Santa Barbara County Bail Bonds
When someone’s arrested around here, speed is everything. A first-time DUI can run over $1,800 in court penalties alone, before legal fees, towing, impound charges, or insurance hikes even hit. Add it all up and you’re easily past $10,000 in total costs. Whether it’s you, a friend, or family member, every delay costs more time, more money, and sometimes more freedom.

In this area, most cases follow a preset schedule. That means most arrests already have an expected release figure, unless a judge changes it due to circumstances like prior offenses or violent enhancements. Here’s what release amounts usually look like:
- Type of Offense
- Estimated Amount
- First DUI, petty theft, probation violations
- ~$5,000
- Lower-level nonviolent charges
- ~$2,500*
- Burglary, felony DUI, gun possession
- $50,000–$100,000
- Aggravated assault, arson, violent felonies
- Up to $250,000
- Judges can adjust these numbers based on aggravating details — such as:
- Open or multiple cases
- Use of a weapon
- History of domestic violence or resisting arrest
The Real Cost of an Arrest
- Defense attorneys: $5,000–$25,000
- Impound/towing: $250–$1,200 depending on hold duration
- DUI school or court-ordered classes: $600–$1,200
- License suspension reinstatement: $100+
- Ignition interlock installation: $70/month, plus setup fees
- Insurance premium spikes: Several thousand over 3–5 years
- Lost wages: Even 1–2 missed shifts can hurt, especially for hourly jobs
And if the person held down the household income or had court the next morning? That financial impact lands immediately.
