Patrick VaughnPhenomenal! Knowing nearly nothing about how to bail someone out of jail, I was recommended to use Murray and Son, and I am so thankful I did. Being in another state from the person who was jailed, I was walked through every step of the paperwork and payment over the phone. I was able to get the bond paid within a couple hours and have my loved one released that day. Constant communication through the whole ordeal, every question answered, and even continued follow up after payment and waiting for release. I greatly appreciate and recommend Murray and Son, they are extremely professional while also being extremely personable.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
