Can I Post A Bail Bond With An Immigration Hold?

noreply@blogger.com (Michael) — Wed, 23 Feb 2011 23:57:00 +0000

I personally don't recall hearing so much about immigration law and reform as I have in the past several years. In recent news, the House Judiciary Committee in Colorado just passed Bill 1088. The bill will require the arresting law enforcement agency to notify the district attorney's office and pretrial services if they have probable cause to believe an arrestee is an illegal immigrant.

The commercial bail industry is feeling the effect of the immigration laws. Arrestees with immigration holds can't simply use a bail bond service for their immediate release. Posting a bail bond for the local state case doesn't release them from custody due to the hold, but rather releases them to the custody of the federal government.

A common question asked in our office is, "Can I post a bail bond with an immigration hold?" The answer is yes, but a two part strategy is usually implemented to have the arrestee released from federal custody. Upon posting the bail bond for the local state case, the arrestee will be transferred to federal custody within a day or so. Once in federal custody, the arrestee will be interviewed by an immigration official and a bail recommendation will be made. So, bail or an immigration bond can now be posted and the arrestee released. However, keep in mind that many criminal offenses are not bailable at the federal level, thus keeping the arrestee from being released.

A bail bond company should use caution when dealing with immigration holds. Family and friends of the accused wanting to proceed with the two step process need to understand the drawbacks of not obtaining bail or an immigration bond by the federal government. It's best to consult with an attorney who practices these areas of the law for details.

When Is The Balance Due On The Bail Bond?

noreply@blogger.com (Michael) — Tue, 15 Feb 2011 00:56:00 +0000

When is the balance due on the bail bond? Many clients still ask this question even after we have explained the bail bond process and their obligation to the bond. The penal (total) amount of bail posted through a surety bail bond is never paid by the co-signer ( Indemnitor) unless the defendant fails to meet the conditions of their bail. For example, the defendant's failure to appear in court and comply with court orders can result in the co-signers loss of the total amount of bail. However, if the defendant complies with their conditions of bail, the only out of pocket expense should be the premium paid for the bail bond. The premium is a percentage (10%) of the bail bond amount and is regulated by the state's Department of Insurance.

Another public misconception is that the total amount of bail is reduced by the premium paid. The surety bail bond is issued in the total amount of bail and the premium amount paid has no effect on the bail amount. A $10,000.00 bail bond remains a $10,000.00 bail bond regardless if you paid $1,500.00, $1,000.00, or $800.00 for the premium.

Furthermore, the bail bond premium is FULLY earned upon the defendant's release from custody. The surety bail bond agreement expressly discloses that the bail bond company is not obligated to return any portion of the bail premium due to the defendant having been improperly arrested, bail reduced, or case dismissed. Unfortunately, many people are misinformed by court clerks and other entities regarding bail bond premiums. Thus, it's best to check your bail bond agreement and contact the bail bond company who provided the service.

Bail Bonds | Affidavit of Reassumption Of Liability

noreply@blogger.com (Michael) — Wed, 02 Feb 2011 19:53:00 +0000

The Affidavit of Reassumption of Liability is also known as the Consent to Reinstate Bail Bond and Order. This one page document is required to reinstate a forfeited bail bond. In other words, the defendant failed to appear in court for a scheduled appearance and the bail bond company is once again willing to assume the liability of the bail bond amount. California Penal Code section 1305(C)(4) gives more details.

In general, the court will accept the Reassumption of Liability by the bail bond company, vacate the forfeiture, and reinstate the bail bond. However, the court may use its discretion and deny the reinstatement. The court may also require the defendant to show "good cause" for failing to appear before accepting the Reassumption of Liability. The judges are displeased when a defendant has no viable excuse for not appearing in court, showing a total disregard for the court and their case. A defendant's record of appearance may also be an indicator of what the judge is willing to do. If they have not failed to appear in the past, the judge is more inclined to reinstate the bail bond, but if they have failed to appear in the past, well, the defendant will be fighting an uphill battle.

Consumers also need to be aware of the bail bond company's policy regarding the reinstatement of a forfeited bail bond. The bail bond company is not required to provide the Affidavit of Reassumption of Liability. Many bail bond companies have fees associated with providing the reinstatement and order to the court. Once issued, there is also a specified period of time (10 days) in which the Affidavit of Reassumption of Liability must be provided to the court by the defendant.

