Why Los Angeles Families Call Us About a Warrant
A warrant hanging over you is stressful, but handled right it becomes a planned, predictable step. From your first call, we turn the surrender into something calm and organized.
Ready before you surrender
The bond can be ready before you ever surrender. We prepare the paperwork ahead of time and set the day and place, so you walk in on your own schedule.
We coordinate the surrender
We line up the timing with the right LA County booking facility, like the Inmate Reception Center, so the surrender, booking, and release finish in one controlled visit.
Old and out-of-county warrants
A warrant does not fade with time, and one from another county still reaches you here. We handle the bail side and the logistics, wherever in California the warrant started.
In step with your attorney
We stage the bail while your attorney files to recall the warrant, so the money side and the court side move together. You are not juggling two separate efforts on your own.
Warrant verified before you pay
Before you pay a cent, we confirm the warrant is real and active and read the bail it carries. You go in knowing exactly what to expect and what it will cost.
Warrant Types We Post Bail For
A warrant can come from a missed court date, a new charge, or an old ticket, and each sets its own bail. We post bail on these warrant types most across Los Angeles.
Arrest Warrant (PC 813)
An arrest warrant is issued under Penal Code 813 when a complaint is filed and a judge finds cause to arrest. If it carries a set bail amount, we prepare that bond in advance so your surrender and release happen in one planned visit.
Failure to Appear (PC 1320)
Missing a required court date after release is a failure to appear, a separate offense under Penal Code 1320 or 1320.5. It triggers a bench warrant, and we post the bail so you can get back on the court’s calendar quickly.
Traffic Warrant (VC 40508)
Skipping a court date on a traffic ticket is a misdemeanor under Vehicle Code 40508, and the court adds a bench warrant. We post the bail on it and arrange a walk-through, so an old ticket does not turn into a roadside arrest.
Out-of-County Warrant (PC 822)
A warrant from another California county still follows you in Los Angeles, and Penal Code 822 governs how the bail and transfer work. We handle the bail side and coordinate the surrender, so distance does not leave it hanging over you.
Probation Violation (PC 1203.2)
When the court believes a probation term was broken, it can order a rearrest under Penal Code 1203.2. These warrants are often no-bail, so we tell you honestly whether a walk-through is possible or the judge must set bail first.

Los Angeles Warrant & Walk-Through FAQ
A warrant raises urgent, specific questions. These are the ones Los Angeles families ask us most about walk-throughs, what they cost, and how a surrender actually goes.
A walk-through is a planned surrender. We prepare your bond in advance, then you turn yourself in on a set schedule at the right Los Angeles facility. You are still booked and processed, but instead of a surprise arrest and an open-ended stay, the release is arranged before you ever walk in, so most people are held a much shorter time.
Often, yes. If the warrant already carries a bail amount, we can prepare that bond in advance and stage it for your surrender. The bond does not actually release you until you have surrendered and been booked, so we confirm the warrant and its bail first, then set a time for you to walk in and be processed.
It is ready in advance. That is the whole point of a walk-through: we prepare and file the bond for the exact bail amount before you arrive, so posting is not what holds you up. The only wait is the jail’s own booking and records check, which we time your surrender around to keep short.
Yes. An out-of-county warrant still follows you, and Penal Code 822 sets how the bail and any transfer are handled. We confirm the warrant, post the bail it carries, and coordinate the surrender. Some out-of-county cases need you returned to the issuing court, and we explain that step before you commit.
A no-bail warrant, or one that orders you to appear, cannot be bonded at booking, so a bond alone will not release you. The path forward is a court hearing, usually set after your attorney files to recall the warrant, where a judge can set a bail amount. Once that number exists, we stage the bond and arrange the walk-through. We check yours before you pay.
