*snort* Coming from a very poor background, I can assure you that very, very few bondsmen will trouble themselves to assist you for a mere 300 dollars worth of bail.

Get real, mate. That’s like asking a Real Estate bloke to handle a transaction that will net them about 2000 dollars worth of payment.

Not going to happen. As I can personally attest.

Re: “*snort* Coming from a very poor background, I can assure you that very, very few bondsmen will trouble themselves to assist you for a mere 300 dollars worth of bail.”

Really?

Here’s a quote from, and the link to, one of Seattle’s largest bail bondsmen:

“An alternative to cash bail is a surety bond....For this service, the defendant is charged a premium (typically 10% of the bail amount in Washington). For example, if the bail amount is $10,000.00, the premium charged is $1,000.00.”

And the link:

10% of $3,000 is $300.

And, according to your experience, very few bondsmen will do half an hour of paperwork to earn $300?

You have no idea how the criminal justice system works.
