DUI Bail Bonds
The 605 runs along the north end of Whittier and Whittier Boulevard carries the rest, so DUI stops are steady. A first misdemeanor DUI often releases without bail once the driver is sober, and we post when the court sets an amount.
Whittier, CA books its own arrests at the station on Penn Street, and the courthouse is over on Painter Avenue. A licensed bail bondsman can post at any hour.
Almost nobody who calls has done this before, and it shows in the first thirty seconds. Whittier families get these five things from us straight away, before anything else.
Nobody here is weighing up your family. We have taken hundreds of these calls and the way we speak to you does not shift with the charge on the sheet.
You see the premium and any fee before a signature goes anywhere. Nothing gets added later and no balance surfaces once your person is already home.
Somebody real answers the phone. Sitting in a car outside a station on Penn Street, a recorded menu and a promised callback are worth nothing to you.
We chase you about your own balance and nobody else. No one from a form you filled in gets a phone call because a payment came in late.
Most of the delay belongs to the station’s release routine, not to us. The bond goes in immediately so their clock is the one that starts running.
What your person is booked for sets the bail, and the bail sets the premium. These are the Whittier bonds we write most often, whatever the hour.
The 605 runs along the north end of Whittier and Whittier Boulevard carries the rest, so DUI stops are steady. A first misdemeanor DUI often releases without bail once the driver is sober, and we post when the court sets an amount.
Most Whittier misdemeanors carry a bail already set by the county schedule, so the number is known 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 Whittier felony arrest usually leaves the city station for 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 go afterwards, and it binds at once. We post the bond and go through that order with you before anybody drives home.
Possession and sales are charged very differently in California and the bail between them is far apart. We post either one and explain which side of that line the booking paperwork puts you on before you sign.
If you learned about a Whittier warrant before an officer 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.
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.
Whittier took its name from the Quaker poet and still centres on the college, and the Gateway cities sit close on every side. We cover those too.

Whittier runs its own police department at 13200 Penn Street and city arrests are booked there first, on a line staffed at (562) 567-9200. Some cases then transfer into Los Angeles County custody downtown at the Inmate Reception Center. Call us with a name and we will confirm which building holds your person before you drive over.
Whittier cases go to the Whittier Courthouse at 7339 South Painter Avenue, a Los Angeles Superior Court location in the city, reachable on (562) 968-2699. A first appearance usually falls within a couple of court days of booking, and we put the date and the address in writing for you once the bond is posted.
Usually not. For most Whittier bonds a signed agreement and a payment plan are enough, with no property pledged at all. Larger felony bonds sometimes call for collateral, and where yours does we explain exactly what is being pledged and what comes back to you before anything is signed.
The premium is ten percent of the bail the court sets, and it can drop to eight percent when a licensed attorney is on the case. On $50,000 bail that is $5,000, or $4,000 at the lower rate. The premium buys the bond itself, so the court does not return it when the case ends.
