8% for Large Bail Bonds

Bail amounts vary, depending on the charge, and can range from several thousand dollars to hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Many times, the arresting officers or the district attorney will charge an individual with the most serious versions of the crime for which they are arrested. They may even charge someone with multiple versions of the same crime so that the case can be “bargained” down the road.

When calculating the cost of bail required to get out of jail, a person must add up all of the charges that are being made, and add to that any and all enhancements to the charges. This adds up in a hurry and can make paying bail in cash a near impossibility for many people. Bail bonds companies work with the court system to secure an individual's release from jail at a fraction of the cost of the total bail.

In many counties, all charges and enhancements, each with their own amount of required bail, must be added together to find the total amount of bail required. This is often much more than an individual or family can come up with to get their loved one out of jail. 

For more information about qualifying for large bail bonds with as little as 8%, call Mr. Nice Guy Bail Bonds at (844) 400-2248. 

What if I Can’t Afford 8% Bail?

Many times, the amount of cash bail required to get someone out of jail can be quite a large sum. When you are facing large bail amounts, you may worry that you can never qualify for bail bonds or raise the funds to get out of jail.

To qualify for discounts on large bail bonds, you will need:

  • Proof of income for you and/or your indemnitor.
  • Real Estate may be used as collateral for large bail bonds.

8% Bail Bonds on Assault & Battery

Assault and battery are often used together, which might lead you to think that the two charges are the same, or, at least, two parts of a single charge. But, the truth is much more complicated than that. While the two are related, and you could be charged with both, they are two distinct and separate crimes.

The Definition of Battery

Battery is defined as the willful, unlawful use of force against another person. This is a violation of Penal Code 242 and must have three separate elements:

  1. The act must be willful and unlawful
  2. Force or violence is used
  3. The willful use of violence or force is used against another person

In other words, you have to intend to use force or violence, it has to involve another person, but it doesn't have to actually cause any damage, injury, or harm. In fact, you don't even have to touch the body of the other person, in order to be guilty of battery. If you touch anything the is “intimately connected” to the other person, like their clothing or something they are holding, in a disrespectful or rude way, you could be charged with battery.

The Definition of Assault

The crime of assault doesn't require any physical contact. You may have heard, or even used, the phrase, “He (or she) assaulted me!” in a situation where someone was actually hurt by physical violence. However, assault is not necessarily an attack of any kind, but merely the attempt to make unlawful contact with the intent of doing harm.

There are three components of assault:

  1. There must be an unlawful attempt
  2. There must be ability
  3. There must be another person upon whom violence or injury was threatened or attempted

“Attempt” means that someone tried to do something; not that they thought about it or wanted to, but that they tried.

Felony Assault & Battery Bail Bonds at 8%

Assaults that can be charged as felonies are violations of PC 241.1, PC 241.2, PC 241.4, PC 241.7, and PC 241.8 and include assault against:

  • doctors and nurses
  • emergency medical technicians and paramedics
  • school employees
  • firefighters
  • lifeguards
  • animal control officers
  • highway workers
  • members of the United States military, if the assault is motivated by the fact of service in the military
  • public transportation employees
  • probation department employees

Felony assault can be punished by up to three years in jail, a fine of up to $2,000, and probation up to three years.

Felony battery penalties include up to three years in county jail or state prison, depending on the offender's history, a fine of up to $2,000 ($5,000 if the victim is a juror or $10,000 if the victim is a public transport worker or passenger), and up to three years probation.

GPS Monitoring Can Help You Qualify for 8% Bail Bonds

Large bail bonds (amounts over $250,000) may require the use of a GPS monitoring system, the cost of which must be covered by the defendant. GPS monitoring typically costs $10 per day and requires a $450 installation charge, depending on the location. However, using GPS monitoring can allow defendants facing a large bail amount to work and live at home during their pretrial period, rather than forcing them to remain behind bars until their legal case can be resolved. While it may seem expensive at first, it is cheap compared to the value of freedom. 

8% Bail Bonds for Elder Abuse 368 PC

Taking care of elderly persons or handicapped adults can be a stressful and difficult task. At times, the stress of these responsibilities can be overwhelming. Caregivers of older and dependent adults must take time for self-care and be given opportunities to break away from the duties of caregiving. When this fails to happen, caregivers are sometimes less patient than they might otherwise be, sometimes leading to abuse. Abuse is never excusable. However, it is an undeniable reality that the pressures of constant caregiving can wear down a person’s natural ability to remain patient and calm in the heat of the moment.

