Dearborn Bail Bonds

I'm Justin Butler. My dad Gene founded Bail My Tail in 1982, and we still answer the phone ourselves, because a Dearborn arrest doesn't wait for business hours. When someone is arrested here, the local police handle the initial booking, and most misdemeanor and city ordinance arraignments take place at the 19th District Court in Dearborn, where a judge or magistrate sets bond. Michigan courts can set a personal recognizance bond with no money down, a cash or 10% bond, or a full cash or surety bond posted through a licensed bondsman. If the charge is a felony, the case still starts in the 19th District Court for arraignment and a preliminary examination, then is bound over to the Wayne County 3rd Circuit Court at the Frank Murphy Hall of Justice in Detroit, the county seat. Anyone who can't post bond is usually held at the Wayne County Jail in downtown Detroit while things move forward. Because Dearborn sits inside Wayne County, that county jail and circuit court are where unreleased defendants end up, and where we know how to work. A surety bond from us lets your loved one come home for a percentage of the total, with our premium set by the state at 10%. We're available 24/7. Call Bail My Tail at 313-345-9255.
