General Info

Glickman Bail Bonds has been family owned and operated since 1970. We value our customers and treat them fairly and professionally. Unfortunately, not all bail bondsmen feel the same way. Friends and family experience a lot of stress when a loved one is in jail. If you have never experienced it, it can be a trying and emotional time. Glickman Bail Bonds understands that. That sense of panic leaves people vulnerable to a number of bail bond scams and fraud that unprofessional and unlicensed bail bondsmen prey on. Don't be caught by one of these schemes. Some can be costly for you and are illegal. STAY AWAY if any bail agent approaches you with one of these offers: 1) 'Cheap Bail Bonds' may seem like a good deal, but they're not: Some bail agents promise 5 or 6 bail or another amount that's much lower than the 10 bail bond premium required by law in most states. A company that offers a cut rate is likely either advertising deceptively or blatantly violating the law. 2) As with bail b ond pricing, California law regulates when and how bail agents can solicit business: Bail agents are prohibited fr4om hanging out in the jail or on the police station steps and offer bail service. Most agents ignore this law. 3) It is also illegal to cold call potential clients and solicit business, but some bail agents do it anyway. How would you like to get a call in the middle of the night from a bail bondsman telling you your son or daughter is in jail before you even speak to him or her?
