You pay Michigan's 10% premium, and we answer 24/7. Call 877-869-8245 any time, day or night.

What is bail and how does it work?

Bail is a set amount of money that acts as insurance between the court and the person in custody. A bail bond allows the defendant to be released while guaranteeing they will appear at all future court dates. We post the bond on your behalf so your loved one can come home while awaiting trial.

How much does a bail bond cost?

In Michigan, the standard fee is 10% of the total bail amount. For example, if bail is set at $5,000, the bond fee is $500. This fee is non-refundable and is the cost of the bail bond service. We also offer flexible payment plans for qualifying clients.

What information do I need to post bail?

You'll need the defendant's full legal name, date of birth, the jail or facility where they are being held, the booking number (if available), and the charges. Our team will help you gather any missing information.

How quickly can someone be released?

Release times vary by facility but typically range from 2 to 6 hours after the bond is posted. Some facilities may take longer depending on processing volume. We work to expedite the process as much as possible.

What happens if someone misses a court date?

If a court date is missed, a bench warrant may be issued for the defendant's arrest, and the bail bond could be forfeited. Contact us immediately if a date is missed — we can often help resolve the situation and get a new court date set.

Do you offer payment plans?

Yes, we understand that bail can be an unexpected financial burden. We offer flexible payment plans to help families during difficult times. Contact us to discuss your specific situation and we'll work with you to find a solution.

What types of bonds do you handle?

We handle all types of bail bonds including felony bonds, misdemeanor bonds, traffic bonds, immigration bonds, and federal bonds. We also assist with cash-only bonds and property bonds when applicable.

Can I get a bail bond at night or on weekends?

Absolutely. We are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year — including all holidays. Arrests don't follow a schedule, and neither do we. Call us anytime.
