Fresno Bail Bonds
Fresno Bail Bond Store occupies a spot in the downtown courthouse district that few bail offices can match, about a block from the Fresno County annex jails. For families arriving at the jail late at night, that proximity can mean a quicker start.
The office serves Fresno and Fresno County, and most of its work involves defendants held downtown and heading to hearings in the criminal courts just around the corner.
A Downtown Bail Office in the Courthouse District
Fresno Bail Bond Store works with people who need to post bail for someone in Fresno County custody. Its office is located in the cluster of jail and court buildings that make up the core of the county's criminal justice system downtown, which makes it a convenient stop for families who are already at the jail or courthouse.
Because so many Fresno County cases move between the annex jails and the criminal departments within a few blocks of each other, an office in this area is well placed to check booking status, explain bail and get the co-signer's paperwork completed in one visit. Callers should be ready with the defendant's full name, date of birth and, if they have it, the booking number.
