The bail bond process.



Q: Who can bail my loved one out of jail?
            A: The bail bond process is regulated by the State of California through the Department of Insurance. All persons negotiating bail must be licensed by the California Department of Insurance. You need to talk with a 510 Bail Bond licensed bail agent. All of our agents are licensed to conduct bail at all California jails.
Q: How is the bail amount set?
            A: The Judge within the county of arrest sets the bail amount.
Q: How can we pay the bail amount?
            A: All 510 Bail Bond agents are able to accept payment by cash or credit card for your convenience. Ten percent of the bail bond amount is the fee 510 Bail Bond charges. This fee is regulated by the California Department of Insurance.
Q: How long does the paper work take?
            A: The Bail bond paper work will take less than 20 minutes on average.
Q: How long does it take for a person to get out of jail?
            A: This depends on the jail. 510 Bail Bond doesn’t control this. Once we post the bond at the jail that will start the release process. Each jail is different, most local jails release within 30 minutes of us posting the bond. The County jails release times are 2-4 hours typically but have taken up to 10 hours on some occasions.
Q: Once released what are the responsibilities of the defendant?  
            A: The defendant must meet with a 510 Bail Bond agent within 24 hours to fill out all paperwork.
Q: Do I get the bail bond money back?
            A: No the bail bond money paid to 510 Bail Bond is our fee and is considered earned the moment the defendant steps out of jail. It is not refundable.
Q: If I have other questions who should I ask?
            A: You can have all your questions answered by your 510 Bail Bond agent. We understand that you are our clients and we will do everything humanly possible to make sure you fully understand the process and that all your questions are answered.
Q: Why can’t you recommend an attorney?
            A: We are not permitted to recommend attorneys by law.
