Additional information: Large Bail Bonds & 1275 Holds
If you need bail bonds for a large bail amount (up in the millions), it is likely that a combination of property, assets, and money will be used. There must be a specific set of standards the court and bail bonds must meet. Contact us to learn more about bail bond options for large bail amounts. If the court holds a 1275 meeting, it is to examine the source of the funds used to post bail. In our experience at Ventura Bail Bonds, denial of funds is rare. But, each situation is unique, and will result in a different outcome.
