Making the Bail Process Easy for Alta Sierra Inmates and Families

At Bail House Bail Bonds, our knowledgeable agents make the bail process fast and hassle-free for both inmates and their families. You can arrange a loved one’s release from jail without ever leaving your home or office. We handle every detail of the bail process for those arrested in Alta Sierra, providing a smooth and efficient experience. For your convenience, we accept various payment methods, including cash, personal checks, money orders, and all major credit cards.

Step 1

Call Us

To get started, our bail agent will need some key information about the case—such as where the person is being held, how long they've been in custody, and the charges they're facing. Nevada County Jail is conveniently located just one mile from our Nevada City office.

Step 2

Sign Paperwork

If the defendant has no government-imposed restrictions and we determine they are likely to appear in court, you’ll be able to move forward with purchasing the bail bond. At this stage, you’ll complete and sign the necessary paperwork to finalize the process. This ensures a smooth release and increases the likelihood of the defendant attending their court date.

Step 3

Bail is Posted

A licensed bail bond agent will file the bond at the appropriate jail or detention center, taking care of all required paperwork and ensuring it’s properly submitted to the court. This typically takes between 20 minutes and 2 hours, depending on the facility’s procedures and the time of day. Once the bond is accepted, the release process begins, and the defendant can return home.

How Does Bail Work?

To secure the release of someone from jail in Alta Sierra before their court date, bail must be posted. The bail amount is determined by the court during the arraignment and serves as a financial guarantee that the accused will return for future court appearances. With a bail bond, you can help a friend or loved one get released without paying the full bail amount upfront.

At Bail House, we handle the entire bail process for you. By law, the cost of a bail bond—known as the premium—is 10% of the total bail and must be paid in advance. For instance, if bail is set at $10,000, the premium would be $1,000. Our licensed agents post the bond with the court, assuming responsibility for the full bail amount if the defendant fails to appear. Once the bond is accepted, we coordinate the release of your friend or family member as quickly as possible.

"As a parent, there is one phone call you never want to receive. I immediately called my lawyer and he suggested Melissa Z at the Bail house. I must say, that was the best and most calming phone call. Thank you so much Melissa for your kind words and quick response to my panic attack. With your services, my son was home within a few hours. You even called back to check on him which was simply amazing. I was completely out of my depth so I am very thankful for your services. Quick, reasonable, and effective. If you ever find yourself in this type of situation - this company should be your first phone call."
