Lakewood
Bail Bonds
Lakewood has no city police department — arrests are handled by the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department and booked at the Lakewood Sheriff's Station on Clark Avenue, staffed around the clock. We post there and at the downtown county facilities. 10% premium, 1% down on approved credit.

Why Choose Midnight In Lakewood
Licensed agents on every shift, honest answers about where your family member actually is, and financing built for families who didn't plan on an arrest this week.
We Work The Lakewood Station Directly
The Lakewood Sheriff's Station is staffed 24 hours and serves more than Lakewood itself — Artesia, Bellflower, Hawaiian Gardens, and Paramount all book there. That means the person you're looking for may have been arrested in a neighboring city and still be sitting on Clark Avenue. We check that station first before assuming a downtown transfer.
24/7 Availability
A licensed agent answers the phone at 3 a.m. on a Sunday the same way we answer at 3 p.m. on a Wednesday. Lakewood bookings do not wait for business hours, and neither do we.
Bilingual Agents
English and Spanish-speaking agents on every shift. Premium, cosigner obligations, and payment terms get explained in the language your family actually speaks.
No Collateral In Most Cases
Most bonds under $100,000 are written on a qualified signature alone — no property, no pink slip. Above that, collateral may be requested depending on the charge and how the cosigner qualifies.
Affordable Payment Plans
California fixes the premium at 10% of the bail. The down payment is what flexes — as low as 1% on approved credit, with the balance on a written plan.
Licensed & Accountable
California License #1846101, with a staffed office at 965 N Vignes St #5, Los Angeles, CA 90012 covering Lakewood — a real office with real agents, not a national call center routing your case to a stranger.
How Bail Bonds Work In Lakewood
Lakewood is contract-policed by the Sheriff's Department, so the sequence runs through an LASD station rather than a municipal jail: book at Lakewood Station, bail set from the county-wide schedule, bond posted wherever the defendant actually is.
Arrest & Booking At Lakewood Sheriff's Station
LASD deputies book at 5130 N Clark Ave. Fingerprints, photo, and record checks have to clear before a bond can post — usually a few hours, longer on weekend nights when the station is taking bookings from all five cities it serves.
Bail Set From The County Schedule
Bail comes from the Los Angeles County Superior Court felony and misdemeanor schedule, the same figures used county-wide. Once the charge and schedule amount are confirmed, we quote the exact premium before you pay anything.
Call Midnight — We Confirm Where They Are
Call (213) 295-7796 with a full legal name and date of birth. We check the Lakewood city booking and the LA County system, tell you where they are right now, and read back the exact bail amount and premium before you pay anything.
Qualification & Approval
A short cosigner conversation — employment, residence, and how the balance gets paid. Most approvals take minutes, and most Lakewood bonds require no collateral.
Bond Posted Where They Actually Are
We post at the facility holding the defendant, whether that's the city jail or a downtown county facility after transfer. Release from a municipal jail is usually faster; Twin Towers and the Inmate Reception Center run a processing queue that can take several hours, longer on weekends.
Payment Plan Begins
The remaining premium is paid on the written schedule agreed up front. No surprise fees, and we remind you of every court date so the bond stays in good standing.
Bail amounts for Lakewood arrests come from the Los Angeles Superior Court felony and misdemeanor bail schedule, the same county-wide schedule used for every other city in Los Angeles County.

What Bail Bonds Cost In Lakewood
The premium is fixed by California law. The down payment is where we can help.
The Premium Is 10% — By Law
Bail premium rates in California are filed with and approved by the Department of Insurance under Cal. Ins. Code §1800. A bondsman quoting a Lakewood family less than the filed 10% premium as the total cost is quoting something they can't legally deliver.
The Premium Is Earned, Not Refundable
Once the bond is posted the premium is earned in full — whether the case is dismissed at arraignment or runs two years. That's the price of the surety, not a deposit held against the bail.
The Down Payment Is What's Negotiable
Down payments start as low as 1% of the bail on approved credit. The remainder of the 10% premium is financed on a written plan with fixed installments you agree to before signing.
