Sometimes a good time out with friends turns into a fight or a little too much to drink, and the next thing you know it’s 3 AM and you’re sitting in a holding cell rather than home. Arrests don’t keep business hours, and neither do we.
Day or night, we start immediately
A 24-hour bail bondsman means exactly that — you can bail out of jail anytime. We handle DUI, domestic violence, and assault and battery around the clock. Sample misdemeanor bail amounts include Violation of Probation (PC 1203.2) $5,000, Carrying a Concealed Firearm (PC 12025) $5,000, Exhibiting a Firearm (PC 417) $10,000, and DUI (PC 23152) $5,000.
24-hour DUI bail
Driving under the influence means operating a vehicle when your blood alcohol level is .08% or greater, or under the influence of any substance — including prescription and over-the-counter drugs — that significantly affects you. Failure to submit to the chemical test required by law results in the automatic loss of your driving privileges for one year, and DUI bail amounts are often more than $5,000.
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. A real bondsman walks the family through the math.
