Serving Families Across Nevada County

Frank Calabretta's Bail House Bail Bonds has been serving Nevada County families for over 50 years. If someone you love has been arrested anywhere in the county, we can help. We have two offices — one in Nevada City and one in Truckee — that together cover every corner of Nevada County.

The person who answers your call is local. Not a call center. Not a national franchise. Just a real person who lives in this area, knows the local jails and courts, and has helped hundreds of Nevada County families through exactly this kind of moment.