Bail Bond Forfeiture | California Penal Code 1305(A)

noreply@blogger.com (Michael) — Tue, 01 Feb 2011 20:41:00 +0000

What happens when a defendant fails to appear in court while out of custody on a bail bond? The court (judge) is required to forfeit the bail bond in "open" court as provided in California Penal Code section 1305(A). This usually results in a bench warrant issued for the defendant with a possible higher bail amount.

The defendant in a felony case is required to appear at all times as a condition of their bail. In certain circumstances, the court may allow a retained criminal defense attorney to appear in court on behalf of the defendant. The court may even hold a bench warrant for a defendant based on the information provided by their criminal lawyer, but a sufficient excuse for failure to appear must be acceptable by the court.

In California, the grace period of a bail bond forfeiture is 185 days, which includes a 5 day period for the mailing of the "Notice of Forfeiture" by the court to the bail bond company and/or surety insurer. The grace period allows for the voluntary or involuntary appearance of the defendant in court. The defendant may have been hospitalized, which kept them from appearing in court, a justifiable reason for their failure to appear. It may be necessary to locate, apprehend, and surrender the defendant for absconding. In the case of a temporary disability, the court shall toll the 180 day period based on the illness, insanity, or detention by military or civil authorities. Regardless of the circumstances, upon appearance of the defendant, the court shall vacate the forfeiture and re-instate or exonerate the bail bond.

In addition, the bail bond company may file a motion with the court to extend the 185 day period. If "good cause" is shown, the courts in California will usually extend the grace period for another 6 months. However, the amount of additional time is up to the discretion of the judge.

If the defendant ultimately fails to appear within the prescribed time, the bail bond company and surety insurer will be required to pay the penal amount of the bail bond. Once the grace period has expired, the county in which the bail bond was posted will enter a summary judgement against the bail bond company and their surety insurer. At this point, the penal amount of the bail bond must be paid to the county within 30 days of receiving the summary judgement. All efforts in apprehending and surrendering the defendant should cease upon receiving the summary judgement, payment is required .

Bail Bond Agent Sentenced In Orange County

noreply@blogger.com (Michael) — Fri, 28 Jan 2011 22:23:00 +0000

In a recent blog post called, "Bail Bonds - You Get What You Pay For", we mentioned the serious problems the commercial bail industry is facing due to unethical and scrupulous bail bond agents. Just yesterday, the Superior Court of Orange County sentenced Ronald Lee Brockway of Respect Bail Bonds in an illegal referral scheme. Mr. Brockway was sentenced to a year in jail, fines, probation, and a six month suspension of his bail license.

Unfortunately, this is nothing new to Mr. Brockway. He avoided prosecution in 2005 in exchange for testimony before the Orange County Grand Jury, which helped put away Joseph Cavallo, an attorney. In his testimony, he claims to have received cash monies from the criminal defense attorney in exchange for referring clients.

California Code of Regulations- Title 10, Article 2, defines bail transactions as they pertain to a licensed bail agent in the State of California. Section 2071 prohibits directly or indirectly referring / suggesting an attorney to an arrestee for representation. Furthermore, section 2074 prohibits solicitation for bail to any person on the premises of any jail, prison, court, detention facility, and connections to administrations of justice.

Mr. Brockway didn't take the previous "run in with the law" as a warning, but continued his illegal bail bond operations. In fact, he posted his own $50,000.00 bail bond back in July of 2010! It is my assumption that he had a total disregard for the law, which finally led to his arrest and conviction. The truth of the matter is, he will serve only part of his sentence just in time for the reinstatement of his bail agent's license, an ill decision made in part of the California Insurance Commissioner.

California Bail Schedules 2011

noreply@blogger.com (Michael) — Thu, 27 Jan 2011 05:57:00 +0000

Several California counties updated their felony and misdemeanor bail schedules earlier this month. This information has been updated to our website CallForBail.com for the public's use. The California bail schedules may be viewed or printed from your desktop or mobile device at the above referenced link. However, they require adobe reader for viewing and printing purposes.

