YOUR CLIENT NEEDS A BOND FAST. BUT FAST DOESN’T MATTER IF IT’S WRONG.

When a court requires your client to obtain a bond, you probably aren’t hoping the process takes a few extra days. You want to get it handled, get your client what they need and keep the matter moving.

I understand that. In fact, I’ve spent a significant part of my career figuring out how to make the bonding process faster for attorneys and their staffs. But there’s something I believe even more strongly: speed is only valuable when the bond is handled correctly.

Getting the wrong answer faster doesn’t help you. Cutting corners to shave time off the process doesn’t help your client. And technology that moves quickly but leaves you wondering whether everything was handled properly hasn’t really solved your problem.

YOU SHOULDN’T HAVE TO CHOOSE BETWEEN FAST AND RIGHT.

For decades, my team and I have had the same basic responsibility when an attorney comes to us for a bond. We need to make sure the right bond gets to the right attorney with the right information.

That requires checks, safeguards and due process. Those things matter because probate and guardianship cases involve real people, real assets and real legal responsibilities. The bond isn’t simply another piece of paperwork to push through as quickly as possible.

At the same time, there’s no reason those safeguards should create unnecessary work for you. There’s no prize for making a process slower than it needs to be, especially when your staff is spending valuable time waiting, following up or repeatedly providing information that could have been handled more efficiently.

That created an interesting challenge for us: How do we make bonding dramatically easier and faster without sacrificing the things that need to be done right?

AUTOMATE THE FRICTION. NOT THE EXPERTISE.

That idea became an important part of how we built DARREN™.

There are plenty of things technology can do exceptionally well. It can securely store your firm information so you don’t have to enter it every time you need another bond. It can provide an instant premium quote instead of making you wait for a callback. It can allow you to submit a completed bond request in under two minutes and give you 24/7 access so you can start the process when it works for you.

Those are exactly the kinds of tasks technology should handle because automating them removes unnecessary work without removing anything valuable from the process.

But there are other things I don’t want technology deciding on its own. Sometimes a bond request involves circumstances that require experience, judgment or a conversation with someone who understands what’s happening. When that occurs, you shouldn’t be left fighting your way through a piece of software trying to figure out what to do next.

That’s why DARREN™ has real people behind it.

SPEED SHOULD COME FROM A BETTER PROCESS.

There’s an important difference between moving fast because you skipped steps and moving fast because you eliminated unnecessary ones.

We’re interested in the second kind.

When you submit a completed request through DARREN™, I give you my two-business-hour underwriting decision guarantee. If the bond is approved, it can be issued immediately.

We can make that commitment because the process was designed for efficiency from the beginning. The objective isn’t to rush the parts that matter. It’s to stop wasting time on the parts that don’t.

For you, that means less waiting and less uncertainty without giving up the safeguards and support you expect when you entrust a bond to us.

THE BEST TECHNOLOGY SHOULD MAKE THE PEOPLE BEHIND IT BETTER.

There’s a lot of talk today about technology replacing people. That was never the goal with DARREN™.

I wanted technology to remove repetitive work so my team could spend its time doing what experienced bond professionals are actually needed to do. And I wanted it to remove repetitive work from your side so you and your staff could spend more time doing the work your clients actually hired you to do.

That’s the balance we were after: technology where technology makes the process better and experienced people where experienced people make the process better.

Because when your client needs a probate or guardianship bond, you shouldn’t have to decide whether you want it handled quickly or handled correctly.

You should expect both.

The next time you need a bond, give us the opportunity to show you what that looks like.
