An assault charge can come from a bar fight, a family dispute, or a moment that got out of hand in ways nobody expected. Whatever led to the arrest, the person you love is sitting in a Sacramento jail cell right now, and getting them out is the priority. Hand In Hand Bail Bonds has posted assault bail bonds for Sacramento families since 1995.
What Happens When You Call Us About an Assault Arrest
You won't spend the call explaining the legal system to yourself. Our agent will ask a few questions about the arrest, look up what jail your loved one is being held at, and start working the bond immediately.
What families can expect from us:
- Coverage for every level of assault charge, from simple assault to aggravated assault and assault with a deadly weapon.
- Real relationships with local facilities, including Sacramento County Main Jail and Rio Cosumnes Correctional Center, built over years of daily contact.
- Paperwork that travels, so a parent or spouse out of town can still sign and submit documents without driving in.
Types of Assault Bonds We Post
Assault charges in California range widely in severity, and bail moves accordingly. Here's a look at the cases we handle regularly.
Simple Assault Bail Bonds
Simple assault covers threats or attempts to cause harm, even without physical contact. Bail is usually lower here, but the case still requires a proper bond to secure release.

Contact UsFrequently Asked Questions
Does an assault charge always come with a protective order?
Not always, but it's common in domestic assault cases specifically. If one is issued, it may restrict contact between the defendant and the alleged victim, and violating it can lead to additional charges.
How is bail decided for assault cases?
Judges typically look at the severity of the alleged harm, whether a weapon was involved, and the defendant's criminal history. Two assault arrests can result in very different bail amounts depending on these factors.
What if the alleged victim doesn't want to press charges?
The decision to prosecute belongs to the district attorney, not the alleged victim, so charges can move forward even without their cooperation. Bail still needs to be addressed regardless of how the victim feels about the case.
Is assault always a felony?
No, many assault charges are filed as misdemeanors, particularly simple assault without a weapon or serious injury. Aggravating factors like weapons or prior offenses are what typically push a charge to felony level.
How fast can someone get out after an assault arrest?
Once bail is set and we've completed our paperwork, release depends on the jail's own processing time. We stay in contact with the facility throughout to keep things moving.
What if the defendant misses a court date after release?
Missing a court date can result in a bench warrant and forfeiture of the bail amount. It's important to attend every scheduled date, and we're happy to answer questions about the requirements before your loved one is released.
