DUI Bail Bonds
The 91 crosses Cerritos as the Artesia Freeway and the 605 runs the western edge, so late traffic here is heavy. A first misdemeanor DUI often releases without bail once the driver is sober, and we post when the court sets an amount.
Cerritos, CA is policed by the Sheriff from a station on Bloomfield Avenue, inside the Civic Center. A licensed bail bondsman can post there any hour.
Cerritos was farmland and dairies before it was a suburb, and the bond process has not got any simpler since. These are the five things we give you.
Nobody chooses when a booking happens, so this office keeps no closing time. Call at any point over a weekend or a holiday and an agent picks up.
Most callers here have never posted bail for anyone before. We walk through what the premium buys, what a cosigner owes and what happens next, without legal shorthand.
Most bonds we write in Cerritos need a signature and a payment plan, not a deed. If a larger bail does call for collateral we say so first.
Word of a booking travels fast in a small city. Nothing about your case leaves this office except what the station and the court are owed by law.
Whatever we quote you on the phone is the figure printed on the contract. No revised total lands next week and no fee turns up after the release.
The charge decides the bail and the bail decides the premium. These are the Cerritos bonds we write most often, whatever hour of the night you call.
The 91 crosses Cerritos as the Artesia Freeway and the 605 runs the western edge, so late traffic here is heavy. A first misdemeanor DUI often releases without bail once the driver is sober, and we post when the court sets an amount.
Felony bail runs high in Los Angeles County, and a Cerritos felony arrest can move from the local station into county custody downtown. We post the larger bond and explain the conditions a judge is likely to attach to release.
An emergency protective order comes with nearly all of these arrests and decides where your person may sleep that night. We post the bond and then go through that order line by line, because breaking it undoes the release.
California charges simple possession and possession for sale as very different offences, and the bail gap between them is wide. We post either bond and read the booking paperwork with you so you know which one you are actually facing.
A Cerritos warrant does not have to end with a deputy at your door. Arrange the bond first, walk in with your attorney at a set time, and the surrender usually stays a short appearance rather than a night in custody.
Immigration holds are federal, which means the county ten percent rule does not apply and the amount comes from an immigration judge. We help you find where a detained relative is held and post the bond once it is set.
We keep the process simple so your family spends less time waiting and more time together. Here are the three steps we walk you through, from the first call to release.
Once the court sets bail, you pay a small part of the full amount to begin the release. You can do it online or in person, and we explain every dollar before you sign.
Most families cannot pay the whole premium at once, and that is fine. We build a payment plan around your budget, with a low amount down, so cost never keeps your loved one inside.
We present the full bond to the court and handle the paperwork with the jail. From there we push for the fastest release the facility allows and keep you posted until they walk out.
Cerritos incorporated in 1956 as Dairy Valley, back when the cows on this land outnumbered the residents by a wide margin. The Gateway cities sit close on every side.

These questions come up on nearly every Cerritos call, roughly in this order, beginning with which building is holding their person and ending with what it costs.
Cerritos has no city police department. The Los Angeles County Sheriff polices it under contract from the Cerritos station at 18135 Bloomfield Avenue, in the Civic Center, on (562) 860-0044. Some cases then transfer into county custody downtown. Call us with a name and we will confirm which building holds your person.
Cerritos has no courthouse of its own, so the case is heard at one of the nearby Superior Court locations, usually Bellflower on (562) 345-3300 or Norwalk on (562) 345-3700. We confirm the assigned courtroom and give you the date and address in writing once the bond is posted.
That part belongs to the station, not to us. Booking, fingerprints and the county checks all have to clear before anyone walks out, and a busy weekend shift stretches it. What the bond controls is the start, so filing early is the only real way to shorten the wait.
The premium is ten percent of the bail the court sets, so $50,000 bail costs $5,000 and $20,000 bail costs $2,000. That premium buys the bond itself and the court does not return it when the case closes. We can spread it over a payment plan.
All of them. Cerritos mail runs mainly on 90703, with some addresses served out of neighbouring 90701, and we post bonds right across the city. That covers the Auto Square, Los Cerritos Center, the Civic Center and the streets along South Street, Del Amo and Bloomfield. We also take calls from Artesia, Lakewood, Bellflower, Norwalk and La Mirada.
Se habla espanol. Our bilingual agents handle Cerritos bonds in English or Spanish, whenever you call.
