About Bail & Bail Bonds in the San Fernando Valley

When a person is arrested and charged with a crime, the court will set a specific amount of money that must be paid for the defendant to be released from custody while his or her case is pending or trial is in progress. At times, a defendant may be released without bail, which is called a release on one's own recognizance. If bail is required, the defendant or someone acting on behalf of the defendant must provide the money to the court in order to be released. This money acts as a promise or guarantee that the defendant will return to court when required and will be given back to the defendant or whoever provided it upon the completion of the case.

There are times when a San Fernando Valley defendant simply cannot afford to post bail. He or she may not be able to afford it personally and may not have a friend or family member who can afford it. In these situations, a bail bond may be considered. This is purchased through a licensed bail bond agent and costs 10% of the total bail amount. In some cases, the bail bond price may be discounted to as low as 8% if the defendant has already retained the services of a criminal defense attorney or is an active union member.
