What Are
Assault & Battery Bail Bonds?
An assault and battery bail bond works the same way as any bail bond. M&J Bail Bonds pays the full bail amount set by the court, and you pay the 10% state-regulated premium (Ala. Code § 12-19-311).
Assault charges in Alabama vary significantly in severity. A 3rd Degree assault (simple assault) is a Class A Misdemeanor with bail typically under $5,000. A 1st Degree assault — involving serious bodily injury or a deadly weapon — is a Class B Felony with bail that can reach $100,000.
The victim's status also matters. Assault on a law enforcement officer, emergency responder, or school employee elevates the charge regardless of injury level.
Alabama Criminal Justice Information Center (ACJIC)
Alabama's official criminal justice data body, the ACJIC, tracks statewide crime and arrest data used to evaluate assault charge trends across Alabama.
Alabama Assault & Battery Statute

Intentionally, knowingly, or recklessly causing physical injury to another person. A Class A Misdemeanor and the most common assault charge in Alabama — it covers simple fights and minor altercations.
Assault 2nd Degree: Ala. Code § 13A-6-21
Causing serious physical injury recklessly, causing physical injury with a deadly weapon, or intentionally causing physical injury to a person under 12. A Class C Felony that also applies to assault on a peace officer with a weapon.
Assault 1st Degree: Ala. Code § 13A-6-20
Intentionally causing serious physical injury with a deadly weapon, or causing serious physical injury under circumstances manifesting extreme indifference to human life. A Class B Felony and the most serious non-homicide assault charge in Alabama.
Menacing: Ala. Code § 13A-6-23

Assault On Law Enforcement
Assault on a police officer, corrections officer, or emergency responder elevates the charge one degree. A 3rd Degree assault becomes 2nd Degree; a 2nd Degree becomes 1st Degree. This significantly increases both the penalty and the bail amount.
Domestic Assault
When assault occurs between domestic partners or household members, it is charged as Domestic Violence under §§ 13A-6-130 through 132 rather than standard assault — and carries a mandatory 12-hour hold.

How Much Is Bail For Assault & Battery In Alabama?

How The Math Works
Alabama law (Ala. Code § 12-19-311) sets the bail bond premium at exactly 10% of the total bail amount. That is the non-refundable fee paid to M&J Bail Bonds to post your bond. On a $10,000 bail, your cost is $1,000. On a $50,000 bail, your cost is $5,000. Alabama also adds state administrative fees on top — our agents will walk you through the exact total before anything is signed.

Payment Plans
For Real Families
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.
Payment Plans
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.
Collateral Options
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.
Multiple Payment Methods
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.
