Bail-Bonds in Los Angeles Still Up and Running to Help During COVID-19 Lockdown

LOS ANGELES, California.- If you have been arrested or know someone currently in custody awaiting trial, Angels Bail Bonds is here to let you know they can still count on the immediate and safe help from our bail bondsmen in Los Angeles and the rest of California, even during the COVID-19 crisis, as they have come to expect from us for more than 40 years.

There has actually been an increase in demand for bail bonds after a recent order from the state lowering bail for several crimes. This has made it easier for many people awaiting their day in court to afford bail. All the while, California judges are still setting bails and anybody arrested on the suspicion of doing a crime is held in detention before their trial. All suspects of non-violent crimes have the option of being released on bail.

Los Angeles Bail Bonds remind people bails are still being required for release

With the coronavirus pandemic affecting thousands of businesses statewide, it’s understandable that many people might believe that some services, like bail-bonds, can be closed. But Angels Bail Bonds is reassuring residents of Los Angeles and Southern California they are still here to offer their services when needed, even during these hard times.

There has also been some confusion because of an emergency order that was passed by the California Judicial Council on April 6, which set bail at zero dollars for most misdemeanors and low-level felonies in order to reduce the prison and jail population in the state during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Bail Bonds in Los Angeles Are A Go After District Court of Appeal Ruling

However, the Fourth District Court of Appeal recently ruled that judges still have the power to set bail amounts and conditions on a case-by-case basis. This, and the fact that many other crimes still require bail, keeps us working hard on cases throughout Southern California.

“Chewey and team haven’t stopped helping people be free while they await their date in front of a judge or court, even with the coronavirus crisis”, said Patricia Smith. “Our bail bondsmen are handling cases remotely and following safe social distancing while they get the paperwork done and process your request for a bail bond. The courts have actually made that easier for us since COVID-19”.

COVID-19 Has Lead to Court System and Any Los Angeles Bail Bondsman Work More Remotely

The California judicial system is now allowing new measures to be used when processing suspects that use remote technologies for their pretrial criminal hearings. Time frames are now longer for many temporary restraining orders, while electronic depositions are now allowed in civil lawsuits.