We currently only provide California bail schedules for the following counties; Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino, San Diego, and Ventura. The text version of the California bail schedules will include all California counties and will be mailed out, free of charge, to our list of criminal defense attorneys and their respective law practices.

Fastrak Bail Bonds is also excited to announce our expansion to the Android and iPhone application markets. We are currently under the development stage of a an application that will assist several related industries.

Please note that the California bail schedules are subject to change and that we are not responsible for their accuracy as they were produced and published by the respective counties. The amount of bail varies and is not only determined by the criminal charges against someone, but also by the county where the alleged offense was committed.

Orange County's Jails Inmate Deaths

noreply@blogger.com (Michael) — Tue, 25 Jan 2011 02:14:00 +0000

I recently read an article from the OC Weekly regarding Orange County's Jails strange deaths, which included suicides. Some of the deaths have even gone by without any public announcements or knowledge? Not till recently did the Orange County Sheriff's Department pass a new policy issuing press releases for deaths in their county jails. Sheriff's officials have acknowledged an increase of suicides, but give little to no explanations on the cause of various deaths. For example, the DA's office investigation report regarding Michelle Gee's death provided very little details as to the cause of death and several inmates have died within a week's time of each other in early 2010, but the OCSD and DA's office will not comment on how these individuals died.

Reading the article brought me to many conclusions on how these individuals could of met their demise in custody, but stating my unfounded conclusions would be unfair to the deceased inmates families as well as the other entities involved. However, many of our clients have complained about the deputies running the Orange County's Jails and how they were treated during their stay. I recall one client who is a serious diabetic, he wasn't given any insulin for two days and the Orange County Jail wouldn't accept the medication from the family. Another client was told by a deputy to, "Keep quite if you know what's good for you", while being processed through the Intake and Release Center (IRC). Lastly, our client is notified that his bail bond was posted only to be placed in a corner for 4 hours, mocked, and made fun of by deputies as they stood around.

Jail reform should be a top priority for Orange County Sheriff Sandra Hutchens. She was recently sworn in as the "elected" Sheriff of Orange County and claims her priority is to ensure safety and security for the Orange County public. Deputies, workers, and activists agree that jail reform is necessary now to prevent the horrible events of the past from repeating.

Bail Bond's Defeated Purpose - California Penal Code 1305(A)(5)

noreply@blogger.com (Michael) — Sat, 22 Jan 2011 17:37:00 +0000

Under California Penal Code Section 1305(A)(5), the purposes of a bail bond are defeated by the untimely filing of a criminal complaint by the District Attorney's Office. This California penal code section requires that the court exonerate the bail bond 15 business days from the date of arraignment if no criminal (complaint) case has been filed.

This can create an unexpected problem for the defendant in the near future. After all, the defendant was released on the bail bond based on the alleged charges at time of arrest. The defendant expects to appear in court for the underlying criminal charges out of custody, the intended purpose for posting the bail bond. Unfortunately, a bail bond can't be reinstated once the court has exonerated a bail bond. So, if the District Attorney's Office fails to file within 15 days of arraignment, but files the complaint any time after, the defendant is looking at a possible warrant for their arrest and having to post a new bail bond!

Fastrak Bail Bonds finds this to be more than unfair to the defendant, our client. Our bail bond company's policy is to post a new bail bond with little to no fees, saving the client hundreds if not thousands of dollars. The only requirement is that the new bail bond must be directly related to original criminal charges and case (missing complaint) not previously filed.

What Is A Bail Bond Rewrite?

noreply@blogger.com (Michael) — Thu, 20 Jan 2011 00:59:00 +0000

The process and procedures of posting a bail bond can differ from time to time due to a criminal case's circumstances. Many co-signers, defendants, and criminal defense attorneys misunderstand the requirements and need for a bail bond rewrite.

A bail bond rewrite would apply to a criminal case in which a bail bond was already posted, but changes in circumstances require additional bail by the court. For example, let's say a defendant was arrested and released on a $15,000.00 bail bond. Upon appearing in court for the underlying criminal charges, the district attorney's office decides to file the case as a felony and/or add more criminal charges to the complaint. The Court (judge) or district attorney's office (DA) asks for a higher bail amount of $50,000.00, based on the current criminal charges and bail schedule. The defendant in now required to make bail in the amount of $50,000.00 or likely be taken into custody.

