4 Signs of a High-Quality, Reliable Bail Bonds Service in California
You’ve already been arrested which is a traumatic experience all on its own. The last thing you need is to trust your immediate future to a bail bonds agency that isn’t interested in what’s best for you. When it comes to a California bail bond agency, it pays to spend a little time shopping around and choosing the one that has a reputation for providing reliable, high-quality service.
There are several things you can look at that indicate you’re dealing with a high-quality bail bonds agency.
Free Consultations
Never enter into a contract with a bail bonds agency that isn’t willing to provide you with a free consultation. This consultation is extremely important. Not only does it provide you with an opportunity to ask questions, but you’ll also learn about how payments work, what happens if you fail to adhere to the conditions set for your bail, find out quickly you’ll get out of jail, and the cost of the bail bond. Don’t be surprised if the bail bonds expert on the other side of the consultation also wants to get to know you and decide if you are a good business risk.
Payment Plans
Some bail bond agencies expect their 10% fee upfront which is fine if you have the money to do so. If you don’t have enough money, you’ll want to look for a bail bonds agency that has created payment programs that are flexible enough to accommodate your financial situation. The various payment options should be discussed during the free consultation.
A Clear Contract
When you sign a contract with the bail bonds agency, you should know exactly what you’re getting from the deal. The contract should be straightforward and easy to understand. All reputable bail bonds agencies will ask you to sign a contract before you make your first payment.
Fast Releases
There shouldn’t be a long lag between you signing the contract and getting out of jail. The bail bond agent you speak to during the consultation should be able to tell you approximately how long it will be before you’re free to go home and be with your loved ones. While outstanding customer service and
good communication is important, which is why you should only work with a bail bond agency that is committed to providing the best customer service possible.

Bail Bonds for California Misdemeanors
As a rule, getting charged with a misdemeanor isn’t as bad as getting charged with a felony, but it’s still not fun. Unless you’re lucky enough to be released on your own recognizance, after you’ve been charged and formally arrested, you’ll need to post bail money. There are two ways of doing this. The first is to come up with the funds on your own and pay the entire bail. The other option is figuring out how to pay a 10% fee to a local bail bonds agency. Most people opt to use the bail bonds agency’s services.
One of the good things about getting charged with a misdemeanor instead of a felony is that the bail is usually a bit smaller than if you were facing felony charges. The only issue is that smaller doesn’t mean easily affordable. It’s not unusual for a person to need a $5,000 bail for a simple misdemeanor charge. Few of us have an extra $5,000 on hand. After all, it’s not like you planned on getting arrested.
The good news is that if you’re unable to cover the entire bail amount set for your misdemeanor charges, you still have the option of contacting Porterville Bail Bonds. We’re both ready and willing to help you out.
