High bail does not mean no bail. We post felony bonds for all charge levels and all bail amounts. Licensed agents ready now.
A felony charge in California carries more serious consequences than a misdemeanor, and bail is typically set significantly higher. The Stanislaus County bail schedule provides standard amounts for many felony charges, but a judge at arraignment can modify bail based on the severity of the offense, criminal history, flight risk, and ties to the community.
Common felony charges we handle in Stanislaus County include assault and battery, robbery, burglary, drug trafficking, grand theft, weapons charges, felony domestic violence, vehicular manslaughter, and sex offenses. Each carries a different bail range and we are familiar with all of them.
High bail is not the end of the story. At 10 percent of the bail amount, paid in installments for qualified co-signers, a $100,000 bail becomes a $10,000 premium spread over time. We walk you through the specific numbers honestly on the first call. See also our pages on DUI bail and domestic violence bail for specific charge types.

A misdemeanor arrest in California often results in release on own recognizance or a citation. A felony arrest is different. Bail is almost always required, amounts are substantially higher, and the arraignment hearing carries much more weight in determining final bail.
At arraignment, typically within 48 to 72 hours of arrest, the defendant enters a plea and the judge reviews bail. A defense attorney can argue for bail reduction at this hearing based on factors including community ties, employment history, and the specific circumstances of the alleged offense. Being out of custody for arraignment instead of appearing in custody significantly affects how the defendant is perceived by the court.
We handle everything from low-level felony charges to serious violent felony cases. The process is the same regardless of the charge level: we prepare the paperwork, post the bond, and stay with you through the entire release process. The 10 percent premium can be paid on a plan for qualified co-signers.
In cases involving extremely serious charges, certain violent felonies, repeat offenders with flight history, a judge may order the defendant held without bail. If this happens, a defense attorney can file a motion to reconsider. Once bail is set, we can move immediately.
