Every once in a while, bail bonds agents, like those who are employed at All American Bail Bonds in Santa Clarita, have to go to a small claims court.
“In a small claims court, disputes are resolved quickly and inexpensively, “ said Inessa Chavez, vice president of All American Bail Bonds in Santa Clarita. “ Rules are more simple and the court is more informal.”
Most of the time, attorneys are not allowed in a small claims court and claim disputes are limited to $5,000 and under, according to the California Bail Education textbook.
“Bail bonds businesses like, All American Bail Bonds in Santa Clarita, can use small claims courts to collect money from a client if they have a small bail bond but most of the time bail bonds businesses don’t really use small claims courts. “
Small claims courts charge a fee as well. That fee often depends on the amount of funds that are being claimed, according to the textbook. Small claims courts can order defendants to do something as long as money is involved.
“If a small claims court is necessary for you, it can be a little tricky and time consuming,” Chavez said. “You have to prepare for the hearing, gather evidence, meet the witnesses and attend the hearing in person.”