In the example given above, the defendant would be required to post an additional $35,000.00 in bail . This would require a new bail bond (rewrite) in the amount of $50,000.00 to be posted by the bail bond company. You might ask, why not post another bail bond for $35,000.00? California state regulations will not allow "stacking" of the bail bonds. In fact, the bail bond is void if more than one power (bail bond) is attached or an additional bail bond is posted on the same case number.

Furthermore, the bail bond company is not obligated to post the larger bail bond amount. The previous transaction was negotiated upon the criminal charges and bail amount at the time of arrest. Depending on the new risk factors, additional collateral or security may be required to underwrite the new bail bond amount. Upon satisfying the requirements for the new $50,000.00 bail amount, the bail bond company may charge the difference in bail premium. The same rate of premium must also be charged for the bail bond rewrite as charged on the original bail bond, usually 8% or 10% percent.

In addition, a bail bond rewrite would not apply to a forfeited bail bond. The defendant's failure to appear in court, having their bail amount raised, and bail bond forfeited does not constitute a bail bond rewrite. A bail bond rewrite also requires that the original bail bond was never forfeited.

Bail Bonds - You Get What You Pay For

noreply@blogger.com (Michael) — Thu, 13 Jan 2011 19:18:00 +0000

Everyone sooner or later has heard the phrase, "You get what you pay for." This phrase is extremely important in the commercial bail industry as we face new challenges everyday by unethical bail bond companies. We were able to name our competitors in the past, but in the last decade we have seen a flood of bail bond companies in the local market. Our recent inquiry showed over 70 bail bond companies in Orange County, California alone!

The standard 10% percent rate seems to have followed the dinosaurs into extinction. A recent caller shopping for rates told us someone quoted them 2% percent for the bail bond! It doesn't stop there, no collateral is being taken on high risk bail. The public is being enticed into a bait-n-switch with false advertisement. People are being harassed by unlicensed individuals in front of the county jails while trying to visit a friend or loved one.

What does all of this mean for the defendant, co-signer(s), and criminal attorney on the case? Well, defendants are being surrendered without "just cause" and the co-signer(s) terms and agreement with the bail bond company are now different (bait-n-switch) than originally agreed to causing a conflict to the bail transaction. The unethical bail agent is using "strong arm" tactics to get ALL their money now or threatening to throw the defendant back into custody. The criminal attorney's work just got harder, having to deal with their client in custody and possibly getting less of favorable case disposition. Hopefully the criminal attorney had not referred the client to the unethical bail bondsman?

The California Department of Insurance regulates the rate of premium and licensing for bail agents in the State of California. The bail bond company transacting bail has a specified rate filing through their surety insurer (insurance company). The standard rate premium in California is 10% percent of the total bail amount. The LOWEST rate premium in the State of California is 8% percent. The 8% premium ONLY applies to individuals that meet the following requirements: attorney referrals, AARP members, and Union members.

Unfortunately, the general public is unfamiliar with the regulated fees and many times are exposed to an illegal bail transaction. Lets face it, most people are not thinking clearly when a loved one or friend was just taken into custody, they want them out as soon as possible. So, they contact a bail bond company and do very little to no research on the company's standing with the insurance commissioner, public, and professional associations. The circumstances seem to overshadow a person's rationale or logic if you will. If time is not of the essence, please inquire and investigate with whom you are willing to do business with. The short amount of time spent on your due diligence can make a difference between a good and bad experience.

Bail Hold - California Penal Code 1275.1

noreply@blogger.com (Michael) — Wed, 12 Jan 2011 20:08:00 +0000

Under California Penal Code Section 1275.1 a peace officer, judge, or prosecutor may place a no bail hold on an arrestee. A declaration must be filed by one of these individuals showing "probable cause" to detain the arrestee without bail and until a bail hearing is scheduled.

The allegations related to such no bail holds are usually financial crimes, drug trafficking, etc.. Thus, the purpose for the no bail hold is to validate the premium monies and collateral used to secure the release of the defendant. An extensive declaration is usually filed by the bail bond company or bail bondsman involved in the case, disclosing the source of premium monies and collateral provided by the co-signers. Deeds of trust, income taxes, and bank statements are some examples of documentation used as exhibits to a "declaration of bondsman." Once the court has reviewed the information and confirmed the legitimate sources, the no bail hold will be lifted and bail or bail bond may be posted.

