THE BAIL BONDING PROCESS
Once a person is arrested, they must be booked. This process may take as little as forty-five minutes to several hours. Once a judge sets the amount of the bond, the person also known as the defendant, may post bail and be released until an arraignment hearing date is set. A bond is designed to guarantee said defendant’s appearance in court. The bonding company guarantees to the court that they will pay the total amount of the bond should the defendant fail to appear for court.
When posting a bond with a bonding company, a cosigner or indemnitor is required. A cosigner or indemnitor which is often times a friend or relative, will sign a contract… READ MORE >

Lynda & Jesse saved me after an incredibly stressful day. I drove 3 hours to get some paperwork notarized and upon my arrival in Atlanta the notary that was supposed to meet me seemingly bailed and didn't answer her phone. I called around to see if anyone would possibly be able to help on last minutes notice on a holiday of all times. Lynda and Jesse were not only incredibly kind to assist us, Lynda even stayed past her intended hours, but they made a very painful and stressful situation just a little bit easier to deal with, they were incredibly kind and professional and the location is beautiful and clean. I highly suggest them and am forever grateful for the kindness.read more

Ryan went above and beyond to resolve a situation pertaining to Linda who works there. She is the rudest person that I have ever encountered especially considering the fact she's supposed to providing customer service. That low life literally mocked me and continuously hung up on me which I will not remove from my review as everyone should know not to deal with her. However the owners and general managers of the company itself are absolutely extraordinary both in customer service and resolving issues. Thank you so much Ryan for all your help. Hopefully you all remove the woman that works there so she no longer poorly represents your company. I am still absolutely amazed that the GM reached out to me on his personal cell phone in order for us to all have a fast and quick resolution in regard to a friends older bond I had consigned. Thank you once again! read more

HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! I could not have asked for better treatment. I have never been through this experience before so I was clueless as to what to expect. They walked me through every step I needed to do, and what to expect. They communicated constantly with my friends and family through every step of the process, which brought such comfort to them. The individual attention and compassion for my situation far exceeded my expectation.read more

Janae literally came through with the answers! All of the other bail bondsmen had no souls and for a petty charge at that! She was genuine and as long as I held up my end of the bargain she did what she needed for me. I am thankful 2nd chance has her in their company! If you need them make sure to ask for JANAE trust me!read more

It is common for people to not know what to expect regarding bail bonds until they or a loved one is arrested.

I would absolutely recommend that anybody needing to use a Bonding Company call A 2nd Chance first. Jesse was extremely knowledgeable, very understanding and compassionate, and went out of his way to help when I needed to bond my husband out of jail. There was absolutely no judgement. We were never talked down to or treated as if we were 2nd class because we were dealing with this situation. I hope that I never have to see him again but if I ever have to use a Bonding Company he is definitely the first person I will call.read more

The young lady that assisted us last night was really friendly and pleasant. But once we paid, we were told to go and wait at the jail visitor area & that she had to go to the Marietta jail for some reason and then that she would meet us there. We waited over an hr and a half before she showed up at the visitor center. She handed off her paperwork and tried to leave without giving us an update, we literally had to chase her outside to see what the next step was and we were told that she was in processing and that she would be released shortly. We continued to wait an additional 3HRS! before she was actually released. Not sure what the hold up was but someone dropped the ball and the communication was not there at all.read more

I wish I could give them negative stars !! Don’t believe anything you read on their website !! They do not care and will not help you if you dont own a home that’s a lie !! My wife was arrested on a charge we didn’t know she even had and when I called these clowns and explained my situation they said hey would help me. You see I’m a carpenter and I get paid as a 1099 so I told them all I had for proof of income was my check they said “ no problem come on in. I explained to them that was all the proof I had and that I would bring it to them but I would have to cash it to post bail for my wife. I also told them we have a 20 month old daughter and no family that lives here to help us with this. They said they understood and I should come down and they would help me, BUUUT when I got there this smug little punk of a bondsman Jesse ( name like the girl he is) was immediately giving me the sense that they wouldn’t be helping me. I explained the situation he took all my info I filled out his paperwork and then said I was running to the bank to cash the check so I could pay their fee. When I returned I came in happy that I was going to get my wife out ( first time offender of anything) and he said oh my boss said he won’t do it when I asked why he said he said No I then asked him to please call him and let me please speak to him that I was missing work and if my wife didn’t get out I would not be able to work and provide for my family HE SAID NO. I pleaded with him to help me and I explained that the only proof of income I had was now gone because I had to cash it and now I wouldn’t be able to call another bondsman to help without it he smirked and said I don’t know what to say. I said please who will watch our daughter when I at work he said YOU DO IT ???!! How CAN I MORON I HAVE TO WORK ( although I didn’t call him any names) he then told me to leave his premises and I told him he was a real piece of work to let me do that and tell my wife I had it taken care of and thanks a lot I said I hope it happens to him one day although I doubt he is the kind of man who would ever have a child cause that would involve having a relationship with a woman and most woman do t linked weasels like him!!! SO TALE MY ADVICE DONT USE THEM THST STIRY ABOUT THE OWNER CARING IS A JOKE !! They won’t help you unless you have money and if you have money you don’t need these people !!! People who really care would help a regular working man get his wife out so she can be with her kid and he can work so they would be ok. That start is fake because they don’t try to help anyone get a second chance !!! I hope Jesse reads this thanks a lot my wife is still in jail because I have no proof!!! Please don’t use this company they are some of the predators that don’t help people and he threatened to have me arrested when I got bad SNITCH ?!!! As a bondsman that figures !!! Take my advice and use someone else !!!!! All the reviews that make them seem so amazing and helpful are all fake there were a few other people that were having issues with them too they don’t care about helping anyone get a 2nd chance !!!!!!read more

DANIEL’S 2ND CHANCE STORY
In the late 1990s, when Daniel Matalon was a teenager, he began a drug habit that could have destroyed his life. Instead, after a succession of failed treatment attempts, he found a recovery center that worked—and in the process discovered his entrepreneurial spirit.
That spirit, along with business mentoring from a family friend, enabled Matalon to turn his life completely around. Today, instead of using drugs, he helps substance abusers and others who violate the law through his company, A 2nd Chance Bail Bonds.
