Windsor Square Bail Bonds
By Jane Un, licensed bail agent #1843448. Updated October 29, 2026.
Arrests in a quiet, leafy neighborhood like Windsor Square can hit a family especially hard, because nobody expects that call. Jane Un Bail Bonds is a licensed California bail agent, open 24 hours at (213) 725-2815, and we treat every caller with respect.
Windsor Square sits just east of Hancock Park and south of Melrose, with Windsor Boulevard, Wilshire Boulevard and the Wilshire Country Club shaping the area. It is in ZIPs 90004 and 90020. This page explains how the bail process works for an arrest here, in plain language.
Take a breath. There is a clear process, and you do not have to figure it out alone.

The Wilshire station
Windsor Square falls in LAPD's Wilshire Area. The station is at 4861 W. Venice Blvd., Los Angeles, CA 90019, with a front desk number of 213-473-0476. Our Wilshire station page has what we know.
People who are arrested are often taken first to the station for processing and then to a jail. Station staff may not give much detail by phone, so it helps to also check the county locator at app5.lasd.org/iic or call 213-473-6100.
Where the person is probably being held
Wilshire Area arrests usually go to the Metropolitan Detention Center downtown, at 180 N. Los Angeles St. We say usually because LAPD can send arrestees to other facilities for medical clearance, and the choice is not published by area.
From Windsor Square, the drive is a straight shot east on Wilshire or Sixth Street, or via the 101 from Melrose. Ten to twenty minutes late at night. Our MDC page has visiting hours and what you can and cannot bring.
If you already have a lawyer
Families here sometimes already have an attorney on call. If a private attorney is retained, the premium we file drops from 10% to 8%. It also drops to 8% if the defendant or the co-signer is a veteran.
Tell us at the start so we use the right rate. We never recommend a particular attorney, and nothing here is legal advice. If you need one, the resources directory lists public defenders and legal aid.
Your lawyer can also tell you whether the court is likely to set bail and when the first hearing will be.
Money, plainly
Premium is 10% of bail, or 8% with an attorney or veteran status. 1% down on approved credit means the first payment is a small slice of the premium. The remainder goes on a monthly plan under Bail Today, Pay Later.
On a $100,000 bail, 1% is $1,000 down, and the full premium at 10% is $10,000. At 8% it would be $8,000. Use the calculator to see your number. Approval is required and 1% is not the price.
Larger bonds usually take more paperwork, so start early. The online application takes about 4 minutes.
The court and what comes next
Cases booked downtown are commonly heard at the Central Arraignment Courthouse on Bauchet Street, and felonies later at the Foltz Criminal Justice Center on Temple Street. Your paperwork lists the real court.
Once out, the person must come to every court date. If a date is missed, the bond can be forfeited. Our guide on what a co-signer takes on explains the stakes before you sign anything.
Questions families here ask at midnight
How soon can I speak to someone? Right now, at (213) 725-2815. Is there a fee for asking? No. Will anyone judge us? No. Many of the families we help are scared and embarrassed, and we have heard it all.
Is it safe to share information by phone? Yes. We use what you tell us only to prepare the bond.
If someone is arrested away from home and you live far away, you can start remotely. A co-signer signs by phone and email, and money is arranged through the plan.
A short checklist before you call
Jot these down so the call is fast. The full name of the person and their date of birth. The jail, if you know it, or the station that made the arrest. The charge and the bail, if anyone told you. A co-signer who is an adult with proof of income.
You can also open the online application on your phone while you talk to us. It takes about 4 minutes, asks for no Social Security number online, and saves us both time.
If a spouse or parent is the co-signer, let them know ahead of time that they will be asked about their job and about being responsible if the person does not appear. Honest conversations now prevent hard surprises later, and a co-signer who understands the plan is far more likely to feel steady when payments come due each month.
If the person is a veteran or you have an attorney, say so first. It affects the premium rate.
Finally, keep your phone charged and nearby. We may need to confirm a detail, and jail updates can come late at night.
1% down is a down payment on approved credit, not the price of the bond. The premium is the rate on file with the California Department of Insurance, 10% of the bail amount, or 8% when a private attorney is retained or you or the defendant is a veteran. The balance goes on a payment plan.
Questions people ask
Which LAPD area is Windsor Square in?
Wilshire Area. The station is on West Venice Boulevard.
Can a bail bond be posted at any hour?
LAPD says bail can be posted at its jails 24 hours a day. Whether a bond can be posted depends on booking being complete and bail being set.
What if I need to put the bond in someone else's name?
The co-signer signs the paperwork and promises that the person will appear and that payment will be made. Talk to us about who is the right fit.
Do you charge anything to talk it through?
No. Calling is free and there is no obligation.
What if my family member is a veteran?
Tell us. A veteran defendant or co-signer can qualify for the 8% premium.
