Frank S. Calabretta’s Bail House Bail Bonds believes that keeping customers fully informed about how bail and bail bonds work is one of the most important aspects of a bail agent’s job. Here are answers to questions our customers commonly ask about bail, bail bonds, and the function of a bail agent:
A bail bond is a way to pay bail when family or friends of someone who has been arrested do not have enough money to pay the entire bail amount. Surety companies provide bail bonds, which is a type of insurance policy, which guarantees payment of the entire bail amount in case a defendant does not appear for scheduled court dates. Bail bonds are available through a licensed bail bondsman such as Frank S. Calabretta’s Bail House Bail Bonds.
A bail bond obtained through a licensed bail agent such as Frank S. Calabretta’s Bail House Bail Bonds costs 10 percent of the bail amount. California Department of Insurance sets this percentage, known as the “premium”.
