Frequently Asked Questions

The standard bail bond premium in California is 10% of the total bail amount, regulated by California Insurance Code § 1800.4. For example, if bail is set at $10,000, you pay $1,000. Some clients may qualify for a reduced 8% rate.

Processing time varies by facility, but once we post the bond, most people are released within 4-8 hours. Some facilities are faster, some slower. We expedite the process as much as possible.

You need the arrested person's full name, date of birth, and the jail they are in. Charges are helpful but not always required. We can often find the information ourselves.

No — the 10% premium is our fee for posting the bond. It is non-refundable. However, if the charges are dropped before arraignment, we may be able to refund a portion. Call us to discuss your situation.
