Do you know what you should do or who you should call if your loved one has been arrested?
The first step for the family of an arrestee is usually to call a bail bonding company like All American Bail Bonds in Santa Clarita, who can connect you with one of their licensed bail agents to walk you through the process.
“We understand it’s often a confusing and stressful situation for the loved ones of an arrestee,” said Inessa Chavez, vice president of All American Bail Bonds in Santa Clarita. “Our bail agents are available 24-7 to answer all of your questions and help you get your loved one released from jail as fast as possible.”

Experienced and knowledgeable bail agents should always be able to answer the following questions on the spot:
- What happens now?
- How long will it take to get my loved one out?
- How much will this cost?
- Are payment plans available?
- What kind of collateral can I offer? What kind of collateral do you take?
- Is my loved one able to be bailed out?
- What happens after they are bailed out?
- What should we do in the meantime?
“A bail agent will be able to find out what your loved one’s bail has been set at,” Chavez explained. “In the state of California, the indemnitor– the person undertaking the bail for their loved one –pays only 10 percent of the total cost of the bail amount to the bail bonding company.”

Sometimes collateral may also be required, and it can often be used to help lower the payments for individuals who qualify for payment plans.
“At All American Bail Bonds in Santa Clarita, we can help determine if you qualify for one of our payment plans or rebate options,” Chavez said. “We’re here to help.”
Once the payment has been addressed and the proper documentation has been signed, the bail agent will post the bond at the jail where the arrestee is being held, like the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station, and the arrestee will be released pending the outcome of their case.
“A bail bond represents your promise that the defendant will be at all of their required court appearances, including their judgment day,” Chavez said. “Before choosing a bail bonding company, always make sure that the company’s bail agents are properly licensed. You want to work with a bail agent who is professional, knowledgeable and empathetic to your situation.”
