A warrant is one of the few situations where you can get ahead of an arrest instead of reacting to one. If there is a warrant out for you or a family member in Fresno County, you can often arrange a bond in advance and turn a frightening unknown into a planned, controlled step.
The two kinds of warrants
A bench warrant is issued by a judge, usually because someone missed a court date or did not follow a court order. An arrest warrant is issued when law enforcement has probable cause to arrest a person for a new offense. Both can lead to being taken into custody at a traffic stop, at home, or at work. Many warrants already have a bail amount attached, which is what makes planning ahead possible.
How a walk through bond works
When a warrant has a set bail, we can often arrange what people call a walk through bond. We prepare the paperwork ahead of time so the person can surrender at the jail, get booked, and bond out with the shortest possible stay in custody, sometimes a matter of hours rather than days. It turns a chaotic arrest into a scheduled appointment. We coordinate the timing so everyone knows what to expect.
What a warrant bond costs
The premium is the same regulated 10 percent of the bail listed on the warrant, and our payment plans apply here too. We confirm the bail amount on the warrant first, then quote the exact premium. See our cost page for how the math works.

Handle it on your terms
Clearing a warrant the right way, with a bond ready and a plan in place, is far better than waiting to be picked up. We keep it discreet and organized from start to finish. Learn how bail bonds work or call to talk it through.
