Call before you drive anywhere
Call before posting when an immigration detainer may apply. With 30 years serving Greater Los Angeles, Hutch can confirm the facility, amount, and right bond system while you are on the phone.
Hutch explains the custody fork and can provide free immigration-bond information. He is not an immigration attorney or California immigration consultant.
Legal strategy, eligibility, and immigration consequences belong with qualified counsel. The bond is a financial guarantee for required appearances.
Price and written terms
California sureties file rates with the Department of Insurance. Consumer cost is most commonly 10% of court-set bail plus actual necessary reasonable expenses. Plans are on approval, military discounts apply where the written program allows, and most qualifying criminal files do not require collateral.
Premiums are generally earned when the defendant is released and are not refunded merely because charges later drop, subject to limited surrender rules and the written agreement. Hutch explains the number and terms before money moves.
Start by phone. Finish online.
After Hutch qualifies the file, he can send secure payment and e-sign links so paperwork can be completed from a phone. Posting begins the release process; the detention facility controls the timing.
