Murrieta Jail Release and Bail

At the Law Office of Stephen R. Brodsky, our Riverside criminal defense lawyers specialize in Murrieta jail release and bail, striving to have defendant's released without spending a substantial amount of money. We know that those who have been arrested and their families want to spend the least amount of time possible incarcerated. Since 1988, we have worked diligently on behalf of those charged with a criminal offense to protect their legal rights and freedom.

Bail options for those being held in Murrieta

Unless your loved one has been incarcerated before, you may have no idea what your bail options are. To be released from the Southwest Detention Center in Murrieta, you must:

a) be released on your own recognizance (O.R. release), or

b) post bail, either paying the full bail amount or 10% through a bail bondsman

It is essential that before you contact a bail bondsman, you discuss the options with a reputable Riverside criminal defense lawyer. Many bail agents offer reduced fees (usually about 8% rather than 10%) for defendants who are represented by an attorney. Additionally, an attorney may be able to persuade the judge to reduce bail or waive it altogether.

Will you get your bail money back?

If you pay the cash bail in full, you will be refunded your money if all court appearances are met. However, the money paid to a bail agent is non-refundable, as this is their fee for getting the defendant released from jail.

Most people simply do not have the financial resources to pay the full cash bail amount, and therefore work with a bail agent to be released from the Murrieta jail. However, it is important to keep in mind that before you make a decision, contact a Riverside criminal defense lawyer who will work to determine the best possible - and most affordable - solution.

How is the amount of bail determined?

The judge will set the bail required for the defendant to be released from the Murrieta jail, which is usually determined based on a number of factors:

a) defendant's criminal history

b) seriousness of the crime the defendant is accused of

c) whether the defendant is a flight risk

Bail amounts generally range from $20,000 to as much as $5,000,000 for particularly serious or violent crimes. Even at 10% (what bail agents typically charge), the cost can be substantial. This is why it is essential that you consult with an experienced Riverside criminal defense attorney who is skilled in negotiating bail and having defendants released from jail.
