Bail Bonds Agency
If you or a loved one has recently been arrested and you’re in need of a bail bonds agency – we’re sorry you’re in this situation, but we’re here to help. If you cannot afford bail, hiring a bail bond agency can ensure that you or your loved one gets out of jail as quickly and efficiently as possible. Once arrested, a judge at the bail hearing typically sets the bail amount. The judge will consider a number of factors, including the severity of the crime, previous convictions, the defendant’s ties to the community, family, and whether or not they have steady employment. In many cases, families are not prepared to fulfill the entire bail bond amount and will hire a bail bonds agency to assist.
When contacting a bail bonds agency, be sure to have as much information as possible available to assist them in locating you or your loved one in the system. Some of the most important information includes:
- The full name of the person being held in the Los Angeles jail system
- The jail that they are being held at
- Their booking number
- The charges they are being held for
- Any previous charges they may have had in the past
- Any additional information you can get
Los Angeles Bail Bonds Agency
A bail bonds agency will charge you a fee – typically 10% of the bail amount – to post bail on your behalf. Sometimes collateral is needed to secure the bail; however, we often offer no collateral bonds at Lopez Bail Bonds. Once the details have been discussed and paperwork has been signed, one of our team members will post bail at the jail. The process of bailing someone out of jail can take a short time or several hours. It depends on the circumstances, the jail, and how crowded it is.
Within the Los Angeles County jail system, timing is everything. As the largest and most populated city and county in the state, it can take as long as 24 hours before bail can be posted due to volume. Rest assured knowing that our team of bail bond experts have been working closely with professionals in this system for decades, and have the relationships needed to ensure your process is as smooth and successful as possible.
Los Angeles County has three main jail facilities: 1) the Men’s Central Jail, located in downtown Los Angeles; 2) the Twin Towers Correctional Facility, which encompasses the Los Angeles County Medical Center Jail Ward and a medical services building; and 3) the Century Regional Detention Facility for women, which is often called the Los Angeles Jail for Women or the Lynwood Jail because of the jail’s location in Lynwood.
Other jail facilities in Los Angeles include the Mira Loma Detention center, which houses Federal detainees until their immigration cases have been decided; the Pitchess Detention Center East, which is the oldest operating jail in the country housing parole violators, and the North Facility, which is home to pre-sentenced and sentenced mail inmates in maximum security; and the North County Correctional facility, a maximum security complex boasting five jails in one facility.
Once the person has been released, they must show up for all court proceedings and meet any conditions set by the bail agent. If they do not appear in court, the bail bond agency will be required to pay the full bail amount. If this happens or they violate any bail conditions, the bail agent will located the defendant and take them back to jail.
