Are you or your loved ones in trouble with the law? Do you need a Bail Bond? Do you want to save money on a Property Bond?

“You’re under arrest”

            Most of us go through life without ever hearing those words spoken directly to us, but hundreds do hear them daily in California alone.

            If you’re unlucky enough to get arrested and jailed, then your next effort will be to get out of jail as soon as possible.

            Many persons who have been arrested will be eligible for bail.  What is bail?  Bail is money or property pledged as surety – a pledge -- when a person released from jail will appear for a hearing or trial. 

            A judge sets the amount and conditions of bail. So, for example, we’ll hear that bail was set at, say, $10 thousand, or $100 thousand or more.   It could be much more or less, depending on the offense, the seriousness of the crime and the court’s estimate of the risk of flight.  

On the other hand, a solid citizen might be released on “his/her own recognizance” (OR). This depends on a lot of things, past criminal history, previous non-appearances for past traffic tickets or criminal cases.  Violent charges will usually exclude you. Work history and employment history are also big factors.  Is the person’s character such that he or she can be trusted not to flee.
           
               If one posts bail and then flees – “jumps bail for 6 months” – then the collateral is forfeited -- lost.  Then, if one flees and is re-arrested, it is unlikely they will be eligible for bail. Cash bail for the amount of the bond is another way and is returned after the sentencing faze of the case. But most people don’t have a cookie jar that large.

            What this book is about:  Most persons are under the false impression that only a bail bondsman can post bail.  This is not true.  Worse, a bail bondsman may charge as much as $5 thousand for a $50 thousand bail. 

            What if one doesn’t have $5 thousand for bail?  You’ll find the answer here in our book.  

It’s the law.  In California, there is a way to post bail and save thousands of dollars in the process.  By following the instructions in this book, one could post a $50 thousand bail for as little as $500.

Few persons know this, but California Penal Code Section § 1298 allows one to post the equity in real estate or certain types of bonds directly to the courts. 

Author E.T. Snell, with his 30 years of experience, tells you just how to do it and provides all the forms and step-by-step instruction that you, a friend, family member or attorney needs to post bond without the aid of a bail bondsman.  No one wants to ever hear those chilling words, “You’re under arrest,” but if you or family member does hear them, you will be better prepared to post bail and save thousands of dollars in the process with this book.
