Why should I hire an attorney instead of a bail bond company for a jail release?

The simple answer is cost and value. When you hire a bail bond company, you will typically pay 11% of the face value of the bond, keeping in mind that you still need to hire an attorney. None of the money you pay a bail bond company is returned to you.

When you hire the Peek and Toland Law Firm, you will pay approximately 9% of the face value of the bond and all of the money you pay toward your jail release will be credited toward your legal retainer. With the Peek and Toland Law Firm, you will have a respected law firm to secure your release from jail and provide your legal defense.

I have a warrant out for my arrest, what do I do?

The Peek and Toland Law Firm helps clients every day with outstanding warrants. The critical question is whether the warrant is for a new charge, a revocation of probation or a bond forfeiture because you failed to appear in court.

Regardless of your outstanding warrant situation, call the Peek and Toland Law Firm at (512) 318-2429 for immediate help. In many instances, attorneys with the Peek and Toland Law Firm can have your warrant lifted within 24 hours.
