I SPENT DECADES WATCHING LAW FIRMS WASTE TIME GETTING BONDS. SO I BUILT A WAY TO STOP IT.

There are probably 100 things you’d rather do today than chase down a probate bond, and if you’re an attorney handling probate, estate or guardianship matters, there are probably 100 things you should be doing instead. You should be talking to clients, preparing for court, moving cases forward and practicing law.

Yet when a bond is required, somebody in your office has to stop what they’re doing and deal with it. For years, that has meant forms, phone calls, entering information you’ve already provided, waiting for someone to get back to you, checking the status, answering another question and waiting again. I’ve spent decades in the bond business watching this happen, and eventually, I decided there had to be a better way.

SO I BUILT ONE.

It started with a simple question: Why should getting a bond take this much of your time? Your client needs the bond. The court expects the bond. You need the bond so you can keep the case moving. Something that necessary shouldn’t become another job for you or your staff.

So we started looking at the entire process from your side of the desk. Where does your time get wasted? What information are you entering over and over again? What are you waiting for that you shouldn’t have to wait for? What can technology handle faster, and just as importantly, what should technology never replace?

I wasn’t interested in building another piece of software that gave you a login, eliminated the human beings and wished you good luck. I wanted to take the unnecessary work out of getting a bond without taking the experience, safeguards and people out of the process. That became DARREN™.

Recently, the methodology behind DARREN™ received a U.S. patent. I’m proud of that because it took a tremendous amount of work to build something genuinely different, and having that innovation recognized means something to me. But the patent itself isn’t the most important part of this story.

THE PATENT IS MINE. THE BENEFIT IS YOURS.

What matters is what DARREN™ can do for you and your staff the next time you need a bond. You can get an instant premium quote without waiting for somebody to call you back. Your firm information can be securely stored and automatically populated, so your staff isn’t entering the same information every time you need another bond. A bond request can be submitted in under two minutes, and you have access 24 hours a day, seven days a week, so your office doesn’t have to organize its schedule around ours.

Once you submit a completed bond request, I back it with my two-business-hour underwriting decision guarantee, and if the bond is approved, it can be issued immediately. That’s what technology should do for you. It should remove unnecessary steps, eliminate repetitive work, reduce waiting and make simple things simple.

But probate and guardianship aren’t always simple. Sometimes there’s a question. Sometimes there’s an unusual situation. Sometimes underwriting needs something else, and sometimes you need to talk to somebody who actually understands bonds. That’s why there are still real people behind DARREN™.

The goal was never to use technology to replace expertise. The goal was to use it to make that expertise easier and faster for you to access. Technology handles the work technology should do, while my team handles the work only experienced people can do. That distinction was important to me when we built DARREN™, and it still is today.

I DIDN’T PATENT DARREN™ SO I COULD SELL YOU SOFTWARE.

In fact, I’m not selling it to you at all. There’s no software to buy, no subscription to add to your overhead and no additional fee for access. DARREN™ is free for you and your staff to use because after spending decades helping attorneys get the bonds their clients need, I didn’t build DARREN™ because the world needed another piece of software.

I built it because you deserved a better way to get a bond. Now we have one, and the next time you need a probate or guardianship bond, I’d like you to put it to work and see for yourself how much easier the process can be.
