What Is A Misdemeanor Bail Bond?
A misdemeanor is a lower-level criminal charge. Common examples in California include a first DUI, petty theft, and simple trespassing. Bail for a misdemeanor is usually lower than for a felony, but it can still be more than a family has on hand.
A misdemeanor bail bond covers that gap. You pay a premium to the bail agency, and the agency guarantees the full bail amount to the court. Your loved one is released and agrees to go to every court date.
Not every misdemeanor arrest needs a bail bond. In California, many people arrested for a misdemeanor are given a citation and released with a date to appear in court. Others are held, for example when the charge involves domestic violence or a protective order, when they cannot be identified, or when they are too intoxicated to be released. If you are not sure which applies, call us. We will tell you honestly whether a bond is needed.
