worst thing you can do after being arrested is lose your temper. Not only will throwing a fit not accomplish anything, but it can also make the situation worse. It’s not unheard of for a fit of temper to result in a person getting charged with additional crimes after they’ve been arrested. These additional charges delay the process and can result in your bail becoming even higher or even getting denied altogether.

Let Others Know What Happened

Many people try to hide their predicament from others, but in the long run, this is a mistake. Letting your loved ones know what has happened is in your best interest. Not only can they make sure that everyone close is aware of the situation, but they can also start to see if collecting enough money to post your bail is possible.

Reach Out to Memphis Bail Bonds

We have several decades’ worth of experience helping people just like yourself. The sooner you contact us, the sooner we can help you set up a payment plan, approve your collateral, and connect with a co-signer. The sooner this is done, the sooner we can post the bail bond and release you from jail.

Another thing that helps speed up the process is having some critical information that we require on hand when you first contact us.

To start the bail bond process, we need the following things:

  • Your legal name
  • Date of birth
  • List charges you’re facing
  • What jail you’re being held at
  • Your inmate/booking number
  • The bail amount

The reasons you should contact Memphis Bail Bonds include the following:

  • 24/7 Bail bond service
  • 20% Discount for veterans
  • Phone/online approvals
  • 0% Interest payment plans
  • No hidden fees
  • No collateral is required for working signers

How to Keep Your Life on Track While You’re Out on Bail

Posted on by

Just because you have been released from jail on a bail bond doesn’t mean you’re life will go back to being completely normal. You’ve only been released from jail. Official criminal charges against you will still impact your living over the next few months. You must keep your life on track and organized until your legal matters have been settled.

Here are a few tips that will help you keep your life on track while you’re out on bail.

Review any Restrictions Connected to Your Bail

If you have only been charged with minor crimes, likely, there aren’t any real restrictions connected to your bail. However, if the charges are more serious, the judge probably laid out some rules you must follow if you don’t want your bail revoked. Take some time to review these restrictions and make sure you fully understand how they will impact your day-to-day life.

Let Your Employer Know About Your Situation

Many people hope to hide the news that they’ve been arrested from their employer, but that isn’t always a good idea. First, information about who has been charged with what is readily available in local and online papers. If your employer frequently checks police records or county information, they will likely learn about your charges. It’s far better that they get the news from you.

The second issue is that there will be mandatory court dates in your future; it’s important for your employer to understand why you need those upcoming times off.

Arrange Your Finances so That you Have Budgeted for Bail Bond Payments.

If you signed up for Memphis Bail Bonds zero-down, zero-interest payment plan, you will want to sit down with your normal budget and figure out how to incorporate the regular payments into your budget.

Record Court Date Onto Your Calendar

The most important rule connected to being bailed out of jail is that you must attend all of your mandatory court dates. Don’t assume that you don’t have to go just because it’s something only your lawyer will speak about; you still do. Failing to appear at any mandatory court dates results in the automatic revocation of your bail.

In addition to knowing your court dates, make sure you take some time beforehand to arrange for reliable transportation.

The services our clients enjoy include the following:

  • 20% discounts for some applicants
  • Zero worry about hidden fees
  • Zero-down bail bond
  • Zero-interest bail bond
  • Flexible payment plans
  • Simple contracts
  • 24/7 service
  • Phone consultations
  • Online consultations

To learn more about bail, call (615)544-0000. Free consultations are available 24/7!

What to Tell Your Employer When You’re Arrested?

Posted on by

One of the first things you must consider when dealing with an employer and an arrest issue is that Tennessee is an at-will-employment state. This means employers have the right to terminate an employee’s employment status for any reason, including getting arrested. The state’s at-will employment status also means that the employer can terminate the employer/employee relationship without warning.

While this might seem like a one-sided situation, you should also know that by being an at-will employment state, employees are allowed to strike, quit, or refuse to work for any reason without advanced warning. It’s also important to note that even though the state is an at-will state, you can still file a wrongful termination lawsuit if you feel their reason for letting you go is an example of wrongful termination.

Reporting An Arrest

Depending on your job type and the charges you were arrested for, you may be required to report the arrest to your employer. Examples include individuals who drive as part of their job and are arrested for a DUI. In addition, certain types of employment and assault charges would also require reporting.

Just because you don’t see how your arrest would impact your employer doesn’t mean you shouldn’t report it. Your employer should learn the news directly from you rather than from another source. It’s possible that your employer could have something in their code of conduct that requires you to report any legal trouble you find yourself in officially.

Another reason to let your employer know about your arrest is so that they will understand if you miss a shift. Depending on your employer, they may even be willing to help you out with bail so that they don’t have to worry about covering your work shift.

Memphis Bail Bonds Can Bail You Quickly

One of the best ways to get quickly bailed out of jail and make sure you don’t miss any work is connecting with Memphis Bail Bonds. We have served the Tennessee community for several decades and know how to swiftly approve a bail bond and how to post that bail bond so that you’re released as efficiently as possible.

