I've heard that Bondsmen cannot call themselves Fugitive Recovery Agents, is this true ? What can they be called then, and how can their company name include "Fugitive Recovery Agency" ?
In the State of Ohio you cannot use any words as Fugitive, Bail Enforcement, or Bounty Hunter.
Once you get your license, you will be a Surety Bail Bonds Agent, also known as a Officer of the Court. That's what our title is. When you go to a house to pick up your forfeiture, you notify the police department that your at address where your forfeiture is, then knock on the door an say " Bail Bond Agent or Officer of the Court". That's it, nothing eles.

Also, is Bail Yes (
http://bailyes.com/ ) a good quality company ? The website says "Choose from fully liable contracts to joint partnership and no liable contracts with BUF accounts that you the agent manages." What would you recommend to a new bondsman ?
I don't know to much about this company, But I do have a link with them. When you get your license, check around with ALL bail bond company's to see what they offer. Don't just jump into the first company. Explore a little bit with every company. Also would say to work with a company for about two years before you get on your own. I see alot of people get into this business and fail within six months on their own. It takes time.....
I am an aspiring Bondsman in Cleveland, Ohio. I plan to get my license this summer then work for a bail company for a year or two then start something of my own.
