Not every defendant in police custody will need a bail bond. However, with the economy in the state it is in and considering the fact that high bail amounts may be set for various misdemeanor or felony offenses, even for first time offenders, there are many Los Angeles arrestees who will need to turn to a bail bond agency for the help they need to make bail.
You may not have the cash available to post bail and may not have a friend or family member who can loan you the money you need. Your bail amount may have been set so high that you would have no chance of paying the full amount even though you have some money set aside for emergencies. In these situations, you may need a bail bond. For 10% of the full bail amount, you can purchase a bail bond. This legally binding agreement enables you to secure your release from custody on the promise that you will return to court when required, or be held liable for the full amount of bail.
For example, the court may have set your bail amount at $15,000. If you cannot afford to pay this in full and do not have a friend or loved one to post bail on your behalf, a Los Angeles bail bondsman can help you get a bail bond. This bail bond would cost you $1,500. It must be secured through a licensed bail agent. Once you purchase the bail bond, the bondsman would then be able to get you released from custody so you can be with your friends and family. You must then return to court for all scheduled court appearances.
