Berrien County Trial Court (2nd Circuit)

When someone you love is arrested and headed to the Berrien County Trial Court, the fear hits fast, and you don't always know who to call first. We're Bail My Tail, a family bail-bond agency that Gene Butler started back in 1982 and still runs to this day with his son Justin. We've spent four decades walking Michigan families through exactly this moment, and we'll do the same for you here in Berrien County. The 2nd Circuit handles felony criminal cases for the county and sits at 811 Port Street in St. Joseph, the county seat; the court's own line is 269-983-7111. Once a felony is bound over to that court, a judge can set or revisit bond, and depending on the charge that may be a cash bond, a personal-recognizance release, or a 10% surety bond. That last one is where we come in. On a Michigan surety bond you pay a state-regulated 10% premium instead of the full bail amount, so your family can get your loved one home without draining every savings account. We post bonds statewide, day or night, and a real person always answers. Call our Flint office at 810-234-5776, our Detroit office at 313-345-9255, or our 24/7 toll-free line at 877-869-8245, and let's get to work.
