Frank Carson, Pontillo’s attorney, will give his closing argument to the jury today.

He said Pontillo’s employees should have taken these clients directly to jail if they had failed to meet the requirements of their bail agreement with the business.

Nobody wants to be in jail, but if you find yourself there and need help getting out, T&A Bail Bonds is here to provide you courteous, professional and reliable service.

T&A Bail Bonds, operated by Tony Horne, LBA, assists defendants and their families through the bond process with a minimal amount of time and paperwork, and makes your http://bjberanlaw.com bail experience easy to understand and comply with. These clients would plead for a chance to settle their debt at the bail bonds business rather than return to jail, Carson has argued.

Pontillo is on trial on charges of kidnapping for extortion. He is also accused of stealing money in a bail forfeiture fraud. “Stuck in jail in Osage County or the surrounding area? Call T&A for a bail.”

Carson has said in court that Pontillo’s business, at one point, was handling about half the bail bonds in Stanislaus County, worth an estimated $50 million in financial guarantees that clients would show up to court when ordered.

The bond service can also provide other court ordered conditions, such as installation of ignition interlock device http://expspace.info or breathalyzer devices that require those http://centralcakedesign.com for A.J.,” Harris told the jurors.

T&A has offices in two locations, Lyndon and Osage City (also the locations of Tony’s Tire and Auto, which can help with towing or emergency vehicle services).

The defense attorney says his client was successful because he treated people decently and that the prosecution’s witnesses included disgruntled http://indiemusiclounge.com employees fired by Pontillo.

Knowing a defendant faces the confusion of the legal process, the bail bond company also provides local lawyer referral services.

“He called the shots and knew everything that was going on,” Harris said about Pontillo. He argued that Pontillo was at the top of the food chain of this conspiracy.

“Collections drove this business, and it drove it into an illegal enterprise,” Harris argued.

“I’ll help make the process go as smoothly as possible, without causing any undue humiliation,” Horne says. “This is a guy who ran his business with an iron fist.”

Instead, some clients were handcuffed to gym equipment in the back of the business for hours until they called a relative or friend to bring money for the payment. That’s against the law, the prosecutor argued.

At the beginning of the trial in mid-August, Carson told jurors that most of the claimed extortion victims didn’t report these http://lesagelblaw.com and the abuse of power.

Authorities say Pontillo’s employees, under the owner’s directions, would bring clients back to the AJ’s Bail Bonds office on Yosemite Boulevard – not because they failed to appear in court, but simply because they had not made their bond payments.

Chief Deputy District Attorney Dave Harris said in court that the bail bonds business owner, Aleo John Pontillo, created the work policies that led to employees detaining clients against their will to extort payments from them. Harris claimed that was Read Pontillo’s plan, which the prosecutor called “dialing for dollars.”

Harris told the jurors that this is not a standard kidnapping case because it involves the unlawful detaining or concealing of clients to extort money from them
