Insuring Today's Professional

Paragon Underwriters, Inc. has the experience and service in meeting the special bonding requirements of the legal profession. In today’s complex society, there’s an increased need for court bonds. Court actions and legal requirements can alter the normal course of business for corporations and individuals.

Attachment Bond (Plaintiff's) - Many times in disputes the plaintiff will attach disputed property or assets of the defendant to prevent them from disposing of them during lititgation. The assets are usually held in custody of the court until the case is settled. This bond indemnifies the defendant against loss or damages determined by the court from the plaintiff attaching the property.

Cost Bond (Plaintiff's) - The cost bond guarantees payment of court costs, such as fees to the clerk of courts, etc.  For plaintiff it could be required if they do not maintain an office or if they are a non-resident of the state.

Cost on Appeal (Plaintiff's) - Same as the above cost bond; difference here is a bond can be required if the plaintiff wants to have his/her case reheard in the appellate court.

Indemnity To Sheriff Bond - If a Sheriff is called upon to execute a writ for the seizure of property, he/she may require a bond.  The bond indemnifies the Sheriff against claims resulting from damages to a party's property in the event of an invalid seizure.

Injunction Bond/ TRO (Plaintiff's) - An injunction, sometimes called a Temporary Restraining Order (TRO), is a judicial order issued by a court to the plaintiff whereby the defendant is required to do or refrain from doing a particular thing until the issue is decided in court.  The bond indemnifies the defendant against damages and costs if the court rules in their favor.

Garnishment Bond (Plaintiff's) - Similar to the Attachment Bond for Plaintiffs - difference being that the property of the defendant is in the hands of a third party - or money owed by a third party to the defendant may be seized under a writ of attachement.  The third party is known as garnishee or garnishee-defendant.  In order to obtain the writ of garnishment, the plaintiff is required to give bond to the same effect as that required to secure the writ of attachement.

Replevin Bond (Plaintiff's) - Replevin (also known as claim and recovery) is an action to recover posession of specific articles of personal property.  The Replevin bond, which the plaintiff is required to furnish, is conditioned for the return of property, if return is ordered, and for the payment of all costs and damages adjudged to the defendant.
