Livingston County Bail Bonds

There's a particular kind of helplessness that hits when someone you love is booked into the Livingston County Jail on South Highlander Way in Howell. I know it well - families have been calling my family about exactly this since 1982, when my father Gene Butler opened Bail My Tail. I'm Justin, his son, and I still pick up the phone myself. In Livingston County, after the Sheriff's Office finishes booking, the defendant is arraigned in the 53rd District Court, which sets bond for both misdemeanor and felony charges. A judge or magistrate reads the charges and sets the conditions of release - that might be a personal recognizance bond with no money down, a full cash bond, a 10 percent bond deposited with the court, or a surety bond posted through a licensed agent. Misdemeanors generally stay in the 53rd; felonies go to a preliminary examination, and if probable cause is found the case is bound over to the 44th Circuit Court in Howell.
