About Bail Bonds BROWN BAIL BONDS - INSURANCE BAIL LIC. # 1843767
WHAT IS A BAIL BOND?
A Bail Bond is a contract between a state licensed bail agent and the signer or cosigners; guaranteeing that a defendant will appear for scheduled court appearances. In the event of failure to appear, sometimes called a "skip", the signers of the bail bond contract agree to pay the court the full amount of the bond.
WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF THE BAIL SYSTEM?
The purpose of the bail system is to guarantee the appearance of a criminal defendant in court. The bail system was imported to the U.S. from England in Colonial times and has origins dating back to medieval times. Statistically, the bail system works well and costs taxpayers nothing as bail agents are underwritten privately.
As a licensed California Bail Agent, I am dedicated to providing you with bail bond information including how bail bonds work, the bail system, cost and the approval process. This is likely a difficult time in your life and Christina Brown Bail Bonds can get you through the process quickly. 855.255.BAIL(2245) Anytime
BOND APPROVAL
In order to approve California bail bonds, information will be collected by the bail agent through an interview. Some bail bondsmen require collateral in order to secure the full amount of the bond. At Christina Brown Bail Bonds, I work with clients to create a bail contract where collateral is not necessary if possible. The process takes just a few minutes.
I understand that the bail process can be confusing and frustrating, as there is a lot to understand. I have agents ready to assist you 24x7. If you need more information about California bail bonds, please call 855.255.BAIL(2245) for service.
What to Expect when Bailing Someone Out of Jail
When someone is arrested, the defendant, a friend, or relative will contact a bail bond company. During the free phone consultation, most companies will collect basic information about your situation in order to determine the risk involved in the bail bond and begin the approval process.
Typically we will ask you for the nature of the charges, when the defendent was arrested, the nature and duration of the relationship with the defendant .
Also, we will collect information about employment, prior arrest, legal residency, whether any of the signing parties are property owners, etc...
If you choose to use our services, basic documents will be processed; which require the signatures of all participating parties. These documents typically include a bail bond application, Indemnity Agreement, and receipt. With Christina Brown Bail Bonds the paperwork can be processed by e-mail and fax in a few minutes or a licensed agent can meet the client at their location or at the jail.
Completing the Process - Release from Jail
After the paperwork is finalized, a licensed agent will file, or "post", the bond with the jail which will result in the release of the defendant. Again, jail facilities vary in the amount of time to process the bond and release the detainee. From start to finish, this bail agency will generally complete the paperwork and posting process in 1-2 hours. For this service, the customer is charged a bail bond fee (generally 10% of the full bail amount, which is mandated by state law).
If the Defendant is not Bailed Out
If the defendant is not bailed out or otherwise released, she or he will usually remain in custody until arraignment and potentially until the matter has been resolved in court. The benefit of being released on bail is that the defendant will have time obtain qualified legal services and present the case in a complete manner.
Bail Bond Cost
Bail Bond Costs In most states, including California, the cost of bail bonds is set by law and rates are not negotiable. The fee for California bail bonds is 10% of the bail. There are no taxes for a bond. By example, if the bail is set at $20,000, which is average in California, then the fee charged is $2000. In certain rare cases for high bail amounts, bonds may be eligible for an 8% rate. I provide several payment options. You may pay using cash or major credit card including Visa, MasterCard, American Express and Discover Card. I can also provide easy, no cost financing for qualified customers.
Often times, a bail agent will additionally require "collateral", which may include your home, car, or some other type of valuable property. Collateral is simply used as a guaruntee that the defendent will show up to court. If the defendent should fail to appear in court, the bondsman is entitled to keep or sell your collateral in order to pay the court the full amount of the bond.A bail bond is good for one year -- if your case extends beyond that, the bondsman may require an additional premium to secure your bond.Once your case is resolved (or you are incarcerated), the court will exonerate your bond and your bondsman will return your collateral.If you have additional questions about bail or the California Bail process, please feel free to give us a call at 855.255.2245
We have local agents throughout California; including Van Nuys, San Diego, Orange County, San Bernardino, Los Angeles, Ventura, Long Beach, IRC, Lynwood, Century Station, Beverly Hills,the San Francisco Bay area, and several surrounding cities.
