The Van Nuys Community Police Station may deal with more domestic abuse cases than any other division in Los Angeles County.

The bail amount for a domestic abuse charge is often set by the Los Angeles County bail schedule at $50,000.  This is generally the case when there is some “physical evidence” of contact between those involved. Officers don’t have time to play referee in a potentially dangerous situation – they need to diffuse the situation right away and very often, the best way to do that is by making an arrest.

In the case where the altercation was “stated”  between those involved, the bail amount is often set at $20,000. The safety of all those involved will always come first.

Why Bail?

A bail bond is like an insurance policy which can be held in reserve by the court. It also guarantees two things: First the defendant will meet all of his or her court dates. Second, if the defendant fails to do this, the bail amount will be paid in full.

No one wants to be stuck in jail. It can be a depressing and scary place. By seeking help from a licensed, professional SCV Bail Bond agent, we can get an arrestee out fast. Otherwise, they may have to wait for two long business days before they can go before a judge.

Bailing someone out gives them the opportunity to get back home to their friends and loved ones and continue their normal routine, until their court date. They can can speak with an attorney and continue working.

Can I Pay for a Bail Bond Without Using a Bail Bondsman? 

If you have the full amount of the bail, you can post the bail yourself, but you must have the full amount in cash, (generally, no credit cards or checks are accepted). Using the domestic dispute charge as our example, it means coming up with the $50,000.00 in full. That’s not the kind of money many people have lying around.

All of your money will be returned from the court once the arrestee’s case is complete.  This can take several months. However, if you use the services of a bail bondsman, you will pay the cost-of-service fee. In California, this fee is 10% of the total bail amount and is non-refundable.
