Bail Schedules
Bay Area Felony Bail Schedules
At the Nieves Law Firm, our lawyers deal with a variety of practice areas, including felony offenses. If you are charged with a felony in the Bay Area, you may be required to pay bail. The amount of bail necessary for pre-trial release depends on the charge, so it is important that you are aware of your specific charge and its accompanying bail amount.
At our firm, we cover practice areas such as assault, drug charges, DUI charges, fraud, gang crimes, sex crimes, and more, all of which could be charged as a felony and require a large bail amount.
Bail amounts increase with prior convictions, violence used, larger quantities of drugs, or other enhancing factors. The bail schedule also adds additional bail for enhancements like using a weapon, participating in a gang, or committing an offense while on bail.
Bay Area Nontraffic Misdemeanor and Infraction Bail Schedules
While less severe than felonies, misdemeanors and infractions in the Bay Area still carry preset bail amounts on county schedules. It is imperative that you are aware of how an offense is being charged and what amount of bail is required.
Common misdemeanor charges include offenses like simple assault and battery or petty theft. Bay Area counties have bail schedules that list preset bail amounts for various misdemeanor charges.
The exact bail amount for a misdemeanor depends on the specific offense and any enhancing factors.
