Monroe County Bail Bonds

If your family just got the call from the Monroe County Main Jail on East Second Street, I'm sorry - I know how that news knocks the wind out of you. Let me help carry it. My dad, Gene Butler, started Bail My Tail in 1982, and I'm his son Justin; together we've spent decades getting people in Monroe County home to their families. After booking, the accused is arraigned in the 1st District Court on East First Street, which has jurisdiction over misdemeanors and the early stages of felony cases. At arraignment the judge or magistrate advises the defendant of the charges and sets bond. Under Michigan's court rule, a judge may grant release on personal recognizance, an unsecured appearance bond, or a secured bond requiring cash, a 10% deposit, or surety posted by a licensed bail agent like us. Misdemeanors are usually resolved entirely in the District Court; for felonies, a probable-cause conference and preliminary examination follow, and if probable cause is found the case is bound over to the 38th Circuit Court of Monroe County. We'll walk you through every step in plain language. Our premium is the state-regulated 10% - the same rate across Michigan - and we answer 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Call Bail My Tail now: statewide at 877-869-8245 or in Detroit at 313-345-9255.
