Someone Has Been Arrested?
Nobody
is ever prepared for that dreaded phone call. It could come at some
stage during the day, or even in the middle of the night. A loved
one, or very close friend has been arrested, and is begging for your
help. Naturally you want to help them, but how? What do you do?
Who do you call? How does this process start? The first thing to do
is locate a good bail bonds Garden Grove firm.
Once
you've gotten over the initial shock of getting the phone call, it is
important to try to remain as level headed, and as calm as possible.
This person is relying on you for help, and the only way you're going
to be able to do that effectively, is to be able to think with a
clear head. The first thing to do is gather vital information that
will be needed when calling the bail bonds company.
Information
To Gather:
- Defendant's full legal name
- The place they are being held in custody
- What they have been charged with
- Inquire as to whether they have any cash or collateral for the bail bond fee
These
points will be necessary for GRG Bail Bonds to start the release
process faster. By knowing this information, they will be able to
ascertain how much the bail will be, which will then indicate what
fee you will need to pay, and how to arrange it. The sooner this can
be done, the sooner they can post bail on behalf of the defendant and
have them released.
Bail
Bonds fees are always 10% of the total amount of bail. This is
non-refundable, and non-negotiable. The amount a bail bonds company
charges, is mandated by the California Department of Insurance. Some
companies such as GRG Bail Bonds will however, negotiate a workable
payment plan for qualifying clients.
Once the
paperwork has been completed, and the fee paid, or a payment plan
worked out, GRG Bail Bonds will post bail on behalf of the defendant.
The defendant will then be free to return home so they can continue
on with their employment, looking after their family, and also
getting their defense sorted out. They must understand at this point
that there are certain conditions they must adhere to in order to
remain out on bail.
If you
have co-signed on behalf of the defendant, you will also become
responsible for ensuring that they keep all their scheduled court
dates, and any other conditions associated with their bail bond. If
the defendant skips out on their bail, their bail will be revoked, a
warrant issued for their arrest, and the bail bonds company will then
take steps to apprehend them. All costs associated with this will
fall on the defendant, and/or their co-signer.
This is
the basic information that you will need to know when a family
member, or close friend you want to help has been arrested. If you
have any further questions, feel free to contact GRG Bail Bonds on

to answer any questions, or give professional assistance at any time
