About Amistad Bail Bonds
Amistad Bail Bonds was founded in Raleigh, North Carolina, in 2009 with a simple purpose: make the bail bond process easier for families to understand when someone they care about has been arrested.
Founder Paul Nello Romero still leads Amistad today, working with licensed bail agents who help families across North Carolina.

OUR STORY
How Amistad Got Started
Seeing the Process From the Family's Side
Before starting Amistad, Paul had helped friends and family navigate bail bonds and the local release process. He saw how quickly an arrest could leave people with questions about the bond, the paperwork, the cost, and what needed to happen next.
He also saw how difficult the process could be for families who were more comfortable speaking Spanish.
Amistad Bail Bonds Is Born
Paul founded Amistad Bail Bonds in Raleigh to help families navigate the bail bond process in both English and Spanish.
From the beginning, the goal was to explain the process clearly, help families understand what they were signing, and handle each bond responsibly.
Helping Families Beyond Raleigh
What started in Raleigh grew to serve families in communities throughout North Carolina.
Today, Amistad helps families with arrests throughout North Carolina.

Technology has changed how much of the paperwork and communication can be handled, but the questions families ask are often the same:
- What does the bond mean?
- How much will it cost?
- What do I need to sign?
- What happens next?
Our job is to make those parts easier to understand.
HOW WE WORK
What You Can Expect From Amistad
Clear Costs Before You Decide
We explain the bond cost, payment requirements, and any collateral that may be required before you move forward.
Understand What You're Signing
A bail bond creates responsibilities for the defendant and, in many cases, the person signing for the bond. We explain the documents and answer questions before they are signed.
Help With the Paperwork
Once you decide to move forward, our team prepares the required bond documents and coordinates the bail bond portion of the release process.
Questions After Release
Posting the bond is not always the end of the relationship. If you have questions later about the bond agreement, payments, collateral, or responsibilities connected to the bond, you can contact our team.

TRANSPARENCY
Our Role in the Bail Process
Understanding who does what can make the process much less confusing.
Judicial Official
A judicial official determines the conditions of pretrial release. Depending on the case and stage of the process, that official may be a magistrate or judge.
Amistad Bail Bonds
When a bond can be handled through a bail bondsman, Amistad can explain the cost and requirements, complete the bail bond paperwork, and post the bond if the application is approved.
Amistad does not decide the bond amount, change court-ordered conditions, or control how long a detention facility takes to complete the release.
Criminal Defense Attorney
An attorney handles the legal side of the case, including legal advice about charges, court hearings, defense strategy, or requests to change release conditions.
Amistad Bail Bonds is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice.
