Sometimes bail bonds agents, like those who work at All American Bail Bonds in Santa Clarita, have to take their cases to small claims courts.

“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.”

Attorneys are usually not allowed in a small claims court, according to the California Bail Education textbook. Claim disputes are limited to being up to $5,000.

“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. ”

The small claims courts charge a fee as well, according to the textbook.  That fee depends on the amount of funds being claimed.

Small claims courts can also order a defendant to do something as long as money is involved, according to the textbook.

“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.”

For more information about small claims courts and how they compare to civil court, go to the website.

“Sometimes settling a dispute on your own is best,” Chavez said. “We always try to settle disputes in a calm and caring way.”
