Our bail process
How the Bail Process Works in California
If You Discover a Warrant or Court Case You Weren’t Aware Of
At All Star Bail Bonds, we understand that people don’t always know when a warrant has been issued or when a case has been filed against them. Unfortunately, this can lead to unexpected arrests or court complications — especially when it involves someone you care about.
If you find yourself in this situation, call All Star Bail Bonds immediately. We’ll help you figure out what’s happening and guide you through the next steps quickly.
Step One: Identify the Courthouse
If you learn that a case has been filed, your first move is to locate the courthouse assigned to the defendant. You can call the court clerk, provide the name and date of birth, and request the case to be placed on the calendar.
In some situations, the court may allow the defendant to be released on their own recognizance, especially if they voluntarily appear and demonstrate responsibility.
If Bail Is Required, We’re Ready
If the court denies recognizance release, don’t worry — All Star Bail Bonds is prepared to post bail immediately.
We can request more time from the judge to arrange bail and will work closely with the court to get the release processed as quickly as possible.
Many courthouses experience delays because of limited staffing, but our experience and local connections allow us to move fast. We know who to call and what to do to keep things moving.
You Are Only Charged When We Secure a Release
Unlike some agencies, we never charge you unless we’re successfully posting bail.
Even if your case doesn’t require bail or doesn’t move forward, we still provide assistance because we believe in service, honesty, and long-term trust.
Many of our strongest referrals come from people we supported without ever collecting payment — and that’s what sets All Star Bail Bonds apart in Bakersfield.
Arraignment, Charges & Bail Options
If the defendant is in custody and then arraigned, they’ll be formally advised of the charges and asked to enter a plea.
Always consult with an attorney before making major decisions.
If the court denies recognizance release, bail may be required — and we’ll be ready to post it immediately.
If they qualify for release without bail, the judge will grant it. If not, we take action right away to prevent unnecessary delays.
Once arraignment concludes, a judge may remand the defendant and schedule another court date. Depending on the arrest location, they may be transferred to a city jail or county facility. During this entire process, All Star Bail Bonds stays by your side, ensuring you’re informed and your loved one is supported.
Mistakes in Court Information & Booking Records
Courts sometimes experience data errors or outdated booking information. When this happens, new paperwork must be submitted, which may delay release.
We help you navigate these setbacks while ensuring accuracy and speed whenever possible.

The truth is simple — dealing with law enforcement, courts, or public defenders can feel overwhelming, especially without legal experience.
