Riverside Bail Bonds understands you need to be home not only with your family, but also available to continue working. We know getting arrested is overwhelming. We have enough experience when posting bonds to know how daunting and confusing the entire process can be. Unfortunately, getting arrested is more common than most of us realize.

And, although getting arrested is difficult, it is even more of a burden for your loved ones. They are faced with the task of not only finding a way to bail you out of jail, but also deal with the worry and stress involved when someone you love is in jail. The next steps after an arrest are crucial. Riverside Bail Bonds understands this can be a confusing and daunting task. We are available to you 24 hours a day to answer any questions or address any concerns you may have.

When to Call A Bond Agent

It is important to call a bail bonds agent as soon as you hear of the arrest. Even if you don't know the bail bond amount, you need to get the process started as soon as possible. By providing the bail bonds agent with the defendant's vital information such as full name, DOB, address, place of employment and where they are located, they will be able to contact the jail and get the rest of the information needed to complete the application. The goal of the bail bonds agent is to get the bail bonds process started as soon as possible so the defendant can be released and returned home as expeditiously as possible.

The Bail Bonds Process

As soon as the bail bonds agent has the necessary information to process the application and get it approved, the next step is securing the bond through the usual 10% premium. The 10% premium is non-negotiable, non-refundable and state mandated. It cannot be changed. The premium can be paid with a check, money order, cash, credit/debit card or property that has substantial value such as a house, car or boat.

The next step is posting the bond and getting the release process started. After a person has been arrested, they are taken to the jail, fingerprinted, photographed, properly identified, background checked, and formally charged with a crime. The booking and intake process can take anywhere from two to six hours, depending on how busy the jail is. As soon as the bail bonds agent posts the defendant's bond, the release process can begin.

The process does not end with the release of the defendant. Just because the defendant has been released from jail, it doesn't mean the situation has been resolved. Now it is up to the defendant to uphold their end of the agreement. After the defendant to posts bond, the defendant must agree to appear at all scheduled court hearings and remain in compliance with the court's stipulations while they are obligated by the bail bond. If they do not appear in court or do not comply with the court's request, their bond can be forfeited or revoked, landing them back in jail and the co-signer possibly owing the total amount of the bond.

Why Use A Bail Bond?

Bail is established by local government as a proposed guarantee a suspect will comply with the judicial process. A bail bond is usually monetary and is given to the court as a promise to return for subsequent court dates. There are instances when bail is not required; usually if an arrestee does not have a criminal record or is in overall good standing within the community. But, even these factors do not guarantee you will not have to post bail. It is the sole discretion of the court. The difficulty for those who have been arrested is the cost of bail can be high. It can be anywhere from thousands to tens of thousands of dollars.

The process of obtaining a bond is foreign to most Americans. Riverside Bail Bonds understands this and strives to make the experience as seamless as possible. We understand the laws and guidelines for posting a bond in Murrieta, CA and can make your experience a little less stressful. When using a bond, you are only required to pay a percentage of the entire bail amount as a one-time fee to your bondsman. California law dictates this amount is 10 percent of the total bail amount except in special circumstances when only 8 percent is required. This 10 percent fee is non-refundable. Once you pay the fee, Riverside Bail Bonds will put up the remaining amount of bail to the court. This allows the bondsman to make a small profit and not have the added stress of coming up with a large amount of money for bail on such short notice. And, it makes it easier to focus your attention on your case and court dates without worrying about bail. Also, if the 10 percent will create a financial hardship, we do have in house financing that will be approved on a case by case basis. Please keep in mind that if the defendant fails to appear at any court dates the judge will issue an arrest warrant and you must return to jail within the designated amount of time. If this happens, your bond will be immediately forfeited, and you will be responsible for the full amount of the bond.

Riverside Bail Bonds does allow cosigners, and we take great care in explaining your responsibilities at the time of obtaining a bond. It is important to remember that you are accepting full responsibility for the full amount of the bond if it is forfeited by a judge. In our experience, we find it is best if you do cosign to ensure you are in contact with the defendant as well as the bondsman to ensure you are aware of any information regarding the case. It also helps to provide accountability for the defendant with court dates and such. This is suggested so the requirements issued by the courts are fulfilled and the bond will not be forfeited.

Bail Bond 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 in order 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 Murrieta, 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.

Revoking someone's bond is a serious step to take. A judge can revoke a bond if he or she believes the defendant has violated the terms of their bond agreement or has become a flight risk. If a defendant misses their court date and does not have a valid excuse, the judge may choose to revoke their bond and place them back in jail until their next scheduled hearing.

In most cases, if a defendant misses court, but immediately contacts the court and has a valid explanation as to why they were not there, the judge will set a new court date and their original bond will remain in place. If they do not appear in court and don't call to offer an explanation as to why the judge will give the bail bonds agency a specific amount of time to return the defendant to jail. If they are not returned in the allotted amount of time, the judge will forfeit the bond requiring it to be immediately paid in full.

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.
