Scott ConderConnie was an absolute pleasure to work with. I feel like she pulled some superhuman moves to make this happen because Miami County only allows you to bond out during hours the court is open.. I didn't think it was possible but she made it happen. I highly recommend calling Valerie Murray and Son Bail BondsPosted on Google

Tobi MauroThis was my first experience using a bail bonds company and I am eternally grateful for their help! My autistic son had been incarcerated for much longer than necessary because of some shifts in the court case and no other bail company could help me! I'm not exaggerating when I say my son would not be home today if it weren't for their assistance! Connie was the wonderful lady that came to my assistance! She really went above and beyond! I knew I was in competent hands from our first conversation! She was prompt, handled our situation in no time at all, and had my son out of jail in a timely manner! I felt cared for, not judged, and like I was actually receiving help for the first time since this started weeks ago! Thank you so much for what you do for families within our community! I will recommend this company to others and strongly suggest them if you find yourself or a loved one in this situation!
