• Sex crimes: Sexual assault, child molestation, sex trafficking
• Weapons charges: Illegal possession of firearms, weapons trafficking

1. Initial consultation: Call us 24/7 at 714-872-9261. We'll gather information about the arrest, charges, and the defendant's situation.
2. Bail determination: We'll find out the bail amount set by the court and explain your options.
3. Premium payment: In California, bail bond companies charge 10% of the total bail amount as a non-refundable premium.

5. Paperwork: Complete the indemnitor agreement and other required documents.
6. Bond posting: Our agent will post the bond at the jail facility.
7. Release: The defendant will be released, typically within hours of bond posting.

Collateral for Felony Bail Bonds

Due to the higher bail amounts associated with felony charges, collateral is often required. Acceptable forms of collateral include:

• Real estate (homes, land, commercial property)
• Vehicles (cars, boats, motorcycles)
• Bank accounts and certificates of deposit
• Jewelry and precious metals
• Stocks and bonds
• Other valuable assets

Collateral is returned once the case is concluded and all court appearances are satisfied, regardless of the case outcome. If the defendant fails to appear in court, the collateral may be forfeited.

Requirements for Felony Bail Bonds

To obtain a felony bail bond, you'll need to provide:

• Defendant's full name, date of birth, and booking number

Court Appearances Are Mandatory

It's critical to understand that when released on a felony bail bond, the defendant MUST appear at all scheduled court dates. Missing a court appearance for a felony charge can result in:

• Immediate arrest warrant
• Forfeiture of the bail bond
• Loss of collateral
• Additional criminal charges
• Difficulty obtaining future bail

We provide court date reminders and support to help ensure compliance with all court requirements.

The Difference Between Felonies and Misdemeanors

Understanding the distinction is important:

• Felonies: Punishable by more than one year in state prison, higher bail amounts, more serious consequences
• Misdemeanors: Punishable by up to one year in county jail, lower bail amounts, less severe penalties

Some crimes can be charged as either a felony or misdemeanor depending on circumstances. These are called "wobblers" in California law.
