A DUI charge in Los Angeles can take several forms, and each one changes the bail. These are the DUI cases we post bonds for most, day or night, at any county jail.
First-Offense DUI (VC 23152)
A first DUI in Los Angeles is usually a misdemeanor under California Vehicle Code 23152, and many drivers are released on their own recognizance. If the court does set bail, we post it fast so you can leave and prepare your case.
Repeat DUI
A second or third DUI within ten years raises both the bail and the stakes, and the court weighs each prior closely. We post repeat-DUI bonds around the clock and explain what the judge is likely to require before release.
Felony DUI (VC 23550)
A fourth DUI within ten years, or a DUI with a prior felony, becomes a felony under Vehicle Code 23550, and bail runs much higher. We post felony DUI bonds and walk your family through the conditions the court sets on release.
DUI Causing Injury (VC 23153)
When a DUI hurts someone, it is charged under Vehicle Code 23153 and can be a felony, with bail that sometimes reaches six figures. We handle these high-bail bonds and explain the paperwork and the release conditions clearly before you commit to anything.
DUI Under 21
California sets a zero-tolerance limit for drivers under twenty-one, so even a small amount of alcohol can trigger a DUI arrest and a license hold. We post these bonds quickly and explain the court and DMV steps that follow.
DUI of Drugs
A DUI does not require alcohol. Driving under the influence of drugs, including lawful prescriptions, is charged under Vehicle Code 23152, subsection f. We post these bonds at any Los Angeles jail and explain how the case differs from an alcohol DUI.
