The judges of each county set bail amounts for each offense and publish a
Bail Schedule. When a person is arrested and booked into the jail a Deputy
will utilize the bail bonds schedule to determine the bail amount required
for a defendant's release.
A bail bond is an Insurance Policy that is posted at the jail for the release
of a person from custody. The bond is held by the court and is guaranteed by Contra
Costa Bail Bonds and the individual(s) paying for bail
(Indemnitor/Co-signer). The Bail Bonds Agency guarantees to the court that
the defendant will appear in court each and every time the Judge requires
them to until the case is over.
The amount of time the jail takes to process the bail bond varies with the workload
at the jail, the size of the jail, and many other factors outside the control of the Contra Costa Bail Bonds. Once the bail bond is posted at the jail, we will contact you
to advise the approximate timeline to post bail and for the defendant's release. For
security reasons, no jail facility will give an actual time for a person's release
on bail.
Is there a refund of bail bonds if the case is dismissed or the defendant is
found Not Guilty?
We are not in the business of determining if someone is right or wrong, it is
up to the court to make those decisions. Our job at Contra Costa Bail Bonds is to post bail, get you out quickly and insure a person's
appearance in Court. Once the defendant is released from jail on our bail
bond, we have fulfilled our obligation and the full premium of the bail bond
amount is earned.
If you have an Arrest or Bench Warrant in Martinez, Contra Costa Bail
Bonds can help. We have an excellent working relationship with local law
enforcement. We can get you the information you need and make arrangements
for posting a bail bond before surrendering so that you will be out and on
your way in as little time as possible. In some cases (misdemeanor or traffic
cases) it won't cost you anything. We actually walk with you to the Sheriffs'
Department, arrange for your release with your signature only, without going
into custody and at no cost to you. There should be no need for you to
purchase a bail bond. This is a free community service offered to the
Martinez and Northern California region served by Contra Costa

A reputable and proven bail bonds company provides an extremely important
service to people and to the justice system. Although the explanation of the
process we outlined above seemed straight forward – we get the amount of bail,
you buy the bail bond from us and we post bail on your behalf – the system is
actually quite complex.
Like most things having to do with government, law enforcement and the justice
system, the bail bonds arena has many facets that require years to learn and
master. Our bail bondsmen have spent a great deal of time on not only the
mechanics of providing and posting bail but also on getting to know the specific
"territory" in Martinez
and Contra Costa County.
In the bail bonds world relationships are extremely important. Officials in
the courts and jails must come to trust bail bondsmen. As professionals we
are part of the system of justice and leverage relationships built over years
of proven performance. There are legal relationships, laws governing the bail
bonds industry and chains of command that we must understand and maneuver on
behalf of our Martinez bail bonds clients.
When a bail bond company consistently performs beyond expectations for
clients, judicial and law enforcement processes are expedited. We know
how to post bail quickly for our Martinez clients and get them out of
jail. We understand the map of our territory very well and know the right
people to contact to make the bail bonds experience as friendly as possible.
At Contra Costa Bail Bonds our bondsmen have more than 50 years of

the decades and delivered faithfully for our clients and the courts. When you,
