Warrant & Bench Warrant Bail Bonds in San Bernardino

First, Confirm the Warrant

Not every warrant is the same. A bench warrant often follows a missed court date; an arrest warrant may come from a new case. Each has its own bail amount, or none. Before doing anything else, we confirm what kind of warrant it is, which court issued it and whether bail is set.

If the person has already been picked up, check the San Bernardino County Sheriff inmate locator (https://wp.sbcounty.gov/sheriff/inmate-locator/) before assuming where they are held. Location can change quickly after an arrest.

Your Options With a Warrant

Depending on the case, a warrant may be recalled by the court, or the person may need to appear in court before release. In other cases, bail can be posted on the warrant. We explain what applies in plain language, without promising an outcome.

Many San Bernardino criminal matters are handled at the San Bernardino Justice Center, Criminal Division, 247 W. Third Street. A defense attorney can advise on whether to request a recall or a court date.

Posting a Bond on a Warrant

When bail is set, a licensed bail agent can post a bond for the full amount in exchange for a premium, which in California is generally 10% of the bail. Payment plans may be available on approved credit.

Our office at 165 W Hospitality Ln Ste C4 is close to the downtown courts. For deeper detail, see our county bench warrant and failure-to-appear pages.
