One member’s son got arrested. The mother posted the entire $1,000 cash bond. After the trial the mother waited weeks and only got $750.00 back, the rest of the bail money, went to a recovery agent who charged $250.00 in fees. Can you do business with the court directly and avoid the recovery agent?? Secondly if you cannot afford the entire bond and are charge 10% fee by the bondsmen, is the recovery agent also involved with fees.
