Business Advice
Do you have a question about marketing or record keeping? Are you considering hiring employees?  Are you ready to open a store front?

1-800-FOR -BAIL is an example of our efforts to help our agents. Lexington National secured for its agents the first right to license 1-800-FOR-BAIL in their territories. 1-800-FOR-BAIL is a toll-free novelty number that was created by marketing guru Steve Rohrlick. (To learn more about the program, check out America's Network of Bail Bond Agents). Many Lexington National agents jumped at the opportunity and are now seeing their businesses grow.

Examples of legal assistance provided by Lexington National to its agents:


"A Minnesota judge forfeited a $50,000 bail bond because the defendant violated a supplemental condition of the bond by removing his GPS ankle bracelet. Mark researched the state laws and provided my lawyer the information he needed to reverse the forfeiture."
-Ron Blume, Minnesota
"I posted a $10,000 bail bond. After the defendant was arrested, the judge raised the bail to $12,000. Another surety posted a $2,000 bond and the defendant was released. When the defendant failed to appear, the judge forfeited our $10,000 bond. We called Lexington National for help. Mark researched ‘bond stacking' in all 50 states and sent us all the cases on point. We gave these to our lawyer, which saved us time and money."
