BAIL BONDS FAQ’s
At Synergy Bail Bonds, we quickly process bail so you or your loved one can be released from custody as quickly as possible
A Bail Bond is a financial warranty made by or on behalf of a criminal defendant and used to guarantee their appearance in court throughout their trial.
There are two things Synergy Bail Bonds needs from a cosigner to bail someone out of jail:
1. Valid Driver’s License or state issued ID card
2. Current paycheck stub
A Judge within the county of arrest sets the bail amount and the process is regulated by the State of California. Once bail is set, a Synergy Bail Bonds agent will calculate a fee based on regulation by the State of California. The bond is posted and the defendant is released once Synergy Bail Bonds receives payment and has established a qualified cosigner.
The bail bond amount is the full amount of bail set by the court. The premium is the dollar amount charged by Synergy Bail Bonds for providing the pre-trial release service. Usually, the premium is 10% of the bail amount and is regulated by the State of California, e.g., if the bail amount is $20,000, the premium is $2,000.
Our bail agents are fast, and can often complete the process in 15 minutes.
Cash, Credit Card, Money Order, Check or Bank Deposit
Most jails take 30 minutes to four hours. The length of time depends on the county and jail the defendant was arrested.

No, after Synergy Bail Bonds posts the bond, the money is non-refundable and the premium balance is still due in full, and your payment plan must remain current.
The cosigner/indemnitor is a person or people willing to be responsible for the defendant while out on bail, and also assumes financial responsibility, including guaranteeing the full bail bond amount.
A bail bond is exonerated when the trial has finished. The bail bond is discharged regardless of the outcome of the trial. However, all unpaid premium, court, attorney, and other fees charged by Synergy Bail Bonds are still owed.
Reinstatement could be granted if a defendant has failed to appear in court. The court may remove the bench warrant and reactivate or reinstate the bail bond. The defendant working with Synergy Bail Bonds will report back to court, which allows the court to set a new court date for the defendant. The proceeding may result in additional fees to the defendant and cosigner.
No, but the defendant must immediately report to their local Synergy Bail Bonds office upon release.
