About Baldwin County
Circuit Court
Baldwin County Circuit Court sits at 312 Courthouse Square, Bay Minette, AL 36507, with the Clerk's office in Suite 10. Judge Taylor's office can be reached at (251) 580-2570. Bail is set by the court, not by the jail. The Corrections Center cannot raise, lower, or waive a bail amount, and it cannot release anyone until a bond is posted.
Baldwin County is the only county in the 28th Judicial Circuit, so every felony case arising anywhere in the county — Gulf Shores, Foley, Daphne, Bay Minette, or unincorporated north Baldwin — is heard here.
The bond itself is posted at Baldwin County Corrections Center, 200 Hand Avenue, Bay Minette, AL 36507 — open 24 hours a day. You never have to travel there. M&J Bail Bonds delivers the bond in person at any hour.
Court information is published by the circuit at baldwin.alacourt.gov, with statewide case and court-date lookups at alacourt.gov.

What Does A Bail Bond Cost For A Baldwin County Felony?
Alabama law (Ala. Code § 12-19-311) fixes the bail bond premium at exactly 10% of the bail amount set by the court. The same rate applies everywhere in Baldwin County. M&J charges exactly that, and state fees are disclosed upfront.

Felony Bonds & Payment Plans
Felony bail in the 28th Circuit often runs into five and six figures, so payment plans matter. M&J offers installments, co-signer arrangements, and collateral including real property and vehicle titles — see /alabama/payment-plan-bail-bonds/. Federal cases carry a 15% premium.

Premium rate verified by FindLaw →

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.

Felony bail is a judicial decision. Once the amount is set, M&J Bail Bonds posts the bond at Baldwin County Corrections Center — open 24 hours a day, every day of the year.
Felony Bail At Arraignment

Who Usually Qualifies
Most standard DUI defendants qualify for bail once booking is complete and bail has been set, especially when there is no serious injury allegation, no active hold, and a responsible cosigner is available.
Who Doesn't Qualify Automatically
Bail can be delayed, increased, or denied when there is a judge's hold, an active warrant, a prior failure to appear, a serious-injury allegation, or no approved cosigner or collateral for a high-risk bond. Call us and we will tell you what is actually on the booking record.
