Please contact an attorney as soon as possible, an experienced attorney can work with the bail company. It is important to get a list of all the charges before he goes to court to do a bail bond hearing and maybe reduce the bail amount.

They may try to charge him as an accomplice of the crime, not sure need to hear the facts of the case more but that is what I think based on how you are describing it. You should contact and attorney to help you with the case and to answer any more of your questions.

You need to walk the case on, that means go to court at 8am stand in line to have them pull your case file and sent to a courtroom to see a judge. You can hire an attorney to go with you if you want or you can do this yourself.

Maybe file a small claims court (without an attoney) and get your day in court, not sure of the value of a case, since CA pay for dog (pets) as property, maybe that is why the previous attorney said it is not worth the cost of hiring an attorney.
Good Luck-
