When posting bail on behalf of a loved one in the State of California, there are several options at your disposal. However, online bail bonds courtesy of King Stahlman’s bail bondsman services are the best choice in many situations.
Our experts appreciate that this is a traumatic experience for all parties involved, as well as your need for a practical and prompt solution. Our online bail bonds can be used in San Diego or the surrounding areas while they also provide a modern approach that delivers convenience for you and a fast release for your loved one.
How Do Online Bail Bonds Work?
Before looking at the steps of how to bail someone out of jail online, it’s important to understand how it works. The fundamentals are essentially the same as using a traditional bail bondsman service, meaning that the following steps will be taken;
- Following an arrest, the courts and judge will determine the bail fee needed to secure the defendant’s release from jail.
- The defendant or a loved one contacts the bail bondsman, explains the situation, and arranges a payment for a fee equivalent to 10% of the bail amount.
- A bail bondsman will contact the jail where the defendant is currently incarcerated and agree to pay the full bail fee.
- The prison will release the defendant, who will be free to enjoy normal life until their trial date unless they break the bail conditions.
- After the trial has concluded the bail fee (minus court handling fees) is returned to the bondsman.
Online bail bonds are a financial surety that may be used for the same list of charges as traditional bondsman services, ranging from domestic violence to DUIs or restraining order violations. It means that you can secure a release from jail even when you don’t have the cash to pay a multi-thousand-dollar cash bail fee while also avoiding the hassle of having
funds tied up with the courts for several months.
The key difference is that everything is done online, meaning you won’t be required to travel to the bail bondsman’s offices.
Why Opt For Online Bail Bonds?
Acknowledging the possibility of posting bail through an online bondsman is one thing, but knowing whether it is the right choice for you is another. Ultimately, there are several potential benefits to be gained from taking this path, including but not limited to;
- Convenience: you can post bail on behalf of a loved one from the comfort of your home or from vacation. There is no need to visit our offices.
- Speed: the online bail bonds process is streamlined to help you complete your duties in a matter of minutes, even if you need our guidance during the process.
- 24/7 access: you don’t have to worry about the bondsman offices being closed as everything is handled online by a team that’s available 24/7.
- Savings: the fact you don’t have to travel to the bondsman's office also saves you money on fuel, parking, or public transport.
- Quick release: crucially, the streamlined nature of online bail bonds can allow your loved one to get out of custody within hours.
Online bail bonds also remove any ambiguity as you will have all information, including repayment details, in clear text. As well as providing convenience for you, it makes it very easy to provide transparency to the defendant upon their release.
