01
Sign the Bail Agreement
We’ll walk you through the necessary paperwork, explaining everything clearly. You’ll need to sign an agreement that ensures:
- The defendant will appear in court as required.
- The non-refundable bail bond fee (usually 10% of the total bail amount) is paid.
We offer online bail bonds, so you can complete the process remotely for your convenience.
02
We Post Bail
Once all paperwork is completed and the bail bond fee is secured, our licensed bail agent immediately heads to the jail to post bail. The jail release process varies by facility but typically takes a few hours depending on:
- Jail workload & processing times
- Time of day (weekends & holidays may take longer)
- Defendant’s background check & court holds
We stay in close contact with you during this time, providing updates so you know exactly what to expect.
03
Defendant is Released
Once released, the defendant is legally obligated to:
- Attend all scheduled court appearances – Missing a court date can lead to a bench warrant for re-arrest.
- Follow any legal conditions – The court may impose restrictions such as travel limitations, no-contact orders, or mandatory check-ins.
At California Bail Bonds, we help defendants navigate the legal process and stay on track to fulfill their bail obligations. Need guidance? Call us anytime!
