Are you able to handle bail bonds from out of state?
We sure are; We have affiliate agents all over the United States. We currently have active agents in Orange County, California:
- Orange County bail bonds agents have access to all jails in the county, and have great financing programs to help get your loved ones out fast. In cities such as Garden Grove, Fountain Valley, and others, these agents can give you the information needed to begin the bail process. Although California has the highest bail amounts in the country, it’s still possible to finance a bond there. It’s just difficult. You can check the Orange County Bail Schedule to find out how much it may cost to bail someone out.
- In Irvine, California, there are also agents standing by. If you need to contact an Irvine bail bonds company, please keep in mind that the Irvine Police Department may initially hold your loved one at the station for the booking process. They are then transported to the main county jail. Once in the main county jail, it can take up to 12 hours to get the defendant bailed out.
- The main Orange County Jail is located in Santa Ana, California. If your loved one has already been transferred from one of the local city police departments, you may want to contact a Santa Ana bail bonds agent directly, instead of an agent in the city they were arrested in. The reason for this is, if they’ve already been sent to the main jail, the agent is going to have to travel to Santa Ana. So it will save time if you contact an agent who’s already near the main jail.
- There are currently 34 incorporated cities located in Orange County. So, bail agents are in almost every city. For example, if you need to contact a Bail Bonds Costa Mesa company, you’ll have no problem locating one. They all charge the same 10% premium, which is mandated by California’s state law. It’s possible to get a lower premium, but this is only available if you meet certain conditions.
How are bail bonds in California structured?
Bail bonds in California consist of two parts. The first part is the 10% fee which is paid to the agent as a percentage of the total amount of the bond. This can be paid in many ways and we’ll even arrange a loan if you are unable to pay upfront.The bond sometimes need to be collateralized, using whatever assets you might have or cash to back the bond amount. If the agent doesn’t feel collateral is needed, they will use a signature bond, which means that they trust you without the need for the backing of assets to protect them.
What happens to the person who is arrested in Orange County?
The person who is being detained will be taken into an Orange County holding facility and details will be taken. A bail amount will be set and the person will be given an explanation of their legal rights. Once this has been done, the person is bonded out into the custody of the Orange County bail agent.
