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 'Dbond 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."
