The single most important thing you can do the moment someone is arrested in San Joaquin County is call a bail bondsman before booking is even finished. Most people wait until the process is complete. That costs you hours.

Call (209) 425-5515 the moment you learn of the arrest. We are available every hour of every day including holidays. The earlier you call, the sooner we can move.
Our agents have real-time access to booking data at all San Joaquin County facilities: the Main Jail in French Camp, Stockton City Jail, and all city police department holding facilities. We find them, confirm the charges, and verify the bail amount.
You cannot post bail until it is set. For most charges, bail is set at the time of booking based on the San Joaquin County bail schedule. For serious felonies, bail may be set at arraignment, which California law requires within 48 to 72 hours of arrest.
Once bail is set, we send contracts directly to your phone or email for review and e-signature. You never need to come to an office. We walk you through every term and answer every question before you sign anything.
California law sets the bail bond premium at 10% of the total bail amount. If bail is set at $20,000, you pay $2,000. We accept cash, all major credit cards, and offer payment plans for qualifying clients. This fee is non-refundable once the bond is posted.
Our licensed agent posts the surety bond at the jail. The facility then processes the release paperwork. Depending on how busy the facility is, release typically takes 2 to 8 hours after the bond is posted. We keep you updated throughout.
San Joaquin County has eight jail facilities. Most felony arrests end up at the Main Jail at 7000 Michael N. Canlis Blvd in French Camp. Misdemeanor arrests may be held at city police department facilities in Stockton, Lodi, Tracy, Manteca, or Ripon before transfer.

See Bail Schedule GuideWhen you arrange a bail bond for someone, you typically become the co-signer, also called the indemnitor. This means you are legally guaranteeing that the defendant will appear at every required court date.
If the defendant fails to appear, the bail bond is forfeited and you may be responsible for the full bail amount. This is a serious legal obligation. We explain every detail of co-signer responsibility before you sign anything, and we strongly advise every client to understand what they are agreeing to.
The good news is that most defendants who are released on a bail bond do appear for their court dates. The bail system gives people the freedom to be at home, maintain employment, and work with their attorney while their case proceeds. It is designed to work.