Our speed and experience are just one of the many reasons you should contact us if you’ve been arrested and want to be bailed out before your employer finds out. Additional reasons to connect with us include the following:

A Family Member Has Been Arrested

Posted on by

As far as you know it, getting arrested means that your life is pretty much over. You’re going to be kicked out of school and/ or fired from your job. You won’t get another career-focused job. You won’t get a loan, or an apartment. Your relationships with friends, family, and lovers will be ruined. This is not true.

We understand how stressful and flustered you must feel when you learn a loved one has been arrested. You never expected to have do deal with bail and we will continue to keep that task from you as much as possible. We’ll take care of the paperwork; we’ll take care of the processing with the jail. You take care of your loved one.

What To Expect

1. The family member is arrested and charged with a crime. The District Attorney (DA) will review the case and decide whether or not to file charges. If the DA decides not to move forward with charging the individual with a crime, the case is dismissed and he or she is free to go home.

2. If the DA does file charges, the individual will have an arraignment, at which time he or she will be notified of the charges made against them, and bail will be set.

3. The individual will be able to post bail with the court or through a bail agency. You may need (if you so wish) to help your family member meet the dollar amount for bail. If paying the court directly, the entire bail will need to be paid before he or she can be released. If paying a bail agency, the dollar amount is 10% of the full bail amount, and this can be paid on a schedule after the person is freed. Alternatively, your family member can choose to stay in jail and not pay bail at all.

4. At some point, trial will begin and end, at which time you all will learn of your loved one’s fate: freedom? A prison sentence? Community service?

Don’t psyche yourself out too much about your loved one. The best thing you can do right now is help pay his or her bail and support them.

How Can A Person Be Eligible For Own Recognizance Release?

You can consider being granted “own recognizance” release as the sincerest form of flattery when it comes to bail. This is a no cost bail where a judge will allow a defendant to be released from jail by signing a written promise to attend any and all court appointments. The defendant does not have to pay any money to get out of jail, which is a huge relief since bail is not cheap.

How does a judge decide whether a person is trustworthy enough to be released on own recognizance, or how expensive their bail is if they must pay?

  • Severity of the crime
  • Past criminal history, if applicable
  • Ties to the community
  • Danger to the community

Still, being released on own recognizance comes with certain conditions. On top of having to show up in court, a judge may require regular check-ins with a probation officer. A judge might also order the defendant curfew or to abstain from alcohol. If the defendant neglects any conditions of his or her release, or gets in trouble again with the law, he or she can be arrested again and bail eligibility would likely be taken away.

Some defendants are not so lucky and will have to pay money for bail. Conditions will still apply, like needing to show up in court and anything else the judge orders. Bail is expensive and if a defendant is unable to pay the court, they are highly encouraged to contact Memphis Bail Bonds. Paying for bail in this manner is more affordable than paying the court directly.

If you would like bail bond help, our company, Memphis Bail Bonds, is your answer. You can learn more details by calling us at (615)544-0000.

What You Need to do to Prepare Yourself for Court

Posted on by

For the most part, your lawyer will take care of the majority of court preparation over the days and weeks leading up to your court date. However, on the actual day itself, you will need to do a few extra things to prepare and present yourself properly. Your lawyer will also give you some tips of what to do and what not to do for your court appearance:

  • Dress as if you are going to a business meeting or interview and do not overdo the accessories.
  • Remove sunglasses and hats in court.
  • Do not chew gum.
  • Arrive 10-15 minutes before your scheduled court time and try and leave young children at home.
  • Use the restroom before going into the courtroom, and turn off your cell phone.
  • Sit and stand straight.
  • Speak clearly and loud enough for the room to hear and only when you are spoken to, and only what you are asked of.
  • Do not grow angry and argumentative.
  • Refer to the judge as Your Honor.

How you present and conduct yourself in court will speak to the judge and the jury in addition to the case, facts, and evidence itself. For example, if you get angry, verbal, and disruptive in court, the judge may pause the trial for the day and when you come back, they will be stricter with you. In essence, they are watching you for your behavior.

Listen to and trust your lawyer. If you are out on bail, do not forget to stay on track with bail bond payments. Memphis Bail Bonds will help make sure of this as well.

What if I Miss Court

Did you know that a person who is out on bail is more likely to show up for their court dates? One of the biggest reasons this is true is that their current release could not have happened if it were not for the bail bond co-signer and/ or anyone who pledged collateral.

If the defendant fails to appear in court, the co-signer feels the consequences and the collateral is taken away. So loved ones are betting on the defendant to show up in court; the defendant does not want to let their loved ones down. They want to prove to them, and to everyone, that they can handle this situation maturely and responsibly. This is why they are more likely to show up for court.

We can be reached at (615)544-0000 or online should you have any questions or concerns.

