What Happens When You Get Arrested in Los Angeles County?

When you get arrested in Los Angeles County, you will be placed in handcuffs and taken to the Los Angeles Police Station. Once you arrive at the Los Angeles Police Station, you will begin the booking process. During the booking and processing, you will be fingerprinted, get a mugshot picture taken, and answer questions about your background. Your information will then be processed into the computer system.

The booking process could take about two to three hours to complete. Once you have finished the booking process, you will then either be placed into a cell or you may be transferred to one of the Los Angeles County jails. If you are transferred to one of the bigger jails, it could take around 12 hours before your bail will be posted.

How Can a Bail Bondsman Help You?

If you or someone you know has been recently incarcerated, we can help get you to where you need to be. When you get arrested, a judge will set your bail for a certain amount of money. This helps to ensure that you will come back to court to settle your case in the future. When a judge sets your bail, you are required to pay it before you can leave jail. Most of the time, a person’s bail will be set at too high of an amount for them to afford. This is where we come in.

When you give us a call, we will review the situation and come up with the best plan of action. Depending on the type of payment option that you choose, we may ask that you pay a small percentage of the bail and then put down some sort of collateral – like your home, your car, or jewelry – for the remaining amount. Once you have gone to court to face the charges that have been brought against you, the collateral will be returned to you.

We are waiting for your call. Dial (800) 798-7366 today to receive prompt service.

What Determines the Amount of My Bail?

After you get arrested, you will have to go to a bail hearing where a judge will determine the amount of your bail. There are a few things that the judge will consider when setting your bail. A judge will ask themselves a few questions when determining your bail, which includes:

• What is the defendant’s criminal history?
• Is the defendant a flight risk?
• Does the defendant have important family obligations?
• Does the defendant have a strong connection with the community?
• Does the defendant pose a public safety risk?

In addition to an amount of money that must be paid, your bail could also come with a few conditions that you must follow. Some of these conditions could be travel restrictions, firearm restrictions, and no-contact orders. If you fail to abide by the rules that are given to you, you risk the chance of going back to jail.

Bail Bond Payment Options

Like most of the other bail bondsman in California, we follow the California State Law which states that we will never charge you more than 10% of your bail amount. Unlike most other bail bonds services, we understand that even a 10% charge can be expensive for some people, which is why we have several different payment options that are able to suit a wide range of budgets:

• 2% Bail Bond option allows you to only put 2% down upfront if you have a co-signer or OAC. You can pay the other 8% charge later and get your loved one home a lot sooner.
• 1% Bail Bonds is a great option if the person has just been arrested on their first offense. This allows you to only pay a small fee up front and pay the rest of the fee later.
• 0% Bail Bonds with collateral option is something that very few Los Angeles Bail Bondsman are willing to do. However, we understand that arrest can happen suddenly when you are not prepared for them. So, even if you don’t have cash on you right then, you can still get your loved one out of jail and pay the fee later on in the week.

We strive to do everything in our power to help you and your loved one during this difficult time. This is why we offer payment plans on all of our bail bonds options. Just talk to one of our experienced staff members to see what type of payment option would be best for you.