In addition, the Co-signer(s) and bail bondsman may be required to give testimony during the bail hearing. Testimony is not always required and a well drafted declaration will usually result in a positive outcome for the defendant. However, the prosecutor and/or judge may cross-examine the bail witnesses regarding the declaration filed. For this reason, it is extremely important that the information provided to the court is accurate. You don't want any discrepancies between the declaration and the testimony given.

Bail Bonds v. Pretrial Services

noreply@blogger.com (Michael) — Tue, 11 Jan 2011 19:12:00 +0000

Pretrial Services came into existence during the Kennedy and Johnson administrations. It was due to jail overcrowding and rioting in the local New York City jails. An investigation into the New York City's jails showed most inmates were in custody because they could not afford bail. Thus, own recognizance (O.R.) release was introduced into the bail system.

Furthermore, legal scholars in the 50's had serious constitutional questions regarding the bail system. They found the system was in violation of the 8th amendment, excessive bail should not be required. Others believed the system economically discriminated against individuals and contradicted the equal protection clause of the 14th amendment.

Today, you will find many different opinions and arguments regarding the bail system. For example, the commercial bail industry is constantly involved with local government, legislation, etc.. regarding new laws related to bail. Extensive research and studies from major universities have reported the Pretrial Services on O.R. releases have failed the system at the American taxpayers expense. Studies show inmates released without any financial obligations(O.R.) have a higher chance of failure to appear. In California, it can cost the taxpayer between $7,000-$10,000 for efforts on bringing the individual back to court!

The issues regarding bail are a fraction of the issues faced by the criminal justice system. Pretrial Services and bail bond companies unfortunately see the bail system in different perspectives.

Bail Bonds and INS Holds

noreply@blogger.com (Michael) — Thu, 06 Jan 2011 21:07:00 +0000

Local law enforcement agencies are working with federal immigration officials to screen all persons who come into local jails to determine if they are in the United States illegally. In recent years, Fastrak Bail Bonds has experienced a conflict in posting our clients bail bonds due to an INS hold. INS holds are placed on individuals detained for an alleged crime(s) and thought to be illegal in the Unites States.

In general, we verify the arrestee's bail information before and after the required bail bond documents have been finalized with the co-signer. Unfortunately, the INS hold is placed in the interim or after the bail bond has been posted, causing the bail bond to ultimately be rejected by the detention facility. Once the INS hold is in place, bail or bail bonds can't be posted and a refund in premium monies is required.

The arrestee's options for release are limited, if any, at this point. The arrestee first must resolve the local case pending against them. Then they will be turned over to federal government( ICE) for a deportation hearing of some sort. If circumstances allow, the arrestee will be able to make bail or post an immigration bail bond pending their status here in the United States.

Federal immigration laws are changing constantly and can be complex. It's best that you consult with an immigration attorney who specializes in this area of the law.

Cash Bail or Bail Bond?

noreply@blogger.com (Michael) — Thu, 09 Dec 2010 01:49:00 +0000

Clients sometimes ask what is the difference between cash bail or bail bond? There isn't much difference except for the required bail bond premium on a bail bond. After all, a bail bond is considered cash and a guarantee the defendant will appear in court for the underlying criminal charges.

For example, Mr. Smith wants to post bail for his son William in the amount of $10,000.00. If Mr. Smith has the $10,000.00, he may deposit this amount with the court for his son's release. Once William has complied with the court and is sentenced, the judge will make a court order for the bail refund. The accounting department for the court will then issue a bail refund to the depositor which can take 4-12 weeks to receive.

In the example given above, Mr. Smith did not need the services of a bail bond company because he had access to the total amount of bail monies in either a checking, savings, or possibly a retirement account. By putting up the bail money himself, he avoided the underwriting process of the bail bond and having to pay a bail bond premium.

Unfortunately, many people do not have large amounts of money saved for such unforeseen emergencies or circumstances. Others can't get quick access to this money due to a weekend, holiday, or bank's policy. These reasons are why many people decide to use a bail bond company.

