Daphne, Alabama
Daphne is Baldwin County's largest city, located on the Eastern Shore of Mobile Bay — directly across the bay from Mobile. The city is part of the Daphne-Fairhope-Foley metropolitan area and has grown rapidly as a bedroom community for Mobile professionals seeking suburban living.
US Highway 98 is the main corridor through Daphne, connecting the Eastern Shore communities. The D'Olive Creek area, Whispering Pines, and other neighborhoods generate the most residential arrest activity. Commercial areas along US-98 see DUI and theft arrests regularly.
Daphne maintains one of the largest municipal corrections facilities in Alabama — capable of housing both its own arrestees and defendants from Spanish Fort, the Baldwin County Sheriff, Alabama State Troopers, and U.S. Marshals. This facility holds misdemeanor defendants; felony defendants are transferred to Baldwin County Corrections Center in Bay Minette within 24 hours. See the Daphne Police Department — daphneal.com for department information.

License 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
Baldwin County court information is published through the 28th Judicial Circuit at baldwin.alacourt.gov, with statewide case and court-date lookups at alacourt.gov. Federal cases are docketed at alsd.uscourts.gov.
Missing a court date in the 28th Circuit means a bench warrant and bond forfeiture. Call us before a date is missed — it is far easier to fix in advance.
Payment Plans For Baldwin County Families
The 10% premium is fixed by Alabama law, but M&J works with families on monthly installments, co-signer arrangements, and collateral including real property and vehicle titles.
Accepted: Visa, Mastercard, Amex, ACH, Zelle, and cash. The whole process can run remotely — phone, e-sign, pay online. See /alabama/payment-plan-bail-bonds/, /alabama/no-collateral-bail-bonds/, and /alabama/online-bail-bonds/.

What Does A Bail Bond Cost In Daphne, Alabama?
Alabama law (Ala. Code § 12-19-311) fixes the bail bond premium at exactly 10% of the bail amount — the same rate across all of Baldwin County. M&J charges exactly that. State fees are disclosed upfront.

Read the statute: Ala. Code § 12-19-311

Premium rate verified by FindLaw →
Alabama state administrative fees are added on top of the 10% premium under Ala. Code § 12-19-311 (verified by FindLaw at codes.findlaw.com). M&J discloses the exact total before you sign anything. Ranges are illustrative only and are not a quote or promise of bail.

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 Qualifies For Bail In Daphne?
Most people arrested in Baldwin County are bailable. Alabama's constitution guarantees bail in most cases — but Aniah's Law created an exception for certain serious offenses, and federal charges follow a separate process.
Misdemeanor Charges — Almost Always Bailable
The Baldwin County bail schedule applies, so no judge is required. Bail is available within hours of booking and release is often same-day.
- County schedule — no court appearance needed
- Bond can be posted 24 hours a day
- See /alabama/misdemeanor-bail-bonds/
Authority
Baldwin County bail schedule
Felony Charges — Usually Bailable
A 28th Circuit judge sets bail at arraignment in Bay Minette. All four classes — D through A — are typically bondable unless Aniah's Law applies.
- Bail set by a 28th Circuit judge
- Preliminary hearing in District Court confirms probable cause
- See /alabama/felony-bail-bonds/
Authority
28th Judicial Circuit — Baldwin County
Aniah's Law Charges — Bail May Be Denied
Murder, robbery 1st, kidnapping 1st, burglary 1st, drug trafficking, DV 1st, and arson 1st can all result in bail being denied at an Aniah Hearing.
- Judge decides after a hearing; denial is not automatic
- We check Aniah status in real time
- We post the moment a judge grants bail
Authority
Ala. Const. Art. I § 16, am. 2022 (Aniah's Law)
Federal Charges — Different Process

Who Usually Qualifies

Start Bail ApplicationStep By Step
From Arrest To Release
In Daphne, Alabama
The path is the same for every Daphne arrest — local processing, then bail, then release.
1
Step 1 — Arrest & Transport
A Daphne police officer, a Baldwin County Sheriff's deputy, or an Alabama state trooper transports the defendant to the Daphne Corrections Center, 1502 US Highway 98.
2
Step 2 — Booking
ID confirmation, health screening, property inventory, fingerprints, and photograph. The booking record must exist before a bond can be written — which is why calling early matters.
3
Step 3 — Bail Is Set
Misdemeanor bail follows the Baldwin County bail schedule with no court appearance. Felony bail is set by a 28th Circuit judge at arraignment in Bay Minette.
4
Step 4 — M&J Posts The Bond
Call (833) MNJ-BAIL with the full name, date of birth, and city of arrest. We locate the record — including the Baldwin County Sheriff's Office roster after transfer — and post the moment bail is set. Release processing typically takes 2–6 hours.
