Topo Padilla and his father Greg Sr. opened the family bail bond business in 1979. Together they grew the business to be one of the largest bail bond agencies in California. After 20 successful years in business, they sold the company to a large corporation. After five years of working in the corporate world, they came to realize they were not able to maintain and manage the personal relationships with their clients and the legal community.

In February 2004, Mr. Padilla and his father re-opened their bail bond business under Greg Padilla Bail Bonds. Once again they provide the most comprehensive and professional bail bond service in the state. The company is committed to respectfully assisting those who find themselves incarcerated. Clients can rely on the professional and capable handling of their particular case.

Before becoming a bail bond agent, I was a Corrections Officer. I started writing bail in 2005 in Galion Ohio.   As a General Agent I have employed five agents who have helped me succeed in obtaining a 100% capture rate over the years. 

Several years ago, I was nominated Bail Agent of the year for the PBUS by Beth Chapman who dedicated her life to bail and was President of the PBUS at the time.  Beth became a close friend, not just a mentor, and is dearly missed by many.

For fun I created and manufactured a board game designed around the bail industry, Jail or Bail – The Board Game which is sold on Amazon.  I have shipped the game both nationwide and internationally.

As the Ohio Director, I will strive to be the best I can be for this great organization and to assist in the growth and success of the PBUS.  Thank you for this opportunity to make a difference.
