What Should I Expect?
Arrests are not typically something you can plan for, but we will do our best to make sure everything that comes afterward is thoroughly understood and planned out. Immediately after an arrest has been made, the defendant will be taken to the nearest available jail to be booked. This typically does not take very long but must happen before the bail can be posted. If it is a common crime, your bail will likely be posted using a bail schedule which can be done very quickly. However, if it is a more high-profile case, you will be required to attend a bail hearing before bail can be set. Regardless of when bail is posted, we can begin the application and ensure that everything is completed as fast as possible. After the application is complete and bail is set, we can send an agent to the jail to begin the discharge of the defendant. This release process can take anywhere from three to twelve hours varying based on the capacity of the jail at that time. We will work to employ every tool in decreasing the time you spend in jail. We understand that can be an emotionally overwhelming experience.
What are My Options?
The first thing you should know is that bail is your right as an American Citizen and can only be withheld when you pose a danger to the community. If you feel your rights have been violated, you should contact a lawyer immediately. Now when it comes to paying your bail fee, you have a few options. First, our agents will access al of the information pertaining to your case, and we will decide exactly what the best way to approach the bail fee would be. Riverside Bail Bonds is certified and insured to take on any kind of bail bond you could possibly need. Of the many cases we can handle, we are more than experienced to process cash bonds, domestic violence bonds, surety bonds, prostitution bonds, possession bonds, immigration bonds, and property bonds. We will thoroughly explain the most common approaches to a bail fee in the next few sections, but you can call to inquire about any special circumstances we may not have addressed below. Riverside Bail Bonds is committed to getting you the help you need
When faced with a bail fee, your first option is to pay the entire fee in cash up front. This is often the most simple and fast answer; however, it is not the most economically advantageous. Bail for a common crime can range anywhere from 5,000 to 50,000 dollars and most people just don’t have this money lying around. No one expects an arrest when it happens. For most people, it is the biggest misfortune of their life. Likewise, no one is prepared to shell out that kind of money, and we do not expect you to. That is the sole purpose of a bail bond. It makes bail more affordable to the common person and helps bail agents to earn a living. It’s a positive situation for everyone involved. We will protect you all long the way and explain exactly what you need to do to ensure your loved one gets out of jail and stays out.
The surety bond, which you are probably familiar with as the bail bond, is the most highly recommended way to act on a bail fee. It will save you thousands of dollars upfront by serving as a substitute for you having to come up with that money on your own. What happens is the co-signer pays a percentage of the entire bail to a bail agent. Then that bail agent will cover the rest and post the bail for the client. This percentage is nonrefundable as a means for the bail agent to make a living, but as required by state law, this percentage is fixed at 10%. This law is set in place to protect clients from being taken advantage bail agencies. Although you can go to any bail agency for the same service, we assure you that no agency will have better customer care than Riverside Bail Bonds. Unlike other agencies, we will never charge any hidden fees beyond this premium.
Agencies are not allowed to change the 10% fee that you pay for any reason, but that does not stop them from taking advantage of any extra expense they can charge you for. You should take great caution before being asked to sign anything. A trustworthy agency will explain everything that is required of you before asking you to sign any contract. However, it is not beyond any agency to charge hidden fees, so we will warn you of the most common expenditures we witness with other agencies. The first is an annual premium. As you may know, our court systems are ridiculously over populated, causing many cases to extend far beyond a year. When this occurs, many agencies jump at the opportunity to charge the premium again as a renewal fee for their services. Another opportunity, agencies will use to take advantage of your situation, is by charging a cancellation fee. When the courts are overcrowded, it is common for the district attorney to fail to make formal charges upon the defendant within a reasonable time frame. When this happens, the bail will have to be cancelled and reinstated. Agencies tend to recharge their clients an additional 10% as a means to reinstate the bail. This is cruel behavior, that Riverside Bail Bonds will never engage in. Our goal is to care for you from start to finish. Thus, we will never compromise your financial security for our gains. Instead we offer many in-house financing options to those in tough situations. We will happily accept cash, credit/debit, check, cashier check, money orders, and collateral. We will do our best to make ourselves available to you.
If a surety bond is simply not possible for you at the time, but you own collateral that could easily be posted for bail, your final resort may be to obtain a property bond. Hence the name, a property bond allows you to post property rather than money when securing bail. You might ask what can used as property, and the answer is literally anything reasonable that meets the value of the bond. The most common items used for collateral are jewelry, boats, cars, and houses. The only catch is that the property must be worth one and a half times the bond value so that any additional paperwork and fees regarding property will be covered. The difference between this and a surety bond, is that it cannot be passed onto another person. So, in the case that the co-signer does not want their property bonded, they will have to return the defendant to jail, cancel the bond, and fill out the remaining paperwork to have their property released. In the case that the bail is forfeited by a judge, the property will be sold at auction and any restitutions will be paid, and the remaining money will be returned to the co-signer. This method is used at desperate times, because it is not very efficient. The process of bonding property is quite lengthy and often defeats the purpose of a fast discharge from jail. If you make the choice to follow through with a property bond, be prepared for a longer wait time before the defendant can be released. The better option would be to secure the surety bond, but Riverside Bail Bonds will support you with whatever decision you feel is best for your situation.
What to Do After Being Discharged
Being released from jail may feel like a relief to the defendant, but this is when the hard work comes in. The benefits of bail are that you get to tend to your legal responsibilities from home while you take care and are comforted by your family. It is also a time to get your affairs in order, in the case that your trial leads to a conviction. Regardless of your situation, it is highly encouraged that you contact an attorney and access all of the resources you can to benefit your case. You want to make sure that you have the best defense to maintain as many rights as you can. Likewise, you will want to follow all protocol to ensure you remain home where you belong.
In order to remain out on bail, you will have to follow all regulations set by the court. As a co-signer, this means keeping all communication between the courts, the bail agency, and the defendant intact. This also means keeping all contact and address information up to date. If you are the defendant, there is a little bit more required. The most common stipulations enforced by the court are to maintain consistent attendance, avoid any further charges, comply with any restraining orders, and to keep all contact information available. We will assist you in any area we can, whether it mean reminding you of court dates or driving you to the court ourselves.
What Do I Do If I Accidentally Miss a Court Date?
If you have a mishap and unintentionally miss a court date, we completely understand and help you to resolve the issue. In the case that the judge decides to forfeit bail, they will first issue a bench warrant for you to be returned to custody. The co-signer will then need a resumption of liability letter from their bail agency to have the bond reinstated. While most agencies will charge an additional hundreds of dollars for this letter, Riverside Bail Bonds will service it to you, free of charge. We want to protect both the co-signer and the defendant in this confusing time and will do our best to make sure you are taken care of.
