Understanding Domestic Violence Bail 

Domestic violence is a term that covers several offenses relating to power abuse, coercion, or violence against an individual that you have a domestic relationship with. This could include a spouse or blood relatives. 

Some of the most common offenses that fall into this category are domestic battery, spousal abuse, and corporal injury of a cohabitant. It is estimated that 10 million Americans experience either physical, emotional, or sexual DV crimes each year. While most cases are misdemeanors, they can be classed as a felony too.

When arrested for a domestic violence charge in San Diego, a bail hearing will be used to determine whether the defendant is eligible for bail and, if so, set a bail fee. Generally speaking, misdemeanor DV charges will have bail set between $5,000 and $25,000 while felonies will be $50,000+. The money is returned (minus court fees) after the trial unless the defendant breaks their bail terms, in which case all funds are surrendered to the courts. Alternatively, they can post bail through property, although any assets must be valued to be worth at least twice the value of the cash bail figure. 

By posting bail, the defendant will be allowed to stay out of jail (as long as they meet their bail conditions and attend their hearings) until their trial. If they do not post bail, they will have to remain in custody until the trial arrives. This can take up to 30 days for a misdemeanor, which is still long enough to cause significant damage to your personal and professional life.

If the goal is to get back to normality and prepare a case with help from a dedicated local DV attorney, posting bail is the best solution.

Domestic Violence Bail Bonds Explained 

Most defendants will agree that posting bail is the superior choice over remaining in custody, not least because the bail process is not influenced by the likely trial verdict. However, finding $5,000 or more isn’t an easy task, especially when you’re in custody. Domestic violence bail bonds provide an alternative solution, thus allowing you to overcome cash flow issues and avoid the need to sell assets to fund your release.

When working with a DV bail bondsman, a streamlined process can help you secure your release within a matter of hours. This is especially true when partnering with King Stahlman Bail Bonds, who has good connections with all prisons and jails across California’s 58 counties. The streamlined process is as follows;

  • You pay a one-off fee (premium) that is equivalent to 10% of the total cash bail amount - or arrange a repayment plan with your bail bondsman.
  • The bail bondsman calls the jail and informs them that they will take responsibility for the defendant’s bail and pay the full bail amount.
  • The jail will confirm the payment and release you (or your loved one) from custody after explaining the terms of bail.

Domestic violence bail bonds offer a cost-effective and convenient solution that delivers quick results. The expertise of your bail bondsman ensures that you are released within hours. Meanwhile, it is an opportunity to turn a $5,000 financial liability into a $500 one. As long as you meet the bail conditions, there will be no hidden costs or charges either.

Whether you’re the defendant or acting on behalf of a loved one in custody, domestic violence bail bonds are a practical solution.
