Step Two

Complete some paperwork and arrange for payment of the bond. Since all bail bondmen are regulated by the California Department of Insurance, we will need to complete some paperwork. This usually takes less than 20 minutes to complete. Don’t worry, this process is painless. In fact, we will help fill out most of the forms for you!

The cost of the bail bond is set by California law. There are two legally mandated rates: the standard rate is 10% of the bond amount (ex. $10,000 bond would cost $1,000). There is a special bond rate of 8% available under very specific circumstances. Please call me for the details. We will always try to find a way to save you money!
