Felony bail bonds

Felony Bail Bonds in Riverside County

Felony bail in California can reach six figures, which puts paying cash out of reach for most families. The size of the bail does not have to mean indefinite custody, and a felony bond spreads that cost into something manageable.

How bail usually works for felony 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.

• Felony bail commonly starts in the tens of thousands and climbs from there based on the charge.
• Serious and violent felony allegations can run well into six figures.
• Even on a large bond, the state regulated premium stays at 10 percent of the total.
• Posting the bond lets a person prepare a defense from home rather than from a cell.

Felony cases in Riverside County

Felony arraignments in Riverside County are typically held within a few court days of booking, and bail on serious or violent counts can climb well into six figures. A felony bond turns that number into a premium a family can actually manage, so a defendant prepares a defense from home instead of waiting weeks in custody.
