Bail Bonds in Michigan
How much does a bail bond cost in Michigan?
In many cases, the bail bond premium is typically 10% of the bail amount set by the court. Some situations require full cash bail or have restrictions based on the case.
What’s the difference between cash bail and a surety bond?
Cash bail generally means paying the full amount set by the court (or as directed). A surety bond (bail bond) is a separate release option where a bail bond agency may post a bond when allowed by the court.
Do you provide bail bonds 24/7?
Yes. Andrew’s Quick Bail is available 24/7/365 once bail is set, including nights, weekends, and holidays.
