Q. If the person has been arrested for suspicion of D.U.I. without injury or accident, and are being held at the El Segundo Police Department Jail, will they be released on their Own Recognizance (O.R.), or do I need to put up a bond?
A. Inmates arrested on D.U.I. and being held in the El Segundo Police Department Jail will not require a bail bond being posted. El Segundo Beach Police do release inmates with alleged D.U.I. misdemeanor offenses with a signed promise to appear. And the inmates can expect their arraignment date to be in approximately 30 days in the LAX Superior Court.
Q. How much do I have to pay for the Bail Bond in El Segundo City? and why do some companies quote such small amounts?
A. California State Law regulates the Bail Bonding Industry. The Bail Bonding Premium is regulated @ no more than 15% for some Dollar amounts and if you qualify you may be able to get the bond @ 8%.
Please Note:
The highest percentage rate in California is 15%, for smaller dollar amounts, but for the most part bail bonding agencies no longer use the 15% rate and have stuck to the norm of 10% for all amounts.
Most Agencies will offer you a rebate if you qualify, the rebate is 20% off of the total bail amount. The normal qualifications for the rebate would be the following:
- Union Member
- Retained an Attorney
- Active Military
- A.A.R.P.
As far as the second part of the question, be aware! Many unscrupulous bail bonding companies will make claims of smaller premiums, they will try to entice you to get their "foot in the door." These shady bail companies will promise 2% or 3% bail bonds and once they have you in front of them, it turns into "how would you like to pay the remaining portion of your balance"?
All insurance premiums are regulated!, If a company promises less than 8% in total than you may want to make some more calls.

A. This question is not one that can be answered so easily, unfortunately there are many variables beyond just that of immigration status. Please call us directly @ 310-207-2245 and we can contact the Whittier Police Station jail for more information.
Please Note: If the inmate has ever been deported before, than you can expect I.C.E. to place an immigration hold on the inmate.
Also: we have seen a greater number of immigration holds being placed on inmates, but that normally is at the level of County Jail.
You can expect that if your loved is transferred to L.A. County Jail, a hold will be placed!
Q. What if I don't Bail out my loved one?
A. If you elect to hold off on bailing out the inmate than you can expect them to be in court within 24 to 48 hours depending on the severity of the charge.
Q. My loved one has an out of county warrant, can I still bail him / her out?
A. Yes, you can still bail them out if there are no holds.
Please Note: If the inmate has an out of city or out of county warrant they will be transferred to the L.A. County Jail once they are processed. If you elect to bail them you can do it but you must work fast, if you delay the inmate will be transferred.
You can still bail out inmates that have been transferred but the process will normally take an additional 12 to 24 hours.
