The Bail Bond Team the Central District Trusts Most
The City describes Civic Center Plaza as near the library, City Hall and the courthouse. If your relative’s case goes to Pomona Courthouse South at 400 Civic Center Plaza, expect five things from our agents.
The court and the surety company receive only what the bond requires. Our agents keep the rest of your file closed and discuss the case with the people who signed the contract. Relatives outside the contract hear what you choose to tell them.
Our agents ask the bond questions and keep their opinions to themselves. They call your relative by name rather than by the charge. A first misdemeanor or a felony gets the same courtesy, and we stay focused on getting them home.
If bail is new to your family, ask as many questions as you need. Our agent defines each term. The premium is the fee for the bond, and collateral is property a signer pledges to back it, returned under the contract after the case.
You apply by phone, and we send the contract for e-signature. A cosigner living in another city can sign the same night. Our agent stays on the line while you read, so you can ask about any clause before you accept.
Once booking finishes, our agent calls you, then calls again after we post the bond. On each call, the agent tells you where things stand and what comes next, in English or Spanish. After release, we review the first court date with you.
Call (888) 998-9511 any hour, and an agent will tell you for free if the charge needs a bond.

For money bail, you choose between a bond, which costs a 10% premium, and a cash deposit of the full amount. Some cases carry no bail at all, such as a minor in juvenile court.
Cash bail means paying the full amount at the Pomona Courthouse South cashier (Penal Code 1295) or the jail (Penal Code 1269b). If your relative makes every court date, you reclaim it with the receipt. Only a defendant’s own deposit goes toward fines.
Police place a minor in temporary custody under Welfare and Institutions Code 625, with no bail amount attached. A probation officer, or a judge at a detention hearing, decides release, and a bond applies only after a transfer to adult court.
Misdemeanor DUI (Vehicle Code 23152) is Book and Release, with no bond. Plain injury DUI (Vehicle Code 23153) goes to Magistrate Review: no bond before arraignment. Great bodily injury, if alleged, means a serious felony with money bail, so we can post a bond.
Serious and violent felonies fall outside $0 release. Most carry money bail on the 2026 schedule, but residential burglary with no one home goes to Magistrate Review: a magistrate may hold your relative until arraignment, grant own-recognizance release or set non-financial conditions.
Domestic battery, Penal Code 243(e)(1), sits on the Penal Code 1270.1 list, which rules out a $0 release before arraignment. The options are the scheduled bail, by bond or cash, or an open-court hearing that needs two court days’ notice.
The judge who signs a warrant endorses a bail amount on it under Penal Code 815a, and county zero-bail rules reach only warrantless arrests. We write a walk-through bond before your relative surrenders, so no one arranges bail after booking.
Four Simple Steps to Bail Out in the Central District
Bailing someone out after a Central District arrest takes four steps. The first is free: our agent looks up the charge in the county’s Pre-Arraignment Release Protocol, since many charges on it carry $0 bail.
Call with your relative’s full name and date of birth; a booking number helps if the jail shared one. Pomona police hold people arrested here at the department’s jail, and our agent checks the charge before you hang up.
Once bail applies, the indemnitor, meaning the person who signs and guarantees court appearances, answers questions about work and home by phone. We can approve you during that call. You owe nothing until you read the contract and accept it.
As indemnitor, you promise that your relative will make every court date. The premium is 10% of the bail: $35,000 bail means a $3,500 premium. Qualifying clients put a low down payment toward it and pay the balance under a written payment plan.
We file the bond at the jail, and the release is up to jail staff; in our experience it has taken two to six hours. If your relative lands in county custody, the timing belongs to the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department.

Common Questions About Bail Bonds in the Central District
The full $500, paid at the court or the jail. If your relative made every court date, the court refunds whoever posted it; only the defendant’s own deposit can cover fines. A bond’s 10% premium is $50, subject to any filed minimum, and it is refundable only after a surrender.
Only if a judge lowers it. Days in custody alone do not shrink the amount. If your relative stays in jail because no one can post bail, Penal Code 1270.2 gives them an automatic review within five days of the order setting it, where the judge can reduce it.
In most cases, no. Juvenile court sets no bail amount. If probation keeps the child, Welfare and Institutions Code 631 requires release within 48 hours, excluding weekends and court holidays, unless the prosecutor files a petition. A judge then decides release at the detention hearing. Adult-court transfer is the exception.
Yes, apart from what the law requires, such as a court order. Our agents use the work and home details from your application only to write the bond and manage the contract. If an employer or neighbor calls asking about the arrest, they get nothing from us.
Not for debt (California Constitution, article I, section 10), but Penal Code 1300 lets the agent surrender your relative. If they kept every court date and order, a court finding no good cause can order a refund. Skipping court on felony bail to evade the court is a felony (Penal Code 1320.5).
Until the court exonerates it, which means the court releases the bond at the end of the case. A long case at Pomona Courthouse South costs no extra: Penal Code 1276.1 has banned renewal premiums since January 1, 2022, so you pay one premium for the life of the bond.
All three: 91766, 91767 and 91768. In the Central District, City Hall at 505 S. Garey Ave. and the library at 625 S. Garey Ave. both carry 91766 addresses. Outside Pomona, we post bonds throughout Los Angeles County and at West Valley Detention Center in San Bernardino County.
