San Gabriel Valley Bail Bonds

If you or someone love has been arrested in the San Gabriel Valley, the judge may have already determined the bail amount that must be paid in order to secure a release from custody. Most often, a defendant cannot afford to post bail on his or her own. A bail bond enables the defendant or a representative of the defendant to pay only 10% of the bail amount as a promise that the defendant will appear for all scheduled court dates. A bail bond must be purchased through a licensed agent, and that is where a bail bond agent comes in the picture. A bail bondsman goes beyond simply securing a bail bond, however. A bail bondsman also takes action to help ensure the defendant shows up in court and will locate the defendant if he or she fails to appear.

Posting Bail in the San Gabriel Valley

It often arises that a defendant cannot afford bail. After an arrest and criminal charges, the court will determine whether the defendant will be released on his or her own recognizance or if bail must be paid to the court to allow his or her release. If bail is required, this must be paid if the defendant is to be released. It will be paid back to the defendant or to whoever posted bail after the court case is completed, whether a conviction is reached, if charges are dropped or if the defendant pleads guilty. When bail is too high for the defendant or a friend or family member to pay, a bail bond may be sought out. In California, it will cost 10% of the full bail amount to purchase a bail bond. A discount down to 8% may apply in some cases if the defendant has already secured the services of a criminal defense attorney or is an active union member. A bail bond must be purchased through a licensed bail bond agent.
