If you get the call that someone you love has been arrested it’s likely one of the scariest and most anxiety-induced moments of your life. The first thing you want to do is find out what you can do to help them and how they can be back home as soon as possible. According to California bond laws, if you post bail and agree to return for your trial you can be released from custody and await your impending court case from home. This is much more comfortable for all involved and means you can get the legal help required to help you prepare. While this might sound simple in theory, bail doesn’t come cheap, and the more severe your case, the more expensive it can be.

What is a bail bond?
A bail bond is a financial agreement between a bondsman and a defendant. It's where the bail agency or bondsman will pay the bail on behalf of the defendant so they can be released from jail while they await their trial. Bail can be expensive and put a real financial strain on the accused and their family, with many just not able to afford it upfront. Because of this, bail bonds are there to help get the accused out of jail while awaiting a trial. There are many reasons why being out on bail is important, from the fact it means you can prepare properly for your trial, to being able to spend time with your loved ones while you await the impending court case.
Bail bonds usually require a non-refundable fee to the bail company in exchange for them fronting the money. Bail is essentially insurance to allow you to be out but to incentivize you to attend all of your court dates and adhere to any other terms and conditions of your temporary release. There might be additional terms and conditions between yourself and the bail bond company that you have to keep.
You might also have to promise assets such as your property in the event that you don't adhere to these. Asset bonds might be requested if your bail is very high, if you're a high flight risk, or if you have previous convictions or haven't shown up for court dates in the past. If you follow all the conditions as per the bail bond, you get all of the money back, minus the bail bond fee.
