Our bail process

What to Do if There’s a Warrant or Court Case You Didn’t Know About

At Buzzy’s Bail Bonds, we understand that sometimes a person may not even know they have a warrant or a case filed against them — and unfortunately, in many cases, this leads to their case being rejected before they can even act. It’s one of the worst situations to be in, especially if it involves someone you care about. If this happens, don’t hesitate to call Buzzy’s immediately. We’re here to help you sort it out and respond quickly.

Step One: Identify the Courthouse

If you discover that a case has been filed, your first step is to find out which courthouse the defendant is assigned to. You can call the court receptionist and ask for the case to be placed on the schedule. In some instances, it’s possible to convince the court to release the defendant on their own recognizance — especially if they show responsibility by appearing voluntarily.

If Bail is Required, We’re Ready

If the judge denies the recognizance release, don’t worry — Buzzy’s Bail Bonds will be there to post bail. Our team can request an extension from the court to allow time for the bail to be arranged. While final decisions are always at the judge’s discretion, we work closely with the courts to support your release however we can. In many courthouses, the process can be delayed if there are not enough staff at the clerk’s office to process a bond. That’s where we shine — our local network and experience mean we know exactly who to call and what to do to get things moving faster.

We Only Charge When We Help

Unlike some bail agencies, we will never charge you unless we are actually securing a release. Even if the bond doesn’t go through, we’ll still go the extra mile to assist — because we know that service and integrity matter. Many of our referrals come from people we’ve helped, even when no money was exchanged. That’s how we build lasting trust in the Bakersfield community.

Arraignment, Charges, and Bail Options

If the defendant is taken into custody and arraigned, they’ll be formally presented with charges and asked to enter a plea. Always talk to a lawyer before making legal decisions. If they plead not guilty, the court will then decide on the issue of bail — and whether the defendant qualifies for release on their own recognizance. If denied, the court may require a bond, and we’ll be ready to post it right away.

After arraignment, if bail is not posted, the judge may remand the defendant and schedule another court date. They’ll likely be transferred from a city jail to a county or regional facility, depending on where the arrest occurred. During this entire process, Buzzy’s Bail Bonds is your trusted partner, keeping you informed, involved, and supported.

Mistakes in Court Data and Booking Forms

Sometimes, due to court or clerical errors, new booking forms must be submitted after hours of delay. We’ll help you navigate these setbacks, ensuring the process moves as quickly as possible while maintaining accuracy.

We’ll Guide You Every Step of the Way

Let’s be honest — it’s not always easy dealing with police, courts, or public defenders, especially without an attorney. But that’s why Buzzy’s is here. We make sure you understand every available option so that you can make the best possible decision during one of the most stressful times in your life.

Serving time feels like forever — but we’ll be beside you and your loved ones for as long as it takes.
