Call (833) MNJ-BAIL Now Start ApplicationAlabama Bail Bonds
Alabama is a state of 5 million people spanning 67 counties — from the Gulf Coast port city of Mobile in the south to the Tennessee River Valley in the north. Arrests happen across every county, every day, and bail bond needs arise around the clock.
M&J Bail Bonds is headquartered in Mobile at 11 North Water Street, Floor 10 — the county seat of Mobile County. We are licensed to post bail in Alabama, Ohio, Texas, and Florida. In Alabama, we cover all 67 counties — with particular depth in Mobile County and the surrounding Southwest Alabama region.
Alabama sets the bail bond premium at exactly 10% of the bail amount under Ala. Code § 12-19-311 — Alabama's bail bond premium law. Every licensed bondsman in Alabama charges this rate. M&J charges exactly that — nothing more, nothing padded, no surprise fees after the paperwork is signed. The full code is published by the Alabama Legislature — alison.legislature.state.al.us.
When someone you love is arrested anywhere in Alabama — call us. A real licensed agent answers every call, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. We locate the booking record, explain the exact cost, and get your loved one home as fast as possible.

Call (833) MNJ-BAIL or (251) 421-1834. Give us the name, date of birth, and county of arrest — we locate the booking record and have the bond ready the moment bail is set.
Alabama law fixes the bail bond premium at exactly 10% of the total bail amount set by the court. This rate is non-negotiable — no licensed bondsman can legally charge more or less. On a $10,000 bail, your cost is $1,000. On a $50,000 bail, your cost is $5,000.
Official SourcesAla. Code § 12-19-311 — The 10% Rule
Alabama fixes the surety bail bond premium at exactly 10% of the bail amount set by the court. The rate is the same in all 67 counties for every charge. Alabama's bail premium is regulated by the Alabama Department of Insurance, and every surety bail bond agent operating in the state must hold an active state license. M&J Bail Bonds is licensed in Alabama and charges exactly the rate the law requires.
The Premium Is Non-Refundable
The 10% premium is earned the moment the bond is posted — regardless of what happens with the case. Even if charges are dropped or the defendant is found not guilty, the premium is not refunded. This is Alabama state law, not M&J policy.
Alabama State Fees
In addition to the 10% premium, Alabama adds state administrative fees on top. These are state-mandated — not M&J fees. Our agents disclose the exact total, premium plus every state fee, before you sign anything.
How Bail Is Set In Alabama
Misdemeanor bail is set by the county bail schedule with no judge required — often within hours of booking. Felony bail is set by a judge at arraignment, typically within 72 hours. Charges listed under Aniah's Law may have bail denied entirely at an Aniah Hearing.

Start Bail Application⚠️ Aniah's Law — Critical Information
The following charges are listed under Aniah's Law. A judge CAN deny bail on these charges at an Aniah Hearing.
What Is Aniah's Law?
Alabama's Aniah's Law (Ala. Const. Art. 1 § 16, amended 2022) allows judges to deny bail entirely for specific serious charges. Before 2022, Alabama guaranteed bail for virtually all offenses. That changed with this constitutional amendment — named after Aniah Blanchard, a 19-year-old whose alleged killer had been released on bond for a prior violent charge.
At an “Aniah Hearing,” the judge considers the weight of the evidence against the defendant, the defendant's prior criminal history, risk of flight, and danger to the community. Bail can be granted or denied — it is not automatic either way.
Call M&J Bail Bonds immediately — we check the booking record and Aniah Hearing status in real time. The full constitutional text is published by the Alabama Legislature — Ala. Const. Art. 1 § 16.
All other charges — including all misdemeanors, Class B/C/D felonies, and Class A felonies NOT on this list — are bailable in virtually all cases. Call M&J and we tell you immediately whether Aniah's Law applies to the specific charge on the booking record.
Alabama Court System
Alabama's criminal cases move through District Court, Circuit Court, and — for federal charges — the U.S. District Court. Bail is set differently in each.
Alabama District Court
MisdemeanorsAlabama Circuit Court
FeloniesU.S. District Court — Southern District of Alabama
FederalLicense Suspensions & State Fees
License suspensions are administered by the Alabama State Law Enforcement Agency (ALEA) — view official license suspension information →. First and second offenses also carry a $100 Impaired Drivers Trust Fund fee (§ 32-5A-191.2).
Court Dates & Case Records
Alabama court dates and case records are published statewide at alacourt.gov, maintained by the Alabama Administrative Office of Courts. Federal cases are docketed at alsd.uscourts.gov.
Missing a court date in Alabama means a bench warrant and bond forfeiture. M&J tracks court dates for every client we bond — see /alabama/failure-to-appear-bail-bonds/.

Start Bail ApplicationWhat To Expect

Federal Bonds: 15%
Federal bonds in Alabama carry a 15% premium — not 10%. Federal bail is set by a U.S. Magistrate under a different process, and collateral is almost always required. See /alabama/federal-bail-bonds/.

Alabama adds state administrative fees on top of the 10% premium under Ala. Code § 12-19-311. M&J Bail Bonds discloses the exact total — premium plus all state fees — before you sign anything. Ranges are illustrative only and are not a quote or promise of bail.

Start Bail ApplicationFlexible Payment Options
Most families don't have the full 10% premium sitting in a checking account — and that is completely normal. M&J Bail Bonds offers flexible payment arrangements tailored to your financial situation so cost is never the reason your loved one stays in jail longer than necessary.
We work with you on a payment schedule for the premium. Ask our agents about monthly payment arrangements when you call. No two situations are the same — we will find something that works for your family.
Depending on the bond amount, collateral may or may not be required. Many DUI bonds — especially first and second offenses — do not require collateral at all. Ask us about your specific situation.
We accept Visa, Mastercard, Amex, ACH / bank transfer, Zelle, and cash. Ask about which methods work best for your payment plan arrangement.
Important
The 10% premium is non-refundable under Alabama law — it is earned the moment the bond is posted, regardless of how the case resolves, even if charges are dropped. This is not M&J policy — it is Alabama state law (Ala. Code § 12-19-311). Our agents will explain this fully before you sign anything.

Most people arrested in Alabama are bailable. The state constitution guarantees bail in most cases — but Aniah's Law created an exception for certain serious offenses, and federal charges follow a separate process.
County bail schedule applies — no judge required. Bail is set within hours of booking and release is often same-day.