Collateral Isn't Usually Required
Most Lakewood bonds under $100,000 are written on a qualified cosigner's signature. Larger bonds may call for collateral depending on the charge and the cosigner's file.
| Bail Amount | 10% Premium | Down At 1% |
|---|---|---|
| $20,000 | $2,000 | $200 |
| $50,000 | $5,000 | $500 |
| $100,000 | $10,000 | $1,000 |
The 1% figure is a down payment on approved credit, not a discounted premium — the full 10% is still owed on the payment plan. For the full 1% through 10% tier comparison and who qualifies for each, see affordable bail bonds.
Lakewood Jails We Serve
Lakewood arrests are booked at the Sheriff's station on Clark Avenue. Custody beyond a short hold moves into LA County facilities downtown, so families should expect to track a booking across two locations.
Lakewood Sheriff's Station (LASD)
5130 N Clark Ave, Lakewood, CA 90712
(562) 623-3500
Staffed 24 hours. The booking point for Lakewood and for the surrounding contract cities of Artesia, Bellflower, Hawaiian Gardens, and Paramount. Short-term custody — longer holds move into the LA County system downtown.
Where Lakewood Arrestees Transfer
Twin Towers Correctional Facility
450 Bauchet St, Los Angeles, CA 90012
Downtown county intake plus medical and mental-health housing. The most common destination for anyone held beyond a short municipal stay.
Men's Central Jail
441 Bauchet St, Los Angeles, CA 90012
Adjacent to Twin Towers; houses much of the county's male population after intake processing.
Century Regional Detention Facility
11705 S Alameda St, Lynwood, CA 90262
The county's primary women's facility — where women transferred out of a city jail are housed.
What We Need When You Call
Have these ready and we can locate the booking — city jail or county — and quote the premium on the first call.
Defendant's Full Legal Name
First, middle, and last as it appears on their ID. Nicknames slow the jail search.
Date of Birth
Prevents confusion when multiple people share the same name in the booking system.
City or County of Arrest
Tells us which jail to check first — Riverside, San Bernardino, LA, Orange, or San Diego.
Booking Number (If Available)
Not required, but if you have it, it speeds up locating the record considerably.
Cosigner Contact Info
Cosigner's name, phone, employer, and general credit range — this is what determines your financing terms.
Your Relationship to the Defendant
Family, friend, or coworker — helps us know who to loop in on updates and paperwork.
Most Common Bail Charges In Lakewood
Bail is set by the Los Angeles County Superior Court schedule, not by the city — so a Lakewood booking starts from the same figures as one anywhere else in the county. The ranges below are county schedule ranges, not city-specific numbers.
DUI
County schedule range: $5,000 – $100,000
A first misdemeanor DUI sits at the low end of the schedule and can sometimes release on citation. Priors, injury, or a high BAC push the amount up fast.
View PageDomestic Violence
County schedule range: $50,000 – $100,000
Corporal injury filings book high and usually come with a protective order at arraignment. Release conditions matter as much as the bond — we walk cosigners through both before anything is signed.
View PageDrug Possession & Sale
County schedule range: $10,000 – $100,000+
Simple possession books low and often qualifies for diversion. Possession for sale and transportation book far higher, and weight or priors move the number quickly.
View PageAssault & Battery
PC §240 / §245(a)(1)
County schedule range: $25,000 – $50,000
Simple battery books at the low end. Assault with a deadly weapon is a strike-eligible felony and books substantially higher, often with additional enhancements filed.
View PageTheft & Burglary
PC §484/§487 and PC §459
County schedule range: $20,000 – $50,000
Petty theft books low; grand theft and first-degree residential burglary book substantially higher and carry felony jail or prison exposure. Burglary has its own dedicated page on this site.
View PageAbout Lakewood
Lakewood sits in southeast Los Angeles County between Long Beach, Bellflower, Cerritos, and Hawaiian Gardens, framed by the 91, the 605, and the 405. It's a largely residential post-war city with no police department of its own — public safety is contracted to the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department.
That contract arrangement is the practical detail for bail. There is no Lakewood city jail; there's a Sheriff's station, and it serves several cities at once. A family calling about a Bellflower or Paramount arrest can find their person at the same Clark Avenue counter, and a Lakewood arrestee held past a short stay ends up downtown like everyone else in the county system.
Lakewood cases are filed in the Los Angeles County Superior Court system, and bail is set from the county-wide schedule rather than any city-level rule. Courthouse assignment depends on the filing; we'll confirm what we can for your case and point you to the court's own information rather than guessing.
