DUI Bail Bonds in Riverside County

Driving under the influence is one of the most common reasons people are booked in Riverside County. A first misdemeanor DUI is often handled on a posted bail schedule, while a DUI with injury, a high blood alcohol reading, a minor in the car, or a prior conviction can be charged as a felony with a much higher bail.

How bail usually works for dui cases

Every case is different, and the judge can move the number up or down from the county bail schedule based on the facts and the person's record. The points below reflect how these cases typically play out so you know what to expect before you call.

• First time misdemeanor DUI bail in California commonly falls in the lower thousands, while felony DUI can climb to roughly one hundred thousand dollars depending on the facts.
• A judge can raise or lower the scheduled amount, so the booking number is the only way to confirm the real figure.
• DUI arrests often happen late at night or over a weekend, which is exactly when a 24 hour bondsman matters most.
• Getting released quickly lets a person keep working and meet with a defense attorney before the first court date.

DUI cases in Riverside County

In Riverside County, DUI cases are filed quickly and run through the same downtown courts that carry the county's heaviest caseload, with desert arrests heard at the Larson Justice Center in Indio. Getting out fast lets a driver enroll in a DUI program and start the DMV license steps before the first court date, which often matters as much as the criminal case itself.
