Read More- Misty MHIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! John H. & Karen G. were QUICK && ON POINT!! Very professional! Very helpful! John was WILLING to even meet me on a holiday (Easter). Was willing to help and work with me when I said I didn’t have the full 10% from the start. John had checked in with me a few times throughout the 3-4 days I was going back and forth, trying to get the money together. I had made it more stressful and more of a headache for John & Karen than it should have been but the whole time throughout it all John & Karen were both very respectful and patient with me. John was quick with posting the bond!! The location was easy to find and get to. I was able to reach them at anytime of the day, which was very convenient!! Very quick with responding, helping walk through the process, how it happens and what is expected to happen next. Thank you John & Karen for all of your hard work, dedication && for your services && help! I truly appreciate the both of you and all you’ve done and have helped me...
- Scott SJon Handler is by far the best bondsman this county has ever had. I been bonded out twice and there's no one that compares to his service. Not even a hundred years ago. I swear he's the best. Probably in the country! I thank you for not only helping me but helping my family to get me out. With out you I would probably would've coped out and had a couple extra charges just cause the state stay isn't worth my proven innocents. Best bondsman in the world....I swear to god!
- wendy fBefore getting in touch with John, I had called two other Bondsmen.. One said he would call me back and never did, the other one put me on hold for 30 minutes (before I hung up). These guys answered immediately and I was in their office within a half an hour. The young lady that helped me (Hannah), was very sweet and professional with me. This was the first experience I had ever had with a bondsman.. so I appreciated how easy they made it for me.
