Whether you’ve been accused of committing a crime you didn’t commit, or you made a mistake and find yourself in legal trouble, any run-in with the law can be terrifying. If you’ve been arrested in California, you need a Los Angeles Bail Bonds Agency you can trust.

Navigating the judicial system is challenging for both the person who has been arrested and for their family who may be lost in completely uncharted territory. No matter what side of the bars you stand on, it’s essential that you find a bail bondsman who can help you navigate the process quickly and as painlessly as possible.

Why Do You Need a Bail Bondsman?

After you’ve been arrested, you will attend an arraignment hearing where the judge will explain the charges against you and the next steps in the process. The judge’s responsibility is to ensure that you:

  • Don’t pose a threat to yourself or the community
  • Return to court for your next court date rather than skipping town

This is where the concept of bail comes into play. Bail is a financial commitment made by you or on your behalf to return to court. The judge will take a number of factors into consideration before making a decision regarding your bail. These include the severity of your crime, your ties to the community, your past criminal history, and a number of other data points.

  1. Once a decision has been made, you may experience one of 3 outcomes regarding your bail:
    You are released on your own recognizance (ROR) meaning the judge trusts that you are not a danger to yourself or others, you will not commit any further crimes once released, and you will return to court for your next date.
  2. Bail will be denied, meaning that you will stay in jail until your next hearing date. In the U.S., we have a right to a speedy trial so all possible accommodations will be made to have your next date scheduled quickly.
  3. Bail will be set. This is where a bail bondsman comes in. The judge will decide on an amount that he or she thinks will encourage you to return to court. This amount may be small enough that a family member can access it easily, or it may be so large that you need outside help. A bail bondsman will post that money on your behalf (while securing collateral to protect themselves).

Post Bail

If you post bail, whether by yourself or with the help of a bail bondsman, you must return to court at your next scheduled date. Failure to do so means you forfeit the amount of the bail. If you posted your own bail and you do appear in court, your bail will be returned to you. If a bail bondsman posted on your behalf, they will keep approximately 10% of your bail as payment.
You’ve got a lot of options when it comes to hiring a bail bondsman. How then, do you know that you’ve chosen the right person?
