How does bail work in Louisiana?
When someone is arrested, the court sets a bail amount. By posting bail, you’re guaranteeing that the defendant will appear in court. At First Class Bail Bonds, we post the bail for you so your loved one can be released quickly while awaiting trial.
How long does it take to get someone out of jail?
Release times can vary depending on the parish and jail, but most of our clients are released within a few hours once the bond is posted and processed.
What information do I need when I call?
You’ll need the person’s full name, date of birth, the jail or parish where they’re being held, and (if possible) their booking number. If you don’t have all the details, we can help look them up.
Can I post bail for someone in another parish?
Absolutely. We serve Baton Rouge, Ascension, Livingston, West Baton Rouge, and Iberville Parishes
