Contrary to popular belief, understanding the bail bond process is quite simple. Of course there is going to be a fair share of legal print, but overall, it is very understandable. We will go over the basics right now for you.

Question: What is a bail bond for?
Answer: A bail bond is a written promise that the defendant will pay a fixed amount of money for his or her release from jail. The fixed amount in California will be 10% of the full bail amount.

Question: Does the 10% need to be paid up front before the defendant can be released?
Answer: No. The bail bond company will calculate a workable payment plan; the defendant will be released from jail and following that, payments on the bail bond will continue to be made.

Question: What are the conditions of a bail bond?
Answer: The defendant is required to show up for all court dates. If the court has additional mandates, like attending counseling, staying away from someone or someplace, and not leaving the state, for example, the defendant will need to abide by those as well.

Question: What if the defendant does not obey those rules?
Answer: The bail bond will be revoked and the defendant will be taken back into custody. In addition, the full bail amount may need to be paid off.

Question: Is the money refundable at the end of the trial if my loved one obeyed all of his or her orders?
Answer: No, think of the fixed price for the bail bond as a fee for the bail bonds services. However, most people use bail bonds to bail out of jail because in the long-term view, it is more affordable for them.

There is nothing wrong with using bail bonds compared to cash bail, and you should never be ashamed to talk to a bail agent.

It doesn’t matter if that person is a youth, a young adult, or a middle-aged man. What matters is that there are people who are optimistic and realistic and always willing to do what they can, even if it takes a long time and draws frustration.

We at Santa Ana Bail Bond Store have seen so many people in and out of jail. Each person has had a different story to tell. They’re all at different stages in life. Some have been repeat law offenders while others had just a one-time slip. This is our version of a diverse melting pot.

And through all these cases, we have seen each arrested person regret their negative actions and yearn for self-improvement. We’ve seen them create success stories because of the undying support from loved ones, including the Santa Ana Bail Bond Store team.

That being said, we can assure you that we are also on your side, supporting you in your uphill climb, no matter how deep your hole has been dug. We can help bail you out of jail which is a huge step. This gives you time and space to heal and to seek help from friends, family, and other third parties too, like therapists, rehab, etc.

By getting arrested, you’re already facing some trouble and consequences. But you don’t want to open the door to make these consequences any worse than what they already are. Here are some things you should not do if you are arrested:

• Do not mouth off to the police.
• Do not upset the police.
• Do not try and flee the police.
• Do not resist arrest.
• Do not incriminate yourself. Do not answer any questions unless your lawyer is present.
• Do not let the police search your home unless they have a warrant.
• Do not lie.

Even though the police have authority and are intimidating, they cannot step on your rights. Don’t cause any more trouble than the damage that has already been done. Just await instruction from your lawyer and the judge.

Contact Long Beach Bail Bond Store at 714-973-2245 for bail bond help.

Long Beach Bail Bond Store gets you out as fast as possible. Every person is innocent until proven guilty so you deserve the chance to prove your innocence. That is most effective when you have bailed out of jail and have the time and space to properly prepare your defense.

• Do I trust the arrested person enough to appear in court when he or she is asked, as well as oblige by any other court-mandated terms?
• Do I have enough collateral I would be willing and can afford to put up?
• Can I make do if the arrested person does not go to court?
• Do I have enough funds to pay the premium?
• Do I have enough to pay the rest of the bail amount if I have to?
• Do I have the emotional and mental capacity to take on this responsibility?
• Do I have the time to keep tabs on the arrested person?
• How might my relationship with this person change if I said no to co-signing the bail bond?

Co-signing a bail bond is a huge responsibility and we understand that some people do not want to or cannot take on this challenge. Feel free to call us, California Bail Bond Store, at 800-793-2245 to discuss your options and what it takes to be a bail bond co-signer.

If you get a call from someone in jail, it probably means he or she is seeking your help to bail him or her out. They are desperate and remorseful for their actions, ready to face consequences, and will be so grateful for you to support them, even if you are angry and disappointed.

The judge will determine the price of bail based on the arrested person’s criminal history and the crime. Because bail can be so high, many arrested people cannot afford to pay the entire amount in one instant payment in cash. So, they call someone they can rely on, and the call us at California Bail Bond Store.

What we do is work with you and the arrested person together. We agree on a personalized payment plan so that you, the person co-signing the bail bond, can pay us 10% of the bail amount over a course of so many weeks, months, etc. Once we complete paperwork (no more than 30 minutes), we will send it off to the jail where your person is being held. The jail will process the paperwork and your loved one is free to return home.

Now, as the cosigner of the bail bond, you are responsible for getting the arrested person back to court when they are ordered. That is, if you wish to not pay the consequential full bail amount and get all your collateral back. Think very hard about cosigning a bail bond – the arrested person may be your best friend but to do you trust him or her enough to go to court when asked, so that you do not have to pay for the dire consequences?

