Bail Bonds DIRECT is a fully licenced and bonded professional business. One of the most trusted names in the industry. Our staff of Bail Bond Agents are professionals who know the West Los Angeles jails.
Whether a person has been arrested for domestic violence, DUI, DWI or any other offense the process is the same. Persons taken into custody by the West Los Angeles Police or Sheriff's Department will be held at either the West Los Angeles Police Station Jail, Sheriff's Station Jail or will be transfered to the Los Angeles County Jail (IRC) and will be kept there until their first court date called the "Arraignment." Bail is allowed to be posted in any facility 24hrs a day, 7 days a week.
Before a bail bond is turned in and accepted, the arrestee must pass a background check through "Live Scan", which is a machine that is linked to a county, state and national database. That database will notify the authorities of any possible holds, warrants, or aliases that might prevent release or increase the total bail amount of an arrestee. Once the results of the Live Scan come back from the various government agencies, that person is then "cleared" to bond out. At this time, a jailor will review and accept a Bail Bond for an arrestee and release them on the Bail Bond.
From the time a Bail Bond is turned in, it takes between 30 minutes and 3 hours for a release depending on the facility where the person is being held. Release times do vary based on the workload of the West Los Angeles jail's staff as well as the type of facility. Once out, a person will need to complete his or her part of the paper work, take a picture, and make sure to show up to each and every court date thereafter.
In addition to being bail bonds agents we are proud members of the West Los Angeles community.
West Los Angeles is part of the larger region known as the 'Westside' located in Los Angeles. The area that is now West Los Angeles was originally part of the Rancho San Vicente y Santa Monica. At the beginning of the 20th century, the area was home to mostly bean and wheat fields, but soon Japanese immigrants settled in the area and established orchards and nurseries. Many of the nurseries that were started in the early 20th century still exist today along Swatelle Boulevard. The core of the city was originally incorporated as part of the City of Swatelle in 1902. The area today is an affluent neighborhood and has a large commercial population with many high-rise office buildings. Much of the housing in the area are a mixture of single story homes built between 1920 to 1960 and low-rise apartment buildings. Most of these homes are occupied by working class families and young professionals. Many of the schools in the area are very well-respected and are of high quality. The area is home to a secondary school, University High School, named for nearby UCLA, is one of the few older schools that has not been rebuilt following damages from earthquakes. The school also still has the traditional look featuring weathered bricks and arched entry ways. The campus is very popular among movie studios due to its traditional look and filming has been known to take place even during the school year. Within the boundaries of the campus, there sits an artesian well, which even in the driest seasons, has never failed to produce water. The well was claimed by the Tongva people as being their ancestral home.
