213-814-0524By this point, you’ve probably gone through a bunch of different bail bonds websites, and they’re all starting to sound the same. There are many Los Angeles bail bonds agents in Southern California, but none have the extensive history of Angels Bail Bonds.
We know this isn’t an easy time for you and the stress of picking between different bail bonds services is only adding to your burden.
We’d like to make your life easier by providing you a hassle-free bail bonds experience like we have done for thousands of families all over Los Angeles and Orange County, during the last 50 years.
While any bail agent can get your friend or loved one out of jail, not everyone offers the same level of compassionate service and competitive terms that we offer.
Don’t just take our word for it on faith alone. Here’s what some of our satisfied customers have said about our bail bonds service:
If this is the first time you’re using a bail bondsman you probably have a lot of questions about how the process works.
Let us take you step by step inside a typical case that we deal with in 2017.
STEP 1. The defendant gets arrested for domestic violence, which is a $50,000 bail as set by the judge.
STEP 2. The defendant’s family member doesn’t know that when he calls us. They just know that he was at home when he got arrested.
STEP 3. Using the information we have, we are able to find out where the defendant was arrested and how much his bail would be. The family member wants to bail him out and asks how much it will cost.
STEP 4. The cost of the bond is 10% of the total bail amount, as regulated by the California Department of Insurance. For this bond, it would cost $5,000. This is a non-refundable fee that is paid to the bondsman for the service of guaranteeing the full $50,000 with the court.
When a bail bondsman in Los Angeles gets someone out of jail, they become liable for the full amount of the bail bond to the court. If the person we bail out of jail doesn’t go to court then we are liable for paying the full amount of the bond to the court.

For this reason, we require an idemnitor to sign on behalf of the defendant guaranteeing that they will make all of their court appearances.
STEP 5. We ask the family member a few questions about the defendant, like what he does for work and where he lives. We believe that this is a good client for us so we go ahead with the bond.
STEP 6. The family member asks us if he can split the cost of the bond between two credit cards, which we tell them, yes we can. We meet them at the jail where we fill out some paperwork and receive payment for the bond.
STEP 7. We drive down to the jail and post the bond with the jail clerk. The defendant was arrested in Santa Ana and sent to the Orange County jail there. It sometimes takes up to 8 hours to be released from the OC County jail. If he was arrested at a smaller jail it could be as quick as 15 minutes. The Los Angeles County Jail takes about the same amount of time.
STEP 8. At this point our service is complete and it is the defendant’s responsibility to appear in court and find adequate legal representation.
The court appearance is typically set for 45 days from the time of the arrest. At this time John will either enter a plea of guilty or not guilty.
With a plea of guilty, the bond will be exonerated and all parties will be freed from the obligations of the bail agreement. With a not guilty plea, the case will still be pending and the Los Angeles bail bond will stay in effect until the case is resolved, or exonerated by the judge for another reason.
Most issues that arise can be resolved with a simple phone call, and only in exceptionally rare cases, does an indemnitor have to pay the full cost of the bond. Know your rights.
In these cases, the defendant is released with a written promise to appear in court without requiring bail.
If the case is not resolved within a year a new bail bond will have to be filed with the court. This is a separate transaction and requires the bail premium to be paid again.
With larger bond amounts the source of the funds must be verified to determine that it comes from legal sources.
Once the case has been resolved the money is returned. Very few people choose to go this route though because they don’t have the full bail amount sitting around that they can leave with the court for the long months it takes to resolve the case in court.
They will have reduced access to legal counsel and will have to rely on the court-appointed lawyer, to defend them in court. They will be brought to their court appearance wearing jail attire.