Stay Safe Going into the New Year

Posted on by

Going out on the town and painting it red on New Year’s Eve always seems like a great way to ring in the New Year. Celebrating at bars, restaurants, clubs, and community events is a lot of fun and a great way to create some spectacular memories, but it can also be dangerous. The good news is that there are steps you can take to protect yourself while making the holiday a memorable experience.

Pick a Group of Trusted Friends

There is safety in numbers which is why you should plan on going out with a group of people who are just as excited about going out as you are and who you trust. Before hitting the town, decide on things like who is driving (or if you’re getting a rideshare car or cab home.) Agree that no matter what happens, everyone leaves each location with the others, that no one leaves anyone behind, and have a form of communication ready to go if someone does get separated from the group.

Limit Your Drinking

Yes, you want to have a good time, but don’t drink so much alcohol that you get into a fight with your friends, or your normally good judgment wavers. Know what your limit is and pace yourself accordingly. If you do imbibe in too much alcohol, make sure at least one member of your friend group is sober enough to watch out for you.

No matter what you’re drinking, never leave your drink unattended. If you do have to leave your drink, order a new one when you return to the table. Never drink from a glass that you’ve lost track of, no matter how temporarily.

Stick to Areas You’re Familiar With

New Year’s Eve isn’t really the night that you want to explore new locations. If you do want to go to a New Year’s Eve party that’s in a part of town you’re unfamiliar with, visit that area in the weeks leading up to the party. That gives you a chance to find the safest parking spaces, bus stations, cab stops, and walking routes.

Leave Your Valuables at Home

New Year’s Eve is not the time to be waving around a lot of cash or to show off the nice new jewelry you got for Christmas. Those things make you attractive to thieves and pick-pockets. Limit the amount of cash you have on you and keep your nicer items at home.

Practice Self-Situational Awareness

Self-situational awareness is a great way to prevent yourself from becoming a victim this New Year’s Eve. The entire time you are out, be hypervigilant about your surroundings and the people in them. Pay extra attention to anyone who is taking an extreme interest in you or who seems to appear everywhere you do.

Stay safe and have a wonderful time ringing in 2022.

Avoid a Drunk Driving Charge This Christmas

Posted on by

No one wants to spend the Christmas season sitting in a jail cell with a DUI charge hanging over their head, yet that’s exactly what will happen to several people this holiday season. Drunk driving is one of the most common reasons people are arrested during the holidays.

Don’t assume that since it’s the holiday season, you can safely make it home after spending a few hours in the bar. You simply can’t anticipate every single situation you’ll encounter during the journey. There’s always a chance that something will happen and you’ll get into an accident.

The other problem with taking a chance during the holiday season is that state and local officers know that there are going to be more drunk drivers on the roads than during other times of the year. They’re prepared for this. There will likely be more officers patrolling the streets and they are going to be on the lookout for the erratic driving habits that indicate the person behind the wheel has had a few too many. They will pull you over and if you’ve been drinking, you will be arrested.

No one is going to go lightly on you just because you were caught driving while under the influence during the holidays. The potential sentence for a first offense will be a misdemeanor charge with a potential sentence of 3-5 years of probation, up to $1,000 in fines, losing your driver’s license for six months, and substance abuse school. If you’re in an accident that involves an injury or death, you’ll face additional charges that have significantly more serious penalties.

The thing you must understand about DUIs during the holidays is that they are actually pretty easy to avoid. If you’re going out, either with friends or by yourself, assume that you will drink too much and come up with a plan to get home. Arrange for someone to pick up when it’s time to leave the bar or party. If you can’t find a friend or family member to come to get you, take a cab or book an Uber. Spending a few bucks on the fare is considerably cheaper than getting convicted of a DUI.

Make this a happy holiday season that is full of good memories. The best way to do that is to make sure you only get behind the wheel when you’re completely sober.

Bail Bonds in Tennessee

Posted on by

No one creates a budget that includes the possibility of bail. That means that you’re not financially prepared when you get arrested. Not only do you not have the necessary funds set aside, but you’re also going to want to use any extra money you do have set aside to finance your defense.

The problem is you also don’t want to sit in jail for any longer than is necessary.

Memphis Bail Bonds has the solution. In exchange for a fee that adds up to 10% of the bail the court has demanded, we’ll provide you with a bail bond. Once we post the bail bond, you’ll be released from jail and allowed to rejoin your loved ones.

But what if you don’t have the money for the 10% fee?

We understand that even 10% can be a lot of money, particularly if your bail is high. We’ve created a program that we think will help. Many of the people who contact us about a Tennessee bail bond are pleased to learn that they qualify for our payment plan. This is a program that we customize for each client that enables you to make easy payments.

You’ll be pleased to know that, unlike your credit card company, we don’t charge interest. Once you’ve completed making payments, you’ll have only paid 10% of your total bail bond. Wouldn’t it be great if other businesses offered the same type of deal?

We also offer:

· 24/7 Bail bond service
· Phone/online approvals