Using the services of a reputable bail bond company provides convenience and a temporary solution to an unexpected problem. More importantly, it allows an individual to continue employment and avoid any interruption in lifestyle. Yes, the co-signer is required to pay a bail bond premium and qualify for the bail bond, but the process is not time consuming nor difficult. Besides, we are available 24 hours to assist you in the release of a friend or family member.

So, cash bail or bail bond? Honestly, if you have the money for the entire amount of bail and you don't need the funds in the near future, put it up with the criminal court and skip the middle man. Otherwise, call the local bail bond company, day or night, and have your loved one released in the shortest time frame possible.

Are Bail Bond Renewal Premiums Required?

noreply@blogger.com (Michael) — Fri, 19 Nov 2010 17:58:00 +0000

A concern faced by many clients is the dreaded bail bond renewal premium. Our office is always receiving phone calls from clients regarding the one year anniversary of their issued bail bond. The client's criminal court case has not settled for some reason or another and they are worried about a possible renewal premium in the near future.

It is a common practice in the commercial bail bond industry to charge a renewal premium to a client. Just like many other forms of insurance, this is paid yearly. The bail bond renewal premium is also disclosed in the surety bail bond agreement, the contract used to secure the defendant's release from custody. The section of the contract specifying the bail bond renewal premium may read something like this:

"To pay Second Party ( Bail Bond Company) $ premium amount per annum for this bail bond. The premium is fully earned upon the release of Principle (Defendant). The fact the Defendant may have been improperly arrested, or his bail reduced or his case dismissed, shall not obligate the return if any portion of said premium. This bond is renewal each year. First Party (co-signer) agrees to pay Second Party (Bail Bond Company) a renewal premium in the amount stated above, twelve months after the date on which this Bond was executed. If said renewal premium is not paid upon written demand therefor. Second Party (Bail Bond Company) or Surety has the right to surrender Principal (Defendant), as provided in the California Penal Code, Section 1300, and exonerate the Bond."

The surety bail bond agreement and state law clearly indicate that a bail bond renewal premium may or will be charged to the client. However, the bail bond renewal premium is charged by the bail bond company (Second Party), not the surety insurer as indicated above. Thus, the surety insurer can care less if the bail bond company charges the client the renewal premium or not! This is where most clients and criminal defense attorneys have been mislead or misinformed by some bail bond company they have dealt with in the past.

For example, Fastrak Bail Bonds, finds it an unfair business practice to charge a client a renewal premium because the case has been delayed or continued due to unforeseen circumstances. Thus, we don't charge a renewal premium to our clients. The criminal court system is very busy, cases can be complex, why should the client have to be penalized again? This also provides relief for the retained criminal defense attorney, allowing them to focus on their client's best interests and not having to worry about the bail bond company.

Please contact us for further information regarding our SmartBail worry-free service. Thank you.

Do Bail Bonds Expire?

noreply@blogger.com (Michael) — Tue, 16 Nov 2010 19:51:00 +0000

Every so often, I run across a criminal defense attorney in court asking about the bail bond process and its procedure. Unfortunately, I find that the criminal lawyer has been either misinformed or mislead by some competitor in the past. Thus, by popular belief, many criminal attorneys and clients assume the client's bail bond will expire on the one year anniversary or some future date.

Sure, an unused bail bond has an expiration date of one year from the date of issue, but a client's issued bail bond never expires. At least this is true for the State of California. The bail bond or "power of attorney," as known in the commercial bail bond industry, is a legal instrument (contract) promising the defendant's appearance in court.

The "face sheet", is a letter size document accompanied with the bail bond. It outlines the defendant's case information; court of jurisdiction, appearance date, bail amount, and conditions of bail pursuant to sections of the California Penal Code. In the example given below, there is no mention of any expiration date?

Furthermore, the power-of-attorney or bail bond, is attached to face sheet when delivered to the county jail, detention facility, or courthouse. The bail bond does not indicate any expiration date as well. The illustrated power-of-attorney below is general example of what is used in the industry for the release of an arrestee from jail.

Hopefully, this information will give you some insight on how to better serve your clients when it pertains to bail.
