- Finding the bail amount: Los Angeles County uses a bail schedule tied to each charge. Once booking is complete, the jail can usually confirm the amount.
- Reaching the bondsman: The co-signer contacts Brad's Bail Bonds Lakewood with the defendant's name, date of birth and booking number if available, so the office can verify the case.
- Signing as co-signer: The co-signer reviews and signs the bond application and indemnity agreement, which makes them responsible for the defendant's court appearances.
- Release and hearings: After the bond is posted, the jail releases the defendant, who must then appear in Bellflower, Long Beach or wherever the case is assigned.
