Understanding Bail Bonds
Why Do You Need A Bail Bond Service?
The amount you need to pay in bail can depend on a variety of factors including:
• Previous experience • Any record of skipping bail • The severity of the crime • Your position in the local community
As such, you might need to pay a large figure to get out of jail. It's entirely possible that the bail amount is more than you can afford. Particularly, at short notice. Indeed, it's not uncommon for a bail amount to be set anywhere between $5,000 and $100,000. If you are worried about this, then we recommend that you do consider using a bail bond service. With a bail bond service, a bail company will pay the full amount of your bail. That means that you don't have to worry about getting the funds together.

What To Expect From A Bail Bond Service
When you contact a bail bond company in San Diego, they will begin working with you immediately and help ensure that you receive a speedy solution. If you are calling about a loved one, then we can also use our expertise to track them down in the legal system if you are not sure where they are being held. Issues locating a loved one can lead to delays and mean that they need to remain in jail for longer than necessary.
People often assume that you can only pay bail in person. However, this is not the case. With a professional bail bond service, you can pay bail from anywhere. You can choose to pay online, on the phone, or in person at one of our offices. If you are not in the local area, then we can send one of our professional bondsmen to the jail to ensure that things go smoothly and your loved one does get out of jail as quickly as possible without any unnecessary delays. Paying bail may seem like a complicated experience. However, we are here to help and will guarantee that there are no unnecessary delays or confusion for you along this journey.
Why Use A Bail Bond Service
Using a bail bond service is often the quickest and easiest way to get out of jail. If you are stuck in jail for a longer period than necessary, then it can impact your ability to put together the best legal defense. Your defense will be contingent on you having multiple meetings with your legal counsel. If you are stuck in jail, then this is only going to be possible during visiting hours, which is the last thing that you will want.
Another point to consider is the emotional stress of remaining in jail. Many people do find being stuck in jail incredibly stressful. It can impact both your physical and mental health overtime. One of the ways to avoid issues here is by making sure that a loved one never feels as though they are lost or abandoned. By getting their bail dealt with as quickly as possible, you can make sure that they return to their family where they belong, while they await their court hearing.
As mentioned, we can also help you find a loved one who you think may have been arrested and who needs support getting out of jail.

Frequently Asked Questions
Get answers to the most common questions about bail bonds and the release process.
In California, bail bond premiums are set by law at 10% of the total bail amount. For example, if bail is set at $50,000, the bail bond fee would be $5,000. This fee is non-refundable and is the cost of the bail bond service.
Release times vary by facility and time of day. At smaller jails, release can happen within 1-4 hours. Larger facilities like Central Jail may take 6-12 hours. We work as fast as possible to expedite the process.
Not always. King Stahlman offers no collateral bail bonds for qualified applicants. We understand that putting up your home or car can be stressful, and we work to find solutions that don't require collateral whenever possible.
