About Bail & Bail Bonds

In California, bail is set during a defendant's initial court appearance, called an arraignment. 

The amount of bail will vary widely depending on:

  • The nature of the charges
  • The defendant's criminal history, if any
  • Whether the defendant is considered a flight risk
  • The defendant's community ties

This financial assurance to the court ensures that the defendant returns for all scheduled court dates. Without the option of bail, defendants may remain incarcerated for the duration of their trial, which can last months or even years.

Bail bonds serve as a crucial financial tool for those who cannot afford the full amount of bail. A bail bond, typically issued by a licensed bondsman like Dan, covers the total bail amount with a non-refundable premium—usually about 10% of the full bail amount. This service not only aids in securing the release of the defendant but also helps to alleviate the financial strain on families during an already stressful time.

Why Bail Bonds Are Important

Because most people cannot afford to pay the full bail amount, bail bonds are often their only solution. Bail bonds play an integral role in the justice system by allowing defendants to remain out of jail while awaiting trial. This supports the fundamental principle that all are presumed innocent until proven otherwise. By enabling pre-trial releases, bail bonds ensure that defendants have the freedom to work with their attorneys to build a strong defense.

The California Jail System

California operates one of the largest jail systems in the U.S. It has more than 120 jails across 58 counties, designed to hold individuals awaiting trial, serving short sentences, or waiting for transfer to state prisons. 

These facilities vary widely in size and capacity, from small county jails to larger complexes in major metropolitan areas like Los Angeles and San Francisco. The process of booking and arraignment can differ significantly depending on the jurisdiction and the workload of the facility. Typically, arraignment should occur within 48 hours of an arrest if the individual remains in custody. However, this timeframe can be affected by weekends and holidays, potentially extending the waiting period. California's jails are notoriously overcrowded, with many facilities operating at or above their intended capacities, which often exceeds hundreds of thousands of inmates at any given time. This overcrowding can complicate the booking process and prolong the time detainees spend in jail before their initial court appearances.

A genuinely nice guy
Dan is a professional and the most knowledgeable person in this scope of work. I am so thankful to have come across his website on Google because he turned a bad situation into a great experience with his insight and advice. I highly recommend him as a bail bondsman. His help throughout this process has become invaluable to my family and me. From the beginning, he was very clear and helpful in providing a time frame of when to expect our family member to be released. We were able to keep communication with Dan from the release date to the court date. Honestly, you’re guaranteed communication from the beginning to end with Dan. He makes himself reachable at all hours of the day. Overall, he is a genuinely nice guy.
Maria Martinez
Highly will recommend this guy
Dan, My call went from asking for your bail bond services then you relating back to us my uncle had NO bail as we didn't know so much of his whereabouts. Therefore you could've just ended the call since my uncle didn't have BAIL but you didn't. You kept your promise and said you would help us get more details on my uncle's case/jail status and you sure did. You went above and beyond to get our family more information on my uncle's arrest and sentencing without hiring your services. We want to thank you for your dedication, hard work, and attention to detail as people like you will not go unnoticed. Highly will recommend this guy and his bail bond services. Thank you once again, Dan. Best, Sandy

Dan definitely deserves it
I normally don’t make reviews, but Dan definitely deserves it. No one ever wants to need a bail bondsman or thinks they will ever need one. Life happens, though, and sometimes you need a bail bondsman. I am so grateful that we found Dan to help us navigate through an already difficult time. He was very knowledgeable and helpful. He answered all our many questions with so much patience. He was honest and really put us at ease. If you ever need a bail bondsman, Dan is the man for the job.

Greg Vargas
He was very helpful with me.
He was very helpful with me. There was a lot going on at the time that I called, and he understood. Even though my child's case was dismissed, he still called me after to tell me the good news. I will definitely keep his number. Hopefully, I’ll never have to use it because nobody wants to call a bondsman. But if I do, it will be him.
Tanya Collazo
Dan the Man
Dan the man. Made this unfortunate event in my life a breeze. Kept my head up with some uplifting words and always updated me with any information regarding my court date. Highly recommend Daniel Nesser, no one wants to be in jail but he got me out in no time. You never know when you might need him. So save his information, could save you the headache or time away from your family.

Dan explained the entire process, ensuring that I had clarity, weighed out my options, and never made me feel rushed or pressured. Quite the opposite actually. As someone who never experienced needing a bail bondsman before, Dan is someone I would recommend to anyone who finds themselves in a situation where they have to provide this support to their loved one. My family and I cannot thank you enough, Dan.
