DUI Bail Bonds
The 605 runs down the eastern edge of Lakewood and Lakewood Boulevard carries the rest, so DUI stops stay steady. A first misdemeanor DUI often releases without bail once the driver is sober, and we post when the court sets an amount.
Lakewood, CA has contracted its policing since the day it incorporated, so arrests here book at the Sheriff's station on Clark Avenue. We post bonds there at any hour.
The question every Lakewood caller asks first is which building has their person. We answer that, then we get on with the part that takes time.
Our agents file at the Lakewood station often enough to know the shift patterns and the paperwork. Fewer wasted trips down Clark Avenue and fewer surprises for you.
Arrests happen at every hour and the office runs the same way. Somebody picks up at three in the morning, on a Sunday, and right through the holidays.
We tell you when the bond is filed, when the station takes it, and when your person walks out. Nobody should be parked outside guessing at progress.
There is no lobby you have to sit in. The paperwork goes through on your phone while one of our agents is already driving to the station.
Nobody here will tell you what they think of the arrest. We post the bond, explain the paperwork, and leave the judging to the court that handles it.
What the deputies book your person for decides the bail, and the bail decides your cost. These are the Lakewood bonds we write most often, at any hour.
The 605 runs down the eastern edge of Lakewood and Lakewood Boulevard carries the rest, so DUI stops stay steady. A first misdemeanor DUI often releases without bail once the driver is sober, and we post when the court sets an amount.
Most Lakewood misdemeanors carry a bail already set by the county schedule, so you learn the number early. If bail is $20,000 the premium is $2,000, and these are the fastest bonds we write anywhere in the county.
Felony bail runs high in Los Angeles County, and a Lakewood felony arrest often moves from the station into county custody downtown. We post the larger bond and explain the conditions a judge is likely to attach to release.
If you found out about a Lakewood warrant before a deputy did, you can surrender with the bond already arranged. We set the timing with your attorney so it stays a short appearance rather than a night in a cell.
An emergency protective order comes with nearly all of these arrests and controls where your person may go afterwards, and it binds at once. We post the bond and read that order with you before anybody drives home.
An immigration hold is federal, so the county ten percent rule does not apply and an immigration judge sets the bond. We help families locate a detained relative and post that bond once the judge has set it.
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.
Lakewood was the first city in the country to contract out all of its services, and the cities pressed against it are minutes away. We cover them all.

These questions come up on nearly every Lakewood call, roughly in this order, starting with why the Sheriff rather than a city police department is involved.
Because Lakewood has contracted its services from the beginning. When it incorporated in 1954 it became the first city in the nation to contract for all of its municipal services, and policing was part of that. Arrests are booked at the Lakewood Sheriff’s Station at 5130 Clark Avenue.
Into county custody downtown. Men are processed through the Inmate Reception Center at 450 Bauchet Street and women through the Century Regional Detention Facility. A transfer adds the drive and the intake queue to your wait, so posting the bond at the station first is almost always the quicker route.
Lakewood 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 the Governor George Deukmejian Courthouse in Long Beach on (562) 256-3100. We confirm the assigned courtroom and give you the date and address in writing when the bond is posted.
The premium is ten percent of the bail the court sets, dropping to eight percent when a licensed attorney is on the case. On $50,000 bail that comes to $5,000, or $4,000 at the lower rate. The premium is the cost of the bond itself, so it is not refunded when the case is finished.
All of them. We post bonds across every Lakewood ZIP, including 90712, 90713, 90715 and 90716, covering Lakewood Village, Lakewood Mutuals, Mayfair and the streets around the Lakewood Center. We also take calls from Bellflower, Long Beach, Cerritos, Paramount and Hawaiian Gardens.
Se habla espanol. Our bilingual agents handle Lakewood bonds in English or Spanish, whenever you call.
Asking costs nothing. Call 1-888-577-2245 at any hour, send the contact form, or have us meet you on Clark Avenue. A licensed bondsman can start the bond now.
