If you've just found out that someone you love is in the Van Buren County Jail in Paw Paw, the worry can feel like too much to carry. You don't have to carry it by yourself. We're Bail My Tail, family-owned since 1982 by Gene Butler and his son Justin, and we've spent over forty years helping Michigan families through exactly this. The Van Buren County Sheriff's Office jail at 205 S Kalamazoo Street in Paw Paw takes in bookings around the clock, and after a bond is posted, most people are released within roughly two to eight hours, depending on how busy the jail is. The relief is, you don't need the full bail amount. We post surety bonds statewide across Michigan, and our premium is fixed by state regulation at 10 percent, straightforward and explained before you commit to anything. When you call, we'll go over the charge and the bond in plain terms and tell you what we need to begin. Our line is answered 24 hours a day, every day of the year, because an arrest in Paw Paw can happen at any hour. And if a payment plan would help your household, just say the word. Call our toll-free line at 877-869-8245, or our Detroit office at 313-345-9255, and we'll help bring your loved one home.
