Grand Rapids Bail Bonds

When someone you love is arrested in Grand Rapids, the size of the city can make the whole thing feel cold and impersonal. That's not how we do it. I'm Justin Butler, and my dad Gene and I have run Bail My Tail as a family since 1982 — even in one of Michigan's biggest cities, you'll always talk to a real Butler who treats your loved one like family. Here's how it works in Kent County. After a Grand Rapids Police Department arrest, your person is taken to the Kent County Correctional Facility on Ball Avenue NE, the county's central booking jail run by the Sheriff. Arraignment happens at the 61st District Court in the Hall of Justice on Ottawa Avenue NW, where a judge or magistrate sets bond. The district court handles misdemeanors and the first steps on felonies; felony cases are then bound over to the 17th Circuit Court for Kent County, in that same building, for trial. A judge may grant a personal recognizance bond with no money down, a 10% bond, a full cash bond, or a surety bond through a licensed agent like us. Our premium is the state-regulated 10% of the bond amount — no markup, no surprises — and we're available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Call Bail My Tail now: Flint 810-234-5776, Detroit 313-345-9255, or toll-free 877-869-8245. Let's bring your family home.
