Who We Are

ACME BAIL BONDS is a bail bonds business originally formed in 1989 by Scott J Esparza, with a deliberate selection of a name that was not invasive; and one that would not boisterously announce the company as a bail bond agency. The name selected was going to be easy to remember, as well. ACME was chosen as an easily identifiable name for a bail bond agent. Discretion was at the heart of the business model and the directive was consideration of one's privacy. ACME's decision was not to announce or expose a person's difficult or embarrassing situation to friends, family members or employers with return phone calls announcing the bail bondsman or mailings that would solidify an embarrassing event.

After 33 years in the bail bonds business, the landscape has changed. Now bail bond companies deploy swarms of their bail bondsmen or promo guys into the streets vying for your business by dragging you into their offices. They move the street mongers to the front of the jail steps, or position them at swap meets handing out T-shirts, key chains and other jail-themed trinkets. However, the internet has begun to replace the street marketers and the yellow pages with scores of YouTube videos from every bail bond company pitching these words: biggest, best, better and beyond with strategies that range from fear-driven themes to laughable story lines about the people who were dumb-founded when the police re-arrested them for a failure-to-appear in court. Who would you chose? Which bail bondsman would do the best job for you based on these marketing tactics?

Is humor or fear the driving factor when choosing a bail bond agent? How about experience? What really counts is a seasoned bail bondsman directing each bail bond agent in the arrangement and completion of each bond. No matter what type or monetary value your bail bond may be, ACME BAIL BONDS have a bail bondsman who oversees each and every bail bond written. We are the expert in this field. After 33 years as a bail bond company, we know the types of cases, and are able to determine what can or cannot be accomplished when presented a bond. Most of all, we are the expert when it comes to the larger bail bonds. Most novice bail companies cannot write these larger bail bonds or they may have to call-in for approvals or another option for these smaller bail bond companies is to partner with another, more seasoned bail bond company.

Meanwhile, your friend or family member sits in jail waiting for an answer, but moreover, this person is patiently waiting to be released. Being professional, ethical and expert bail bond agents, Acme Bail Bonds has the maximum capability, so bonds can be written fast, without a series of approval calls. This is especially important when it comes to writing large bail bonds. We would be classified as an authority that far-exceeds expert status.

Over the years in this industry, Acme Bail Bonds has gathered a vast knowledge and understanding of bail and criminal law, as well as a deep understanding of the court system. Underwriting large bonds of $100,000 to $10,000,000 requires this type of experience. The careful thought and complexity when writing these bail bonds, requires that every bond written by a bail bond agent, not only must pass company standards and ratios, but the court as well. The court must also understand the logic and value of the cash, collateral and status of the case within the justice system before a bail bond is accepted by the court, and the person is ultimately released.

ACME Bail Bonds is unique in this category. When a bail bond agent prepares a bond, gathering the cash, getting the property and signers to agree to the terms and conditions of a bail bond is a small fraction of writing large bail bonds. The courts become a bigger issue for a bail bondsman, where understanding all the implications and consequences of such a task is where ACME excels. ACME is always prepared to produce a logical and well thought- out presentation to the courts ensuring the successful release of a person whose family, as well as the defendant, is burdened with a large bail bond.

Do not think for a minute the smaller bonds are not as difficult and don't count. These bail bonds require equal thought and attention, as well. Each bail bond, each case and each person is different. Our bail bond agents understand the dynamics of every situation and give complete care and consideration to everyone - that's where we differ from the pack.

As you read this profile of our bail bond company, you are evaluating our qualities and assessing your options over all bail companies available to you.
