3-D Bail Bonds is a Hartford bail bond agency, known by many generations as the “Hartford Bonds people”. This bail bonding company was founded in 1997 in Hartford, Connecticut. One of their first bail bond offices was located on Albany Avenue in Hartford. Two decades later, they are one of the largest CT bail bond retailers in the state.

The Hartford Bail Bonds Company – The Beginnings

3-D’s name was chosen using each owner’s first initial. The founders, Don, a father, Dan, a son, and Drew, a friend, ventured in the Connecticut bail bonds industry back when there were only a few Hartford bail bond agencies. At the beginnings of 3-D Bail Bonds, the owners themselves managed files, posted bail, attended court, called for payments and for a while had to find their own skips.

Finding skips was the one task they had to learn fast, since their very first “bond” ended up being a forfeiture. Dan and Drew still talk about this forfeiture as if it happened yesterday. They, of course, joke about it now, but back then, this experience taught them the need for good information.

Donald Toner, one of 3-D Bail Bonds founders, passed away in 2011. Don’s passing left a broken heart at the company. His family, friends, staff, and everyone who knew him was greatly affected by his sudden passing. His legacy and entrepreneurial spirit had been greatly missed since then.

Dan and Drew continued to grow their bail business statewide, adding more staff to cover towns in Fairfield and New Haven County. The company was thriving, employing about 45 agents at some point. Many young professionals started their careers at this local Hartford bail bond agency.

Marketing in the early 2000s for 3-D Bail Bonds, as Dan recalls, “the bigger the ad, the more calls you would get”. They had the Hartford agent for the Yellow pages listing on speed dial. As business owners, they couldn’t miss the spot on the newly updated book for the upcoming year.

Meanwhile, Drew was very interested in web stuff and managed to work a very basic website in some old HTML code that no longer exists, or so they were told. That’s in a few words the quick story of their 3dbailbonds.com website and how it all started.

Today with professional help, talented staff, and plenty of brainstorming they keep up with their online presence on social media, Google and local directories. This CT Bail Bonds agency offers high-tech services including online pre-approvals, online payments, online bail paperwork and more.

Prison Release and Public Safety Keys to Success

Bail agents in Connecticut not only guarantee the prison release of someone on bail, they also guarantee their appearance in court. If the person out on bail fails to appear in court, 3-D Bail Bonds also fails. The system only works while bail bonds companies bring the principal back to court to face trial. “It comes down to accountability and public safety”, bondsman Drew says.

The Connecticut bail bonds industry like any other industry has changed over the years. As a company, the owners managed to keep up with new legislation and continue to fight for reasonable bail. Currently, they are active members of the Bail Association of Connecticut (BAC) and the Professional Bail Agents of the United States (PBUS). Considered experts in the bail industry, 3-D Bail Bonds, Inc cares about their reputation and takes pride when serving the local community.

When it comes to bail laws and bail processing, oftentimes they’re requested to be consulted by many legal entities, including the media and research studies. Many may know what bail is and how they work, however, there is a fine line within the law that only bail experts with experience may be able to define and explain. As Drew adds, “Bail laws are changing in the state and at the national level, we need to educate Connecticut residents about their options and what’s at stake”.

For instance, with the highly publicized Dulos case, Hartford Bail Bond agency, 3-D Bail Bonds was consulted about the bail bonds process and the amount of money needed for the “6 Million bond”. WTNH News 8 requested an interview to discuss this topic with bail bondsman Drew. See the interview here.

Giving back to the community is one of the activities 3-D Bail Bonds in Hartford enjoys the most. Dan and Drew and the staff at the Hartford, New London and New Britain offices had been hosting toy drives and sponsoring local sports teams for many years. The “12 Days of Christmas” for many years was one of the most anticipated events by Facebook fans.

Every Christmas season, this bail company with headquarters in Hartford CT would host twelve days of giveaways honoring the holiday season. At the same time, Drew, the owner, would create his own holiday version of popular songs and share them on Facebook. You can find these videos on their YouTube channel and the website.
