Hearing that a family member is in the Hillsdale County Jail can turn an ordinary day upside down. Whatever hour it is, we are ready to help you through it. Bail My Tail is a family agency that Gene Butler and his son Justin have run since 1982, and we answer every call ourselves, calmly and without judgment. The Hillsdale County Jail is located at 165 W. Fayette Street, Hillsdale, MI 49242, and it is open 24 hours a day, which is why we stay reachable around the clock. For a Hillsdale County arrest, we post a state-regulated surety bond at Michigan's 10% premium, so you pay only ten percent of the bail and we pledge the rest to the court on your behalf. We will collect the booking information, explain exactly what is needed, and post the bond ourselves so you are not left guessing about forms, fees, or hours. After the bond is posted, most people are released within two to eight hours, depending on how busy the jail is. If you want to confirm the bond amount or details first, you can call the jail directly at 517-437-7317. When you are ready to bring your loved one home, call Bail My Tail any time at 877-869-8245, our Flint office at 810-234-5776, or our Detroit office at 313-345-9255.
