Oakland Bail Bonds Services - California

When bail is set by the court for you, a family member or a loved one, how do you find a reliable bail bond service in Oakland? There are many choices for Bail Bond agents and services, and you want to work with a service that is professional, bonded and licensed.
Bail - money that must be posted with the court to release an incarcerated person - is used as “insurance” that the person will attend the required court appearances. The sum can be thousands of dollars, much more than most people have on hand.
What does a Bail Bond Service do?
Bail Bond Services will post the bail for you, by way of a bail bond. The bail bond is a contract between you and a bail agent or bondsman. The bail agent will post the entire bail, and you will be charged a non-refundable fee of 10% of the total bail. For example, if bail is $10,000, you will pay the bondsman $1,000.
After the person attends all court appointments and the case is resolved, the court will exonerate your bond, and the bond agent is refunded the money. If the person does not show up to court, the bond is forfeited and the court keeps the bail.

How Much Bail will be Set?
The Judge uses a “bail schedule” in California to determine the bail for misdemeanors and felonies. They use this as a guideline to determine the amount of bail, depending on several factors such as:

• Flight risk
• Criminal history
• Facts of the case.

There are occasions when the judge will deny bail and the person must remain in custody.
