CDLA is pleased to announce a new Bronze Sponsor: Premier Bail Bonds.
At Premiere Bail Bonds, we take great pride in our distinctive boutique-style approach, exclusively tailored to meet the needs of the defense community. A testament to our credibility is that over 90 percent of our clientele comes directly from attorney referrals, affirming the solid, respectable, and trusted reputation we have cultivated since our establishment in 1995.
Unlike conventional bail bond businesses, we eschew traditional advertising channels such as television, neon signs, or jail ads. Our growth is not measured in the sheer volume of clients, but rather in the commitment to delivering unparalleled service quality. This commitment is the cornerstone that prompts attorneys to consistently choose us as their primary bail referral partner.
Attorneys recognize that referring a client to a bail bondsman is a direct extension of their firm's representation. From responsiveness and industry expertise to the subtleties of our company's name and logo on business cards, every detail matters in the client's perception. When you engage with us, you're assured of direct communication with the bail agent who answers your client's call, handles their case issues, and ensures a seamless process from initiation to resolution. Unlike call centers or inexperienced staff, our clients benefit from the personalized attention of a seasoned professional throughout.
Our deliberate choice to forego advertising in jails shields us from the influx of hundreds of calls from inmates seeking quick bail solutions. This deliberate approach enables us to dedicate time to ensuring your client’s needs and that individual referral is handled appropriately.
Our pricing not only competes favorably with industry standards but mirrors the quality of service encapsulated in our name—Premiere.
In summary, Premiere Bail Bonds is not just a service provider; we are a trusted ally for defense attorneys seeking distinction in bail services. Our commitment to personalized, high-quality service, innovative solutions, and a reputation built on trust and respect makes us the premiere choice in the bail bond landscape.

SCAM ALERT!
CDLA members have received many complaints from clients that some companies are practicing law without a license and that the advice provided to prospective clients is misleading or wrong. These firms are very aggressive in soliciting clients. They often “promise” or “guarantee” a positive resolution of their DUI issue – for a fee, of course.
