If you just got the call that a loved one is being held at the Leelanau County Jail in Suttons Bay, your mind is probably spinning with worry. Let us steady things for you. We are Bail My Tail, a family-owned Michigan agency Gene Butler founded in 1982 and now runs with his son Justin, and helping Leelanau County families on their hardest nights is what we do best. The jail at 8525 E. Government Center Dr. in Suttons Bay is open 24 hours, and so are we, so the time of your call never matters. Instead of trying to sort out court business hours, after-hours kiosks, or which payment is accepted, simply call us and let a real person explain everything in plain words. We post a state-regulated Michigan surety bond, which means you pay only a 10% premium of the bond the court set rather than the full cash sum. That is often the difference between bringing your person home tonight and waiting in agony. After the bond is posted at the Leelanau County Jail, release typically takes about two to eight hours, depending on how busy they are. We will stay with you and keep you updated until your loved one is out. Do not face this night alone. Call us right now at 877-869-8245 toll-free, any hour, any day, and let our family help yours.
