About Baldwin County
District Court
Baldwin County District Court sits at 312 Courthouse Square, Bay Minette, AL 36507 — the same courthouse as Circuit Court. District Court hears misdemeanor and traffic cases and holds preliminary hearings in felony cases before they move to Circuit Court.
Most misdemeanor bail is not set by a judge at all — it is set automatically by the Baldwin County bail schedule as soon as booking is complete. That is why misdemeanor releases in Baldwin County are frequently same-day, sometimes within a few hours.
The bond is posted at Baldwin County Corrections Center, 200 Hand Avenue, Bay Minette, AL 36507 — open 24 hours a day. M&J delivers the bond in person, at any hour, so families never have to drive to Bay Minette in the middle of the night.
Dockets and case records are published at baldwin.alacourt.gov and alacourt.gov.

What Does A Bail Bond Cost For A Baldwin County Misdemeanor?

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.

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.
