What Are Robbery Bail Bonds?
A plain-English breakdown of what makes robbery legally distinct from theft, and why it's always charged as a felony.
The Statute: Penal Code §211
PC §211 defines robbery as taking property from another person's immediate presence by force or fear. Unlike theft, robbery requires contact or the threat of it — even intimidation without a weapon qualifies.
Always a Felony, Never a Wobbler
Robbery carries no misdemeanor option in California. Every robbery conviction is a felony, and it's classified as a violent felony strike under the Three Strikes law.
First-Degree vs. Second-Degree
First-degree robbery applies to specific situations — against a transit operator/passenger, in an inhabited dwelling, or immediately after using an ATM — and carries 3, 4, or 6 years (up to 9 if committed with 2+ others in an inhabited structure). All other robbery is second-degree: 2, 3, or 5 years.
Even a Getaway Driver Faces the Same Penalty
Under the 'Estes robbery' doctrine, an aider or abettor — like a getaway driver who never personally used force — faces the same robbery penalties as the person who directly committed it.
What A Robbery Bail Bond Costs
| Total Bail | Standard 10% Premium | 1% Down | Remaining Financed Balance |
|---|---|---|---|
| $25,000 | $2,500 | $250 | $2,250 |
| $50,000 | $5,000 | $500 | $4,500 |
| $75,000 | $7,500 | $750 | $6,750 |
| $100,000 | $10,000 | $1,000 | $9,000 |
| $150,000 | $15,000 | $1,500 | $13,500 |
1% down is a qualification-based tier. The full 10% premium is set by California law. First-degree robbery, weapon use, or any prior strike typically move a case to a 5% or 10% tier.

Call (213) 510-2764Down Payment Tiers
Four tiers, assigned honestly based on the cosigner's profile and the degree filed. You'll know your tier before any paperwork moves.

3% Down
Who qualifies: Fair-good credit cosigner (640+), clean record.
Notes: Usual tier for second-degree robbery with no weapon.
5% Down
Who qualifies: Cosigner with limited credit but strong income.
Notes: Common on first-degree filings.
10% Down (Full Premium Up Front)
Who qualifies: No cosigner, weapon use alleged, prior strike, out-of-state defendant.
Notes: Very common given robbery's felony-only status.

We Explain Why This Isn't a Theft Charge Upfront
The force/fear element is what separates robbery from theft — and it's why bail is set so much higher. We walk through it before you sign anything.
Honest Qualification Upfront
If a first-degree filing or a prior strike takes you out of the lower tiers, we tell you before you sign.
Who Qualifies (And Who Doesn’t)
What Helps You Qualify
- Cosigner with verifiable income and stable employment
- Cosigner with a credit score generally 640 or higher for our lower tiers
- Second-degree filing with no weapon
- Local California address, no active out-of-state warrants
- No prior strike or violent conviction
What Moves You Up A Tier
- No cosigner available and no verifiable credit or income
- First-degree filing (transit, dwelling, or post-ATM robbery)
- Weapon use alleged
- Prior strike conviction
- Out-of-state defendant with no local ties
Lowest Tier
Cases Approved For 1% Down
These are the rare robbery profiles that can reach our lowest down-payment tier. Hit most of these and 1% down is realistic.
Second-Degree, No Weapon, First Offense
The cleanest robbery profile — still a felony, but the lowest exposure.
No Prior Strike or Violent Conviction
A clean record matters enormously on a strike offense.
Qualified Cosigner (700+)
Homeowner or verifiable equity, clean FTA history.
Cosigner Requirements
Underwriting
Cases At A Higher Tier
These factors move a robbery case out of the 1% tier. They don't make the bond impossible — they change the down payment.
First-Degree Robbery
Transit, inhabited-dwelling, or post-ATM robbery carries the highest exposure.
Prior Strike Conviction
Sentence doubles on a 2nd robbery, 25-to-life on a 3rd.
Prior FTA Or Bond Forfeiture
A history of missing court is the biggest underwriting red flag on any bond.
No Cosigner Or No Local Ties
Out-of-state defendant, no verifiable income, no cosigner available.
