FAQ
A bail bond is a surety bond, which is posted by a bail bond company to the court as a guarantee for an arrestee's appearance at all court dates. The court will release an arrestee from detention upon posting of the bail bond.
The principal is the defendant who is released on bail, the obligee is the court or the entity that requires the bond, ensuring the principal's future court appearances, and the surety is typically the bail bond company or agent who provides the bond, guaranteeing the principal's obligation to the obligee.
Yes! In California, bonds can be posted twenty-four hours a day, seven days per week. But whether you can bail someone out of jail at any time depends on their situation. When someone is arrested, they have a first appearance soon after.
Factors That Influence Bail Cost Bail of $500,000 or more is not uncommon for serious crimes such as murder, rape, or aggravated assault. It is often based on the type and severity of the charges in criminal defense, as well as the defendant's criminal history and flight risk.
While all licensed California contractors are required to carry a $15,000 contractor license bond, certain contractor licenses may require a $12,500 Bond of Qualifying Individual, a $100,000 LLC Employee/Worker Bond, or a Disciplinary Bond depending on their license status.
One thing to note is that getting a surety bond may be difficult for certain individuals. If you have a history of claims made against any previous bonds, or if you have a low credit score, it may be more difficult to get a surety bond since surety companies see this as a signal of increased risk.
