Cheap Bail Bonds Sacramento

According to California Penal Code Section 1269b, it is the responsibility of the superior court judges in each and every county to prepare, adopt, and annually revise a uniform countywide schedule of bail for all bailable felony offenses and for all misdemeanor and infraction offenses except Vehicle Code infractions. The schedule for Sacramento County can be viewed here.

By law, no bail bondsman or agency may charge a fee of more than 10% of the total amount of bail posted. A bail agency is, however, permitted to offer discounts off that rate.

The process of arranging bail is defined by state and county stautes and by requirements of the financial and insurance institutions that service the bail bond agencies. Professionals who know how to navigate that maze of laws and requirements work hard to earn their pay. They have in-depth training and years of experience that they use to get defendants out of jail. While some agencies, including Atlantis Bail Bonds here in Sacramento, offer discounts, if you encounter one whose rates seem too cheap, you might want to look elsewhere.

At Atlantis Bail Bonds we have discounts for clients who have current status as members of any labor union, have Active Duty status in any branch of the United States armed forces, are AARP members, or have already retained an attorney prior to contacting us. Clients who fit into any of these four groups get a 20% discount off the standard rate and will be charged only 8%. For defendants facing serious criminal charges, such a discount could save thousands of dollars.

If you have a friend or relative who is in custody on a felony charge, there could be complications (possibly even a 1275 hold) in the process of arranging bail. This is a situation in which you should choose your bail agency carefully.

We have extensive professional contacts at all levels of the court system and know the specific details of the process. Whether the bail amount is large or small, regardless of any complications (including a 1275 hold) that may arise, we attend to all the details in the shortest amount of time that the system will permit.
