The focus is on filing correctly the first time and making sure your loved one spends the least amount of time possible behind bars.

How the bond gets filed and what changes once it clears

Once you reach out, an agent will gather the necessary information about the arrest, the charges, and where the person is being held in Martinez. The agent prepares the bond documents, verifies the bail amount with the facility, and submits everything to Contra Costa County on your behalf. Mobile service means you do not need to visit an office to complete any part of this.

After the bond is posted and accepted, the jail begins the release process. Your family member will be able to leave custody and return home while waiting for their court appearance. You will notice that they are no longer waiting in a cell and can resume daily responsibilities, prepare for court with you, and stay connected to work or school.

The agent will also explain the conditions attached to the bond, including court dates that must be attended and any travel restrictions. This service does not provide legal defense or advice on the charges themselves, but it does make sure the release happens as quickly as the system allows. The process moves directly into answering the most common concerns families have before they commit to moving forward.

Questions people ask before they call

Most families calling for the first time want to know how long release takes, what they need to provide, and whether they can afford it without visiting an office.

How long does it take for someone to be released after the bond is posted?
Release time depends on how busy the jail is, but most people leave within a few hours after the bond clears. In some cases, it can take longer if the facility is processing a high volume of releases.
What information do I need to provide to start the bond process?
You will need the full name of the person in custody, their booking number if available, and the name of the jail where they are being held. The agent will use this to verify the charges and bond amount directly with the facility.
What happens if the person misses their court date?
If the court date is missed, the bond can be forfeited and a warrant may be issued. You are responsible for making sure all court appearances are attended as scheduled.
How much does a bail bond cost in Martinez?
California law sets the fee at ten percent of the total bail amount. There are no hidden charges or minimum bond requirements with this service.
Can the bond be arranged without going to an office?
