Finding out a loved one is locked up in the Oakland County Jail can turn an ordinary day upside down. We're Bail My Tail, the Butler family's bail agency. Gene started it in 1982 and runs it now with his son Justin, and helping worried families through nights like this is the whole reason we do this work. The Oakland County Jail sits at 1200 N. Telegraph Rd, Bldg 38E, in Pontiac, and it's open 24 hours a day. Once the judge sets a bond at arraignment, give us a call. We confirm the amount, collect the state-regulated 10% premium, and post the surety bond for you. We take cash, all major credit cards, debit, bank transfer, and payment plans for clients who qualify, so you can act fast even if money's tight. At this facility, most people are released within 2 to 8 hours of the bond being posted. We fill out the forms, keep you updated, and don't leave your side until your family member walks out. We answer every call ourselves, any hour of the day or night. Call our 24/7 toll-free line at 877-869-8245, or reach our Detroit office at 313-345-9255, and we'll start working to bring your loved one home from Pontiac.
