Confirm First, Pay Second

We have built our family business since 1956 on the principle that you should not pay until we have confirmed the bond will be accepted.

The California bail bond premium is set by statute at 10% of the total bond amount (Insurance Code § 1800.4). It is non-refundable once the bond is posted — that is how licensed bondsmen are paid for taking on the financial risk of the bond. That much is the law and applies to every licensed bondsman in California.

Our money-back guarantee covers the window before posting. We do not collect a premium until we have confirmed with the jail and our surety underwriter that the bond can actually be written. If the bond is rejected, if the bail amount is changed before we post, or if the defendant is released before we post the bond, you do not owe a premium. Period.

After posting, our guarantee covers the contract itself. If we ever charge a fee that was not disclosed in the written agreement — required by California AB 391 — we refund it. No arguments, no friction. We have operated on this basis since 1956.

Call (626) 478-1062 for a free, confidential consultation. We pull the booking record, confirm the bail amount, and quote the premium in writing before anything is signed or paid.

Three Specific Promises

The guarantee is not marketing. It is how we operate, in writing.

If We Cannot Post, You Pay Nothing

We confirm the bond is approvable before payment
If the bond cannot be posted, no premium is collected
Zero risk on the front end

We do not collect the premium until we have confirmed with the jail and underwriter that the bond can be written. If something blocks it, you owe nothing.

Written Disclosure Before You Sign

AB 391-compliant written agreement
Premium, finance charges, and indemnitor terms
No hidden fees, ever

Every California bail contract must include a clear breakdown by statute (AB 391). We send the full agreement before any signature. If you find a charge you did not agree to, we refund it.

Bail Amount Confirmed First

We pull the booking record before quoting
No surprise increases mid-process
If the court raises bail after posting, we coordinate

We confirm the actual bail amount with the booking clerk before quoting the premium. If the court later increases bail (rare, but possible), we re-quote and you decide.

The Statutes Behind Our Guarantee

Our guarantee is built on existing California consumer-protection statutes — we just take them seriously.

Cal. Ins. Code § 1800.4

The 10% Premium Is Statutory

California sets the bail bond premium between 8% and 10% of the total bond. The premium itself is non-refundable once the bond is posted — that is how the bondsman is paid. Our guarantee covers the period before posting.

AB 391 (effective 2024)

Written Disclosure Is Required

California bail bond contracts must include a clear, written breakdown of every charge. If a fee shows up that was not in the written agreement, that is a regulatory violation — and we refund it on the spot.

Cal. Code Regs. tit. 10, § 2092

Refund Triggers

California regulations specify when a bail premium must be refunded — primarily when the bond is never accepted by the court. We follow these rules to the letter.
