Bail Bonds & Surety Defense
Bail Bondsman, Surety Companies, and Private Individuals who post bonds or cash bails on behalf of Defendants leave themselves open to potential monetary liability. If the Defendant fails to appear for a scheduled Court date, Court imposed program, or comply with any directions of the Court the bond may be placed in a forfeiture status and may eventually result in a Forfeiture Judgment. The Forfeiture Judgment could lead to a complete surrender of the bond, which may cost thousands of dollars and can even prevent a bondsman from issuing any bonds in the future. Essentially the judgment will suspend their license and halt their business all together. This could disastrous for any bondsman operating in the State of New Jersey.
