Why Pomona Families Call Us After a Sentencing
Bail Bonds Pomona has served 867+ clients across 20+ years. If your relative plans an appeal, we explain the appeal bonds Pomona families use in plain words and show where a bond fits.
Respect After a Conviction
Our agents give you the same respect after a conviction as any other caller. They keep the talk on the bond and leave questions about the verdict to your relative's defense lawyer.
Patient Answers for First-Time Callers
If this is your first brush with bail, ask anything. We explain who decides bail on appeal and how the 10% premium works, and we cover any part again on request.
Apply by Phone or Through the Form
You can start the application by phone or through the form, at home or in the courthouse hallway after the hearing. You can start the bond without a drive across town.
Updates From Filing to Release
You hear from us when we file the bond and when the jail releases your relative, which in our experience takes 2-6 hours after posting. We explain what happens after posting bail.
Los Angeles and San Bernardino Counties
We cover Los Angeles and San Bernardino counties. A San Bernardino felony appeal goes to the Fourth District Court of Appeal, Division Two, in Riverside, and we post bonds at West Valley Detention Center.
Where an Appeal Bond Fits After a Conviction
Under PC 1273, appeal bail is a promise: if the judgment stands, your relative pays the fine or surrenders for jail or prison time; after a reversal, they appear for any new trial.
Misdemeanor appeal bail is a right when the judgment imposed a fine or jail time (PC 1272). These Pomona appeals go to the appellate division of the Superior Court of Los Angeles County (PC 1466), with the notice of appeal due within 30 days.
Most felony appeal bail is discretionary. PC 1272.1 requires clear and convincing proof your relative is unlikely to flee or endanger anyone. The appeal must seek more than delay and raise a substantial question likely to bring reversal if they win it.
Waiting on a Probation Ruling
Misdemeanor bail before judgment is a right while your relative seeks probation (PC 1272). Felony probation continues on appeal unless a court stays it (PC 1243). If probation includes jail (PC 1203.1), the defense can seek appeal bail, and we review the amount.
Bail While a Habeas Petition Is Pending
A habeas corpus petition asks a court to inquire into the cause of someone's custody (PC 1473). If your relative sits in custody on a bailable criminal charge, the judge handling the petition may grant bail until the court rules (PC 1476).
Asking for a Stay of Sentence
Filing an appeal does not stop the judgment from taking effect. The trial or reviewing court may order a stay (PC 1243 for felonies, PC 1467 for misdemeanors). A stay and bail are separate requests, and a bail bond covers only the second.
The Court That Decides
The defense asks the superior court first, such as Pomona Courthouse South, 400 Civic Center Plaza. In a Los Angeles County felony, the Second District Court of Appeal reviews bail only after the defense shows that court denied it without justification (rule 8.312).

Three Simple Steps to a Bail Bond
1
Initial Payment
Phone (888) 998-9511 whenever the arrest happens. Once you know the bail amount, you review and sign the agreement, then make a low down payment toward the standard 10% premium.
2
Customized Payment Plan
We split the remaining premium into a written payment schedule built around your budget. A long case adds no second premium, since California outlawed renewal premiums in 2022 (Penal Code 1276.1).
3
Securing Release
A licensed agent files the bond with the jail or station holding your relative. That facility sets its own release pace, and we keep your family posted until your relative walks out.

Appeal Bond FAQ for Pomona Families
Start with the cost answers, then see why LA County's zero-bail rules end before any conviction. Pomona appeal bonds vary by case, so have the court's bail order ready.
How much does an appeal bond cost?
You pay a 10% premium on the bail the judge sets for the appeal, as our bail bond cost guide explains. Bail of $40,000 on appeal, for example, means a $4,000 premium. PC 1276.1 bans renewal premiums, so you owe that amount once, however long the appeal takes.
How much do you pay for a $50,000 surety bond?
On $50,000 of criminal bail, the 10% premium is $5,000. If you qualify for 8% through military service, union membership or a private attorney on the case, you pay $4,000. A civil appeal (supersedeas) bond is a different product, governed by Code of Civil Procedure 917.1.
How much do you have to pay if your bond is $25,000?
At the standard 10% rate, a $25,000 bond carries a $2,500 premium, or $2,000 if you qualify for the 8% rate. You pay a low down payment, then settle the rest on a written schedule. On an appeal, we read the court's bail order with you first.
Where can I find bail bonds in Pomona, California?
Call (888) 998-9511 24/7 from anywhere, or send the site form. A licensed agent posts the bond where your relative is in custody: an LA County jail or West Valley Detention Center in Rancho Cucamonga after sentencing, or Pomona City Jail, 490 W. Mission Blvd., after a new arrest.
Do I still need a bail bond under LA County zero bail?
Yes, if a court sets bail on the appeal. LA County's Pre-Arraignment Release Protocol applies before arraignment and stops there. After conviction, PC 1272 makes misdemeanor appeal bail a right, leaves most felony appeal bail to the judge, and allows none for offenses carrying death or life without parole.
