Pender County is a short drive up US-117 from our Wilmington office, and Burgaw's historic 1936 courthouse anchors a small-town legal system where the same magistrates and deputies see us regularly.
Pender County's highway network — I-40 and US-117 running through farmland — means we see plenty of DWI and reckless-driving charges from drivers passing through, not just locals. Burgaw's lighter booking volume usually means a faster turnaround than a busier county.
Only a District Court judge can set the first bond on a domestic violence charge, with a hold of up to 48 hours under NC law. In a small county like Pender, we work directly with the same courthouse staff case after case, which keeps the process from getting lost in paperwork.

An appearance bond guarantees a defendant returns for every court date at the historic Pender County Courthouse downtown. With a smaller docket than the coastal counties, appearance bonds here often move faster once paperwork clears.
Our A-rated surety backing lets Pender County families post a bond for a set, state-capped premium instead of the full cash amount — no rural surcharge, no small-town markup, the same rate we charge in Wilmington or anywhere else we work.
Pender County being smaller doesn't mean arrests wait for business hours. A licensed bondsman answers your call live, any hour, and we're on the road up US-117 within minutes of hanging up.
