San Gabriel Bail Bonds FAQs :
01
What are bail bonds?
​
They are also known as a Surety Bonds, they are basically a contract that you would sign with us at Bail Bonds San Dimas. This contract states that the bail agent will pay the full bail amount to the court and if the arrestee fails to appear at court, the bail agent will be responsible for the money. Always make sure you deal with a licensed Bail Bond company.
02
What happens when someone is arrested?

What happens when someone is arrested depends on the location of arrest. They will usually be taken to the local police station for booking and processing. Once at the police station, the arrestee will have their photo taken, their belongings confiscated, and the defendant will undergo a fingerprinting process. Inmates can choose to wait to their court date in jail or they could be bailed out of jail through a bail bond. If they choose to wait for trial in jail, they will usually stay up to 48 hours until the court date, but if they choose to be bailed out, then they will get a much later court date.
