Here's what to have ready

  • The person's full name, including a middle name if they have one
  • Their date of birth
  • The jail or county where they're being held
  • The bond amount, if it's been set
  • The charge, if you know it

It's fine if you don't have all of this yet. We can help you find the rest.

Send Us the Details

This takes about a minute. It goes straight to a licensed bail bondsman in our office, not to a call center.

We don't need a Social Security number, a driver's license number, or any payment information to get started. A bondsman will go over the rest with you on the phone. What you send here goes to our office and nowhere else.

What Happens Now?

We review your form and call you back.

A bondsman from our office calls the number you gave us. We'll confirm where the person is being held and what the court has set.

We go over the cost and the paperwork.

We'll walk you through what's required, what you'd be signing, and what the down payment looks like for your situation. You can ask anything. Nothing is committed until you say so.

We post the bond and handle the rest.

Once the paperwork is done, one of our agents goes to the jail and posts the bond. We'll tell you what to expect from there.

A Few Things to Know

You don't need to know everything about bail before you get started. These are the things most families want to understand first.

What does a bail bond cost?

Our bonds start as low as 3% down, depending on the situation. Payment plans may be available.

What you'd actually pay depends on the bond amount the court set, the charge, and the details of the agreement. That's why we don't quote a number over a form.

A bondsman will go through the numbers with you before you sign anything so you understand what you're agreeing to.

A bondsman can't change the bond amount. That number comes from the court.

If you're the cosigner

A cosigner is the person who signs the bail bond agreement and takes responsibility for the defendant meeting the terms of the bond. On paperwork, you may also see this person called the indemnitor.

  • You're agreeing that the defendant will make their required court dates.
  • You may be asked for collateral depending on the situation.
  • You need to keep us updated if their address or phone number changes.
  • If they miss court, the terms of the agreement become important.

Take your time with this part. It's a real commitment, and you should understand the agreement before you sign it.

What we can and can't do

We want to be straight with you about where our part starts and stops.

  • We can't change the bond amount or release conditions. The court or magistrate sets those.
  • We can't promise an exact release time. Once the bond is posted, the detention center handles the release. How long that takes varies by county and how busy the facility is.
  • We can't give legal advice. We're bail bondsmen, not attorneys. If you have questions about the charge itself or how to fight the case, you'll want to speak with a licensed criminal defense attorney.
  • We can help you understand the bail process. We'll explain what happens next, keep you informed, and help you move through the process without judgment.

An arrest is not a conviction.

What does a bail bond cost?

Big Mike's bonds start as low as 3% down depending on the situation, and payment plans may be available. What you actually pay depends on the bond amount, the circumstances, and the agreement.

A bondsman will explain the numbers before you sign anything.

What does it mean to cosign a bail bond?

The cosigner, sometimes called the indemnitor, signs the bond agreement and accepts certain responsibilities connected to the defendant's release and required court appearances.

It's important to understand those responsibilities before signing.

Learn more about cosigning
Do I have to put up my car or house?

Not always. Collateral is something of value used to back the bond agreement. Whether collateral is needed depends on the bond amount, circumstances, and the agreement.

If collateral is required, a bondsman will explain what is needed before you sign anything.

Can I start a bail bond from out of state?

Often, yes. A lot of the process can be handled remotely. Whether someone needs to be physically present depends on the bond and the county.

Call us and we'll tell you what your specific situation requires.

I don't know which jail they're in. What should I do?

That's okay. Start with the county where they were most likely arrested. If you're still not sure, call us and we can help you figure out where to look.

How long does it take to get someone released?

There isn't one set release time. Once the paperwork is completed and the bond is posted, the detention center controls the release process.

Timing varies by county, facility, and how busy the detention center is. We'll tell you what we're seeing and keep you updated, but we can't promise an exact release time.

Freedom shouldn't wait, and it shouldn't break the bank.

Call or text us any hour. Have their full name, date of birth, and jail location ready if you can.
