Do you have a family member who finds him or herself in custody of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) (formerly the Immigration & Naturalization Service [INS]) or in jail or prison with a detainer? Are you banging your head against the wall trying to find someone who is willing to help and knows what they are talking about?

Take a deep breath and relax – you have come to the right place. The hard-working, detail-oriented staff of experts at Gonzales & Gonzales Immigration Bonds (G & G) is here to help you with all your bonding needs. Just call them toll-free at 1-800-628-8888 – someone is standing by to personally take your call.

First, let us tell you a little about who we are. G&G was founded in 1950 in Southern California. Though the company has grown by leaps and bounds since those humble beginnings more than half a century ago, expanding into a company that now boasts a truly national footprint, this leader in the industry and family-owned business remains true to the principles on which it was founded.

At this point, many of you reading this may still be confused about the difference between bail bonds and immigration bonds. Immigration bonds, as offered by G&G, concern civil administrative matters, whereas bail bonds concern criminal cases, where someone can be sent to prison. The judge in immigration matters can allow someone to remain legally in the United States or order them removed (deported) to some other country.

If after reading this brief introduction to G&G and what we do, you are still unsure about what’s next for you or your affected family member, select “Immigration Bonds” for more information. From there, the website will guide you through a better understanding of how you will be able to help your family member.

However, is important to keep in mind that the process outlined on this site is intended to be a general guide. Each case has different elements in it and each DHS/INS office handles matters of this nature slightly differently.

Gonzales & Gonzales Bonds and Insurance Agency, Inc. (G&G) has agents and local telephone numbers in the major cities. Consult the Yellow Pages or the local telephone information for our local telephone number.

The process is designed to be a general guide. Because each case is different, each DHS office handles matters slightly differently.

Immigration bonds are not like criminal bail bonds. For example bail bonds may be posted 24 hours a day and bonds are usually set the moment someone is arrested.
