BOND GIRL at LAX SUPERIOR COURT

Yesterday I had a client go to LAX court in custody from Beverly Hills Jail. People in custody are always heard last. In court, as apposed to jail, a bail bondsman has until 3:30 pm to post a bond for their client. I really needed to make this 3:30 deadline because if not, my client would make the Sherrifs bus to Los Angeles County Jail. Once my client hits that bus... Oh then we have to wait till he is booked into LACJ. This takes 10-13 hours. I'd have to be calling all night till I got clearance. 
My clients case was heard at 2:45 pm. We were nervous about the Public Defender. She was awful, she was like an angry Mom. 
Things went surprisingly well. I told the PD, that my client had strong ties to the community, that my client had over 15 years in the same industry & 10 years of his own business in the same location. This insures the judge that my client is not a flight risk, & suggests that they are not a threat to the community. That's what makes a defendant a desirable candidate for bail or not. The court is looking for two things: one is a flight risk, & the other factor is if the person is a danger to society. I got his bond in without a hitch. My client was happy & home by dinner. He had lost 5 days of his usual routine. Now he can get back to work. He's happy, & that makes me happy. Bail bonds is our constitutional right! Stay ready & don't get caught slippin!
