Client Success Story

Philadelphia court officials launched a campaign last year to go after $1 billion in bail money forfeited by defendants who skipped trial, according to a Philadelphia Inquirer article. Peter L. Johnston, bail bonds attorney, represented a disabled Philadelphia resident who owed $3,000 in bail money to Philadelphia Courts.

Peter negotiated with the court and, as a result, the client who is on a fixed income has been put on an affordable payment plan where he pays a much smaller monthly fee. Subsequently, the client has avoided being placed in collection. Click here for information on Philly’s ambitious attempt to collect back-due bail money.