Don’t worry – you do have rights and we do take precautions to protect our cosigners as well. You can request to have the arrested person take a drug test or see a therapist so you can better determine if you want to cosign.

If you have additional questions about the bail bond process or what it takes to be a bail bond cosigner, do not hesitate to contact us at California Bail Bond Store at 800-793-2245 – even if you only want to ask questions. When you’re ready to start paperwork, we will be ready too.

• You are innocent until proven guilty
• You can hire legal counsel
• You can refrain from questioning until your lawyer shows up
• You are entitled to a fair and speedy trial
• You have the right to know the charges against you
• You are allowed to make a call after being arrested
• You have the right to post bail
• You are entitled to have your property and valuables returned to you upon release from jail

In stressful times, it’s easy to forget your rights if you are arrested. Sometimes, you may not even know of all your rights because the police may not explicitly tell them all to you, unless you ask.

For us at Yorba Linda Bail Bond Store, it is a part of our goal to protect and uphold these rights for you. Chat with us if you have any questions, concerns, or need bail help. You can start an online chat with one of our representatives, or you can call us at 714-973-2245. We’re available 24/7!

Perhaps you’ve heard the recent born-again debate about crazy jaywalking tickets distributed to pedestrians in Los Angeles – predominantly Downtown Los Angeles.

The situation has been brought to light by a man in his early 20s who was cited $197 for dashing across an intersection when the crossing countdown still had 10 seconds on it – plenty of time for him to catch the bus on the other side of the street so he can get to school. Instead, he missed the bus when a police officer stopped him and issued the ticket.

Recent studies have shown that with the population growth and revitalization of Downtown Los Angeles, 4 times as many similar tickets have been given out as other Los Angeles neighborhoods. This has sparked many to urge the city and the law enforcement to change this silly law and keep up with modern times.

But, until that change happens, we encourage all you Angelenos to take precaution when you see the flashing red hand with a countdown and are considering stepping off the curb – even if you have more than enough time to safely make it across the intersection without running. The fact of the matter is that legally, once the walking signal changes to the flashing red hand, you are not supposed to cross. You can get cited for this infraction (crazy, we know!) and it will not be cheap, considering that this is such a harmless infraction.

Even with all the prisons and jails in the United States, it’s sad to say that they are all overcrowding. And because prisons and jails cannot accommodate all offenders, many who have been sentenced for a less serious crime are released before doing their whole time. Bail can help alleviate this issue a bit.

For people who are arrested and have little or no criminal history, they can likely bail out of jail. This means they can go home instead of being crowded up in the jail with the hundreds of others who are there. This opportunity to bail out of jail is so much more desirable than sitting in jail for days, no matter the cost of bail.

If the arrested can pay their own bail, great. If not, there is still hope! That hope is contacting a bail bond agency like Santa Ana Bail Bond Store. Rather than paying the court the full bail amount, they will pay 10% of that to the bail agency. Some terms and conditions to this may include the need to have a co-signer to the bail bond and putting up collateral.

To you, it may not seem like bail makes a huge difference in the prison and jail systems. But it certainly does and we encourage you to help a loved one bail out if you’re ever in that position! Santa Ana Bail Bond Store will be happy to help.

Don’t waste your time with other bail agencies, call Santa Ana Bail Bond Store for real help at 714-973-2245.

Sometimes getting arrested could be the best thing that has ever happened to a person.

They live their life dangerously, hurting themselves and those who care about them physically, mentally, emotionally. They do not know how to stop their troubles because they think there is no use – why waste the effort of trying to turn their life around when they know things will just crumble again? The men and women who care about them don’t know what more they can do before exhausting themselves.

At some point, this person is arrested. Once at least and maybe twice or more. And for many, this is the point where they truly get a wake up call. Their future is laid out on the table in front of them: continue this no-good lifestyle and land in prison for the rest of your life or worse, end up dead too soon.

They bail out of jail with the help of a bail bond company and they begin to refocus and improve their life. This time they have the will power and the man power, including professional help. They know the worst of the worst and they see this as their opportunity to speak to others who are or were like them, share their crippling story, and their success since then. By encouraging and inspiring others to stay away from trouble, they are encouraging and inspiring themselves.

This is how getting arrested could be the best thing that has ever happened to a person. Their arrest is reality dangling them over a cliff like they only have this one chance to change.

• Bail bond companies cannot solicit a defendant for posting a bond.
• The defendant may request a review of bail. However, the bail amount is rarely readjusted after it has been set.
• Bail companies cannot recommend or refer attorneys to the arrested.
• If collateral like property and vehicles are put up for the bail bond, the owner must sign a statement acknowledging that he or she understands that this property may be lost to them if the defendant skips bail and court.
• Bail companies may not offer gifts to law enforcers or public officials as bribery.

There are more laws that surround the California justice system, and not all bail bond laws are the exact same across all states.
