FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) August 12, 2010 --Which days are the best days in the life of a bail bond agent? That would depend on the agent that you ask. Some would prefer the low key days of answering calls and sitting in court. For others, it is the adrenaline rush of having to go out into the field to track down those criminals who have skipped a court date that make the job exciting enough to keep doing.

Television reality shows have provided a glimpse into what it takes to find those who will do whatever it takes to remain elusive. Of course, not all bail bond agents and bounty hunters are 6’3” and covered in tattoos. Some look like the guy next door, but when someone skips bail, it’s time to turn into a superhero of sorts - minus the ability to fly.

BailZoom.com is a network of hundreds of such bail bond agents. These agents live and work in each of the 46 states that allow bail bonds, providing 24 hour assistance to those who need various types of bonds, including state bail bonds, federal bonds and immigration bonds.

Because bail bond agents are usually only licensed in one state, finding an agent, especially late at night or on a holiday, can be a bit time consuming. With BailZoom.com, just one toll free number will put callers in touch with an agent near them. This streamlining of the process makes it easier to bail someone out of jail, but it does not guarantee that none of the criminals will run when it comes to their court date.

When that happens, the agents must put down the phone and leave the accounting and other paperwork for another day and hit the streets. Some say the job of a bail agent is much more dangerous than that of a police officer.

“When you are a police officer, there is a chance that the person you are going to deal with is a criminal. When you are a bail bonds agent it is almost a guarantee that you will be dealing with a criminal. Not only are they criminals, but many are willing to do anything to avoid going with you,” said a Virginia police officer.

Kicking in doors, wrestling bad guys to the ground and dodging bullets are not everyday occurrences in the lives of most bail bond agents, but those moments will likely come, especially for those who write large bonds and bonds for serious offenses.

The bail bond agents in the BailZoom.com network write bonds for most offenses, even many class 1 felonies. BailZoom can also provide jail and inmate specific information. That means that in between providing a valuable service for those who are in trouble with the law, these agents, many who have more than 30 years of experience, must go from helpful agent to hunter, tracking down those who flee.

It is a boring and dangerous job, and most bail bond agents wouldn’t have it any other way.
