When you learn that a loved one has been arrested, the first thing to do is stay calm. Panicking won't help the situation, and you'll need a clear head to navigate the process.
Find out where your loved one is being held. In San Diego County, arrestees are typically taken to one of several detention facilities depending on where the arrest occurred.
Contact a bail bondsman as soon as possible. The sooner you begin the bail process, the sooner your loved one can be released. We're available 24/7 at King Stahlman Bail Bonds.
Gather important information including the defendant's full legal name, date of birth, booking number, and the charges they're facing. This information will be needed to process the bail bond.
Remember that your loved one has rights, including the right to remain silent and the right to an attorney. Advise them not to discuss their case with anyone except their lawyer.
