How San Clemente bail bonds work

The first step in getting someone out of one of the San Clemente Jail is to contact us as soon as possible. You’ll be asked to provide some basic information about the defendant including when they were arrested, what their charges are and how much their bail is. If you don’t have all of this information on hand, that’s OK.  We can look that up for you in a matter of minutes.  Once we know the charges and their bail amount we can help you get started with the bail bond application. 

When you cosign for a defendant, your number one responsibility is making sure the defendant attends all of their required court hearings until their case is over. You’re also taking responsibility for payment of the bail bonds fee. This will be explained to you in detail before you agree to sign.

Things to know about San Clemente bail bonds fees

The cost to purchase bail bonds in Orange County, CA will be 8% or 10% of the defendant’s total bail amount.  If bail has been set at $10,000 the fee to hire a bondsman (also known as the premium) will be either $800 or $1,000. If the defendant’s bail has been set at $20,000 the San Clemente bail bonds premium will be either $1,600 or $2,000.

You’ll want to keep in mind that the bail bond premium is non-refundable and it’s not something that will be returned in part, or in full, regardless as to what happens with the defendant’s case.

Our company accepts many forms of payment including debit and credit cards, cash, cashier’s checks and in some cases, personal checks.  Payment plans are available on approved credit.  Free bail bonds consultations are available 24-hours a day.

What to look for in a San Clemente bondsman

If this is the first time you’ve needed to hire bondsman you are probably unfamiliar with how bail works or what questions you should ask the San Clemente bondsman during your initial call. 

The most important thing you’ll want to look for in an Orange County bondsman is professionalism, experience and reliability.  Bail Bond Professionals has been serving the Orange County area since 1989. Our nearly three decades of experience will help ensure your loved one gets out of jail as quickly as possible.

Experience matters. Call our office now to learn why we’ve been ranked the #1 Orange County bail bonds service provider.

If your loved one calls you from inside one of the Orange County jails, you’ll want to do your best to remain calm.  You will also want to remember that all outbound calls from the jails are recorded, and anything the defendant says could potentially be used against them in court if their case goes to trial.

When you speak with the defendant ask for them to provide only the basics: when were they arrested, where were they arrested, how much is their bail, what are their charges and is there anyone they need you to call.  Do they need to be called off work?  Do they have children that need to be picked up from school or daycare?

Let them know you’re doing everything you can to help get them out of jail fast.  You may also want to let them know that it is not unusual for the arrest and booking process to take several hours.  Not only do they need to be interviewed, have their mugshots and fingerprints taken and have their information entered into the system, the jail will also check them for outstanding warrants.

The warrant check often takes 4 to 6 hours to complete and no one is allowed to post bail bonds for a San Clemente arrest before the warrant results are returned to the jailer.

You’ll also want to keep in mind that much like there is a process to book someone into the system, the jail has another process that they need to undergo before a defendant will be released from custody. On average, defendants will be released from jail between 4 and 6 hours after their bail bond are posted.

It's not at all unusual for someone to be at the Orange County Jail for 8 to 12 hours in total, from the time they get booked in to the time they are released.

If you have questions about how bail bonds in Orange County work, we can help.  Call our office 24-hours a day, 365-days a year to speak with an experienced, professional, local bondsman.  All calls are handled with the utmost confidentiality and we are happy to provide free bail bonds consultations at any time, day or night.
