In yet another instance of allegedly breaking the law to win new new business, a California bail bondsman has been arrested for a referral scheme aimed at attorneys. In California it is illegal for bail bondsmen and attorneys to refer clients to one another.
The owner of Respect Bail Bonds, Ronald Lee Brockway, was charged by for allegedly offering criminal defense lawyers monetary compensation for client referrals. In addition, the bail bondsman was accused of referring clients to criminal defense attorneys.
He could face over three years in jail if convicted on the two felony counts of violating bail license regulations.
