Innocent until proven guilty is a fundamental right of all citizens in the United States, so why should a defendant wait for their trial detained in a jail cell as if they were already convicted of a crime? In order to respect their rights, the US judicial system offers its defendants the opportunity, in most cases, to be released from detainment until the time of their trial.

The bail system is the way that has been created to allow someone to wait for trial while still ensuring that they will appear in court. If a friend or a loved one finds themselves held in a Manhattan Beach Jail, you may have the ability to post their bail and they will be released with the responsibility of showing up to court for their trial or the bail money will be forfeited. You also can make sure that they have access to the best bail bond team possible to release them from the Manhattan Beach Jail; Ernie Lopez Bail Bonds.

Manhattan Beach Bail Bonds

It may sound like a fairly simple transaction: pay the appropriate dollar amount, be released from jail, and appear in court for your arraignment. The unfortunate truth is, however, that it can actually be an extraordinarily complicated process. Simply finding the defendant, your friend or loved one, in the penitentiary system can be a nightmare. “Have they been arrested? Which jail would they be in? How do I communicate with them? Have they been transferred to another facility? What do I do then?”

In addition to the stress and uncertainty of the simple act of locating the person you are looking for, you then have to come up with what may be a large sum of money, immediately, for them to be released. Include all sorts of paperwork on top of that, and bailing someone out of jail becomes an incredibly stressful, expensive, and time-consuming task.
