Bail Bonds

Hemet Jail at 450 E Latham Ave, (951) 765-2400, is run by the independent Hemet Police Department and holds people arrested by Hemet PD inside the city. The Riverside County Sheriff's Hemet Station is a separate county facility serving nearby unincorporated communities and the contracted city of San Jacinto. Different agencies, different jurisdictions, same city name. Call us and we'll tell you which one has your person.

Often yes, while the defendant is still in Hemet PD custody on East Latham Avenue. Once a transfer to a county facility has begun, the bond has to be posted where the defendant actually is. Call with a name and date of birth before anyone drives — the county facilities are thirty-five miles or more from Hemet in either direction.

Either the Larry D. Smith Correctional Facility in Banning, which is the closest county jail to the San Jacinto Valley, or Robert Presley in downtown Riverside. Both happen, and which one depends on classification and population. We confirm the facility before writing the bond rather than guessing — call (951) 692-7388.

No — we don't have a Hemet location, and we won't pretend otherwise. We serve Hemet from our staffed office at 3959 Market St Ste C, Riverside, CA 92501. Our agents post at the Hemet city jail and at the county detention centers where arrestees are transferred, so coverage is full either way.

No. Bail is set from the Riverside County Superior Court felony and misdemeanor bail schedule, which applies county-wide. A DUI booked in Hemet starts from the same schedule figure as one booked anywhere else in Riverside County. What changes city to city is the facility and the timeline, not the number.

Usually not. Most bonds under $100,000 are written on a qualified cosigner's signature alone. Above that threshold, collateral may be requested depending on the charge, the bail amount, and how the cosigner qualifies.

Yes. A licensed agent answers (951) 692-7388 every hour of every day, weekends and holidays included, and we post overnight at both the city facility and the county facilities.

The judge can forfeit the bond and issue a bench warrant. There's a statutory window to bring the defendant back before the forfeiture becomes a judgment against the cosigner — call us the same day it happens, because that window is the difference between a fixable problem and a financial one.

The premium is 10% of the bail. The down payment is what varies — qualified clients start as low as 1% down on approved credit, with the balance on a written payment plan. On a $50,000 bail that's a $5,000 premium and a $500 down payment at the 1% tier.
