Arrests Happen Any Hour of the Day

Round-the-clock bail bond service in Martinez for urgent situations that need immediate action.

Arrests do not wait for business hours, and neither should your access to help. When someone is taken into custody late at night or early in the morning in Martinez, you need an agent who is already awake, already licensed, and already familiar with after-hours procedures at Contra Costa County facilities. 1st Choice Bail Bonds operates around the clock so families can begin the release process the moment they learn about the arrest, not hours later when an office opens.

This service is built for speed during emergencies. Agents respond to calls at any time, gather the necessary information over the phone, and file the bond paperwork without waiting for morning shifts to start. Whether the arrest happens on a weekend, a holiday, or in the middle of the night, the process moves forward immediately. Mobile agents can meet you wherever is most convenient in Martinez, so you do not have to drive across town or wait in an office lobby.

If someone you know was just arrested in Martinez, contact 1st Choice Bail Bonds now to begin the release process without waiting.

What happens when you call after hours

When you call at two in the morning or on a Sunday afternoon, a licensed agent answers and begins collecting the details needed to post the bond. This includes the name of the person in custody, the facility where they are being held in Martinez, and the charges listed on the booking report. The agent contacts the jail directly to confirm the bail amount and verify that the bond can be posted immediately.

Once the paperwork is filed and accepted, the jail begins processing the release. Your family member will leave custody and return home instead of waiting until the next business day. You will notice that they are no longer stuck in a cell overnight and can begin preparing for their court date with legal counsel and family support.

The service operates statewide, but Martinez-area calls receive prioritized response times due to the proximity of the agents. This does not include legal representation or advice on the charges, but it does mean the bond is posted as soon as the jail is ready to accept it. Families often ask how the process differs from daytime service and what delays might still occur during off-hours.

Concerns families have about calling late at night

People calling after hours want to know if the process takes longer, if agents are actually available, and whether the bond will be processed before morning.

How quickly can someone be released if I call at midnight?
Release time depends on how busy the jail is, but the bond is posted immediately once the agent verifies the details. Most people leave custody within a few hours after the paperwork clears.
What if the jail does not process bonds after a certain time?
Some facilities slow down overnight, but the bond is still filed as soon as possible so your family member is first in line when processing resumes. The agent will tell you if a delay is expected.
How do I pay for the bond if it is the middle of the night?
Payment can be arranged over the phone or through a mobile meeting. Agents accept multiple payment methods and will work with you to complete everything remotely.
Why would I need a bail bond agent instead of posting cash bail?
Posting the full bail amount in cash ties up a large sum of money until the case is resolved. A bail bond costs a percentage of the total and allows you to keep more cash available for legal fees and other expenses.
What areas does the service cover outside of Martinez?
1st Choice Bail Bonds operates throughout California, but response times are fastest in Contra Costa County and surrounding areas. Agents can travel to other counties if needed.
