How we post bail in Los Angeles
When you call, a bilingual agent confirms the exact bail amount and which rate tier fits the situation. Paperwork is handled by e-signature — usually finished in fifteen minutes, with no drive-in required. A licensed Justice agent then walks the surety bond to the jail desk in person, and we stay in touch through release.
Watch the rate
California Insurance Code § 1800 caps the bail premium at 10% of the face amount of the bond — that’s the legal ceiling, not the minimum. Anything above 10% is illegal. Walk away from any bondsman who quotes above the cap, demands wired money before paperwork is signed, has no California Department of Insurance license number visible, or pressures you to decide in under a minute.
