What to have ready after a DUI arrest
Gather the person’s full name, detention location, and any available booking details. If you know the court-set bail amount, share it when you call. We’ll discuss what information is needed to explore a bond.
A bond addresses release, not the DUI charge
Arranging a bond does not resolve the criminal case. The person still needs to attend required court appearances and follow release conditions. A bail agent explains the bond agreement; an attorney advises on the charge and legal options.
Ask about eligibility before making arrangements
We cannot promise that a bond is available in every case or guarantee a release time. Confirm the current bail or release order and any facility processing requirements. Review the Washoe County release information for general local guidance.
Understand costs and responsibilities
Before signing, ask about fees, collateral, payment terms, and co-signer obligations. Payment plans may be available, subject to approval. Keep a copy of the agreement and ask how to reach your agent for bond-related questions.
Plan the next steps
Arrange appropriate transportation after release and keep court information in one place. Contact your attorney about case-specific legal questions.
