There is a, what’s called a legal procedure, a 1275 hold that is used on some drug charges. And could you explain that a little bit and how you are able to help somebody who has a 1275 hold?

So, what the 1275 hold is, when a person’s arrested, the arresting officer usually requests that this 1275 hold be put on, which we’re not able to bail them out that same day.

The court asks us to provide them proof of where the bail premium came from to pay us. So, what we’ll do is we’ll get with a family or friend. We have to make sure the funds come from a legitimate source, so we’ll ask them for the bank statements or their paychecks, we’ll put that all together, present that to the court, and they’ll lift the 1275 hold.

Usually takes anywhere from two to four days, depending on how reactive the district attorney is to look over the 1275 package that we provide.