What is Elder Abuse - 368 PC?

Elder abuse is defined under Penal Code 368 as “willfully” causing or permitting a person who is an elder or dependent adult to suffer, or inflicting unjustifiable physical pain or mental suffering. PC 368 describes elders and dependent adults as those individuals whose mental or physical capability restricts their ability to carry out normal life activities. In other words, special protection is given to those adults who are unable to protect and care for themselves. 

8% Bail Bond Rates For Elder Abuse

The state of California requires that all bail bond companies charge 10% of the total amount of bail, in order to post bond for a defendant. That means that if the bail is $20,000, the bail bondsman is required to charge $2,000 to post a bond in place of the bail. While this may still seem like a lot of money, it is far less than having to pay the entire amount of cash bail. But, all of these rates are set by statute, and all bail bond companies are required to charge the same amount.

California law allows for a discounted rate on bail bonds in some cases, for instance if the defendant retains a private attorney and pays the premium in full within 72 hours. These discounts are allowed for government union workers, members of the military, and AARP members and are determined by the surety company that is writing the bonds for the bail bond company. 

Mr. Nice Guy also offers a range of bail bond payment options that can require as little as 8% down. To see if you qualify for discounts on bail bonds, call Mr. Nice Guy at (844) 400-2245. 

8% Bail Bonds for DUI Hit & Run

The State of California has some of the toughest penalties for driving under the influence in the United States. If a DUI is charged as a felony, the penalties can include more than a year in jail and tens of thousands of dollars in fines. 

Some of the charges related to DUI include

  • DUI With Great Bodily Injury or Death
  • Vehicular Manslaughter
  • Gross Vehicular Manslaughter
  • DUI Hit and Run
  • Child Endangerment Enhancement to DUI
  • DUI Refusal/Forced Blood Draw

When an individual is arrested for DUI and facing multiple charges or enhancements to the original charge, the bail amounts required to get out of jail must be added together, in most counties.

8% Domestic Violence Bail Bonds

California domestic violence laws state that it is illegal to use physical force or make threats of harm against an intimate partner. Most often called domestic violence, this crime is also called spousal abuse and includes abuse against any intimate partner. An intimate partner includes a spouse, former spouse, girlfriend, boyfriend, former girl- or boyfriend, someone you date or used to date, same-sex partner, a person you live and have an intimate relationship, or used to live and have an intimate relationship, or someone with whom you have a child. In other words, if you have, or have ever had, romantic feelings for or an intimate relationship with someone and then become involved in any kind of force, you could be charged with spousal abuse, and not just simple battery.

Other Charges Related To Domestic Violence

  • Domestic Abuse

8% Bail Bonds for Restraining Order Violations

In the State of California, there are several types of restraining orders available to protect those in fear of violence or threats from another person. A restraining order prohibits one party from having certain contact with another person, once specific evidence has been shown that the protected party is in some sort of danger from the restrained party. 

If a restraining order is issued, each order will contain specific information regarding the type of contact that is prohibited. Sometimes only physical contact is prohibited and other times even phone calls or emails will be a violation of the restraining order. If you are the subject of a restraining order, read the entire order carefully to ensure that you understand all of the restrictions you’ve been ordered to observe. 

Types of Restraining Orders

There are several types of restraining orders issued in California. 

The most common is a domestic violence restraining order, or DRVO, in which the parties are or have been involved in a dating or familial relationship before the order requested. 

Restraining Order Violation Bail Bonds

Many times the amount of money required for bail is more than someone can conveniently come up with. If you don't have friends or relatives from whom you can borrow the money for bail, you may need to enlist the help of a bail bondsman like Mr. Nice Guy Bail Bonds. Mr. Nice Guy and his team of licensed, professional bail bondsmen can help you negotiate the bail process and get out of jail fast.

A bail bondsman will pay the bail on your behalf, and you pay the bondsman a fee, usually 10% of the total cost of bail. When the case is resolved, the court will return the money to the person who paid it, in this case the bail bondsmen. He keeps the fee as payment for helping to secure bail more quickly and for assistance to the court in tracking and ensuring the compliance of defendants who are out on bail.
