If you, your friend, or your relative have been arrested in Beaumont, California, it is imperative that you waste no time in getting out of jail so you can obtain the services of a skilled attorney and build a solid defense before your court arraignment. We at Riverside Bail Bonds understand the confusion that confronts you when arrested and held at the Beaumont City Police Station or when you are transferred to larger jail like the Larry D. Smith Correctional Facility or the Central Detention Center. We know how these institutions work down to the tiniest details, and we also understand the local court system. This puts us in a position to process your bail bond with great dispatch and minimize the time you spend behind bars.
What is a Bail Bond?
Bail is set high by local governments on purpose to discourage defendants from fleeing justice, while still allowing them their freedom while their case is in process. Unfortunately, the thousands or even tens of thousands of dollars required to pay a cash bond (post full bail upfront in cash) is out of the reach of most people. A few people are able to get around this problem by borrowing the cash from a friend or relative, posting a deed in lieu of cash, or qualifying for a release on own recognizance, which means that no bail is required based on the defendant's "good standing in the community." In most cases, however, the only way to get out of jail before your first court date is to take out a "surety bond," which is more commonly known as a "bail bond."
In order to secure a bail bond, you pay only a certain percentage of the full bail amount as a one-time, non-refundable fee to your bail bondsman. The bail bondsman then posts the full bail with the court. However, if your bond is forfeited due to your failure to appear for your court dates, you will become liable for the full value of the bond. It is possible for a forfeited bond to be reinstated, but this is fully at the presiding judge's discretion. In California, the state mandates that bail bonds fees be 10% of the bail amount, no more, no less, though there are rare cases where an 8% fee is permissible.
So long as you do not violate the terms of bail, including showing up for court consistently and on time, not fleeing the county, and keeping your bail bondsman informed of any changes of address, contact information, or place of employment, you will only pay the 10%. This makes bail much more affordable to the average person. Furthermore, many bail bonds companies also offer in-house financing at very reasonable rates to those who cannot afford the fee.

They can assist you in filling out your paperwork and getting approved for the bond, usually completing this aspect of the process in only 20 to 30 minutes.

Once fully booked, your bondsman can immediately post the bail, but you then have to go through a release process that can take as long as the booking process did.

What is a Bail Bond?
Bail is set high by local governments on purpose to discourage defendants from fleeing justice, while still allowing their freedom to prepare a defense, continue employment and be home with family. Unfortunately, the thousands or even tens of thousands of dollars required to pay a cash bond (post full bail upfront in cash) is near impossible for most. The percentage of people who are able to post the entire amount themselves, post a deed in lieu of cash or simply being released on your own recognizance is small. In most cases, however, the only way to get out of jail before your first court date is to take out a "surety bond," which is more commonly known as a "bail bond."
To secure a bail bond, you pay only a certain percentage of the full bail amount as a one-time, non-refundable fee to your bail bondsman. The bail bondsman then posts the full bail with the court. However, if your bond is forfeited due to your failure to appear for your court dates, you will become liable for the full value of the bond. It is possible for a forfeited bond to be reinstated, but this is completely at the presiding judge’s discretion. In California, the state mandates that bail bonds fees be 10% of the bail amount, no more, no less, though there are rare cases where an 8% fee is permissible.
Two other ways to get out of jail are on a property bail bond or on O.R. ("own recognizance"). In Beaumont, a property bond, which is posting bail with the deed to a piece of real estate, normally requires a property value at least twice that of a cash bond. This is based on the equity rather than on the market price. Because the process of posting a property bond is slow and tedious, it can leave you waiting in jail for days or even weeks, but it can also save you money so long as the bond is not forfeited. If it is forfeited, you risk the permanent loss of your property. Release on own recognizance occurs when the court finds you to be an "upstanding citizen" who can be trusted to be released without posting any bail at all. This is rare, but if you have no criminal record, long-time residence and employment in the community, and good character witnesses, it might be possible.
So, if you do not violate the terms of bail, including showing up for court consistently and on time, not fleeing the county, and keeping your bail bondsman informed of any changes of address, contact information, or place of employment, you will only pay the 10%. This makes bail much more affordable to the average person. Furthermore, many bail bonds companies also offer in-house financing at very reasonable rates to those who cannot afford the fee.

Options
We are committed to finding you a solution in what is most likely one of your most difficult situations. Riverside Bail Bonds takes the time to listen to your specific needs and situation to find you the best possible solution. There are various issues that arise when getting arrested, but we always have an answer. Bail bonds can be overwhelming, and we are highly trained to work with each issue to find swift resolution as quickly as possible. Many bonds, like immigration require special circumstances. When you find yourself needing a bond in Beaumont, CA for an immigration arrest, Riverside Bail Bonds is hands down your best choice. These bonds specifically require collateral instead of cash when securing a bond. This is to ensure the defendant will remain in the United States while awaiting trial. Our bonds can be secured with jewelry, cars or real estate. We will work with you! It is important to remember that regarding immigration bonds, the collateral must be 150% of the value of the bond amount. This is strictly to compensate for any expense commonly associated with this type of bond.
Fulfilling Your Obligations
Both the co-signer and the defendant have obligations that must be met while the bond agreement is in place. While the defendant must agree to attend their court hearings, the co-signer remains fully responsible for the total amount of the bond, and if, for any reason, the defendant doesn't fulfill their end of the agreement. If the defendant misses court, the judge will issue an arrest warrant. If they are not returned to jail within a designated amount of time (normally 30 days), their bond will be forfeited, and the co-signer must pay the full amount immediately. If the defendant can prove that missing their court date was an accident or unavoidable on their part, the judge may reinstate their bond and reschedule the court date, so they can fulfill their obligations
Co-signers can also ask to have a bond revoked if they no longer want to be responsible for the defendant or having to pay back the entire amount of the bond if the defendant does not follow through with their agreement. The co-signer's responsibility goes much farther than making sure the defendant goes to court. They are responsible for the entire amount of the bond if the defendant, for any reason, leaves the jurisdiction and cannot be returned.
