Bail Bond Los Angeles
A Los Angeles bail bond is the amount of money required by the court to release a defendant from custody and is his/her guarantee to appear in court at their scheduled date. A bail in Los Angeles can range anywhere from $50 for a simple misdemeanor to over $1 million for serious felonies. For high bails, it is common for family members, friends or arrestees to work with a bail bond company, as meeting the demands of the bail can often be too overwhelming. Once a bail is posted and the defendant is released, the bail bond agency becomes responsible for the defendants’ appearance in court. If they fail to appear when required, the court will demand the payment from the bail bond agency. The agency, in turn, will do what is necessary to return the defendant to custody and recover their costs.
The process of having someone released from a Los Angeles County jail can be fairly simple; however, it can be more complicated if your loved one is moved to the Central Jail. For this and other reasons, it is imperative to call us immediately to get the process started before they are transferred.
Your Responsibility For a Los Angeles Bail Bond
Perhaps the biggest question loved ones have when helping their friend or family member with bail is what their responsibility is. Bail bonds should not be taken lightly; your responsibility is great. You are the indemnitor – the person willing to be responsible for the defendant while they are out on bail. In most cases, you will also pledge some collateral to guarantee the bond and we, in turn, guarantee the cash to the court. For this service, the California Department of Insurance sets the premium of 10 percent of the bail amount. This is non-refundable once the defendant is released. If you are certain that the defendant will appear in court and will not flee, you can have confidence knowing that your cost will be no more than the premium.
