1. Citation Release
- The person in custody may be released on a citation
with a promise to appear in court. This is form
of release is usually for out of county misdemeanor
warrants where the arresting agency assigns a court
date for the individual upon their release.
2. Own Recognizance (O.R)
- The person in custody is released with a promise
to appear. This form of release is used for non-violent
offenders who will be appearing within the local
county or local jurisdiction where the alleged
crime occurred.
3. Cash Bail - The individual posts the entire of the bail with the jail
for release. This form of release is primarily used for bail amounts
under $1000.00. We do not recommend posting cash bail for amounts over
a $1000.00. For example, if the defendant fails to appear in court,
then you may have additional out of pocket costs to prevent the cash
bail from from being forfeited to the county.
4. Bail Bond (Surety Bond) - The alternative
to cash bail is the posting of a surety bond which is also known as a
bail bond. How a bail bond works involves a contractual undertaking guaranteed
by an admitted insurance company having adequate assets to satisfy the
face value of the bond. Apollo Bail Bonds, Inc. guarantees to the court
that they will pay the bond forfeiture if a defendant fails to appear
for the designated court appearances. Apollo Bail Bonds, Inc. guarantee
is made through a surety company such as Bankers Insurance Group.
For this service, the defendant
is charged a premium. To be released by posting
a bail bond, the defendant or a relative or a
friend, will usually contact Apollo Bail Bonds,
Inc, an agency licensed by the State of California
to post bail bonds. Before a bond is posted,
we will interview the proposed guarantor of the
bail bond, as well as the defendant and relatives
of the defendant, as part of the approval procedure
for the bond.
By involving family and friends,
as well through the acceptance of collateral,
Apollo Bail Bonds can be assured the defendant
being released on a bail bond will appear at
his/her designated court date, as required, until
the case is completed.
Once an agreement is made, we
will complete the application and post the bail
bond for the full amount of the bail to guarantee
the defendant's return to court.
Once a defendant is released
on a bail bond posted by Apollo Bail Bonds, Inc.
they will meet with an agent to be interviewed
and go over the terms and conditions of bail.
At Apollo Bail Bonds, we strive to make this
process as simple as possible. All we ask is
for defendants to communicate and be courteous.
We offer the comfort of not being in jail while
your case is adjudicated!
5. Property Bond - Depending
on the court jurisdiction an individual may obtain
release from custody by posting a property bond
with the court. Here a court records a lien on
property, to secure the bail amount. If the defendant
fails to appear in court of his/her designated
date, the court may start foreclosure proceedings
against the property to obtain the forfeited
bail amount
