Has your loved one been arrested in Los Alamitos? If so, you’re probably scared and not sure what to do next. Your first thought may be to try to bail your loved one out, but you should never do so without first consulting with an experienced Los Alamitos criminal defense attorney.
If you speak to an attorney before you post bail, you could save thousands of dollars.
Arrested in Los Alamitos
If you are arrested in Los Alamitos, you are likely going to be held at the Los Alamitos Police Department, which is located at:
Los Alamitos Police Department
3201 Katella Ave
Los Alamitos, CA 90720
(562) 431-2255
However, your loved one may instead be held at the Orange County jail in Santa Ana. The Orange County jail facility is located at:
Orange County Jail
550 N. Flower Street
Santa Ana, CA 92703
(714) 647-4666
You should speak to an attorney to figure out where your loved one is being held and how to proceed in your case.
Attorney-Referred Los Alamitos Bail Bonds
A Los Alamitos bail bondsman will generally charge you a 10% fee to bail out your loved one. For example, if your loved one’s bail is set at $50,000, you will have to pay a bail bondsman a $5,000 fee to bail out your loved one. However, hiring a criminal attorney will net you immediate savings.
If you hire our criminal defense law firm to represent your loved one, you will be entitled to “attorney-referred bail,” which means the fee you pay a bail bondsman will be reduced from 10% to 8% of the bail amount. So if bail is set at $50,000, this will instantly save you $1,000.
Your Bail Could Be Reduced or Eliminated
In addition, Wallin & Klarich may be able to help you have the bail amount reduced or eliminated entirely by using the following methods:
1. Your Wallin & Klarich Lawyer Can Contact the Detention Release Officer
After you hire our law firm, we will contact the Orange County Detention Release Officer on duty and provide them with information about the case and ask that your loved one be released on his or her “own recognizance.” If this request is granted it means that you will not have to pay a bail bondsman any money. This can save you thousands of dollars and your loved one will be released from custody within a few hours.
2. If No Charges are Filed, Your Loved One May Be Released from Jail without Having to Post Bail
When Wallin and Klarich is hired we jump into action. We will attempt to speak to the law enforcement agency that arrested your loved one. We then will appear in court on the first court date (which occurs within a few days of your loved one’s arrest) and attempt to convince the prosecutor not to file criminal charges. If this happens, your loved one will be released from jail and you will have saved thousands of dollars.
3. Money You Pay a Bail Bondsman is Never Refundable
If you pay a bail bondsman money to bail out your loved one, that money is not refundable to you. If no criminal charges are filed in your loved one’s case the money you pay to a bondsman is lost forever. Hiring an experienced criminal defense attorney as soon as you hear that your loved one is arrested is critical so you can make the best decision regarding bail.
