What Are
Elder Abuse Bail Bonds?
An elder abuse bail bond works the same 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).
Alabama's Protecting Alabama's Elders Act (Ala. Code § 13A-6-190 et seq.) covers a wide range of conduct — from physical abuse and neglect to financial exploitation. The charge degree depends on the severity of harm and the intent involved.
Elder abuse charges are prosecuted aggressively in Alabama. Even a third-degree charge (reckless abuse causing injury) is a Class A Misdemeanor. First-degree elder abuse causing serious physical injury is a Class A Felony — the same level as murder or robbery.
Financial exploitation of an elderly person is also covered under the Act — and carries felony charges based on the dollar amount involved, according to the National Center on Elder Abuse (NCEA).
Alabama Elder Abuse Statute
The Protecting Alabama's Elders Act (Ala. Code § 13A-6-190 et seq.) classifies elder abuse by the severity of harm and intent, and classifies financial exploitation by the dollar amount involved. Here's a plain-English breakdown of each degree.
Ala. Code §§ 13A-6-192 · 13A-6-193 · 13A-6-194 · 13A-6-195Elder Abuse 3rd Degree — Class A Misdemeanor
Recklessly abuses or neglects any elderly person causing physical injury, or recklessly emotionally abuses any elderly person, under Ala. Code § 13A-6-194. Fine up to $6,000; jail up to 1 year.
Elder Abuse 2nd Degree — Class B Felony
Intentionally abuses or neglects any elderly person causing physical injury, or recklessly abuses or neglects any elderly person causing serious physical injury, under Ala. Code § 13A-6-193. Fine up to $30,000; prison 2–20 years.
Elder Abuse 1st Degree — Class A Felony
Intentionally abuses or neglects any elderly person causing serious physical injury under Ala. Code § 13A-6-192. Fine up to $60,000; prison 10 years to life.
Financial Exploitation — §§ 13A-6-195 to 197
Classified by dollar amount: under $500 is a Class A Misdemeanor (§ 13A-6-197); $500–$2,499 is a Class C Felony (§ 13A-6-196); $2,500 or more is a Class B Felony (§ 13A-6-195).

Who Is An "Elderly Person" Under Alabama Law?
Under Ala. Code § 13A-6-191, an elderly person is defined as a person who is 60 years of age or older. Elder Abuse 1st Degree is NOT listed under Aniah's Law — bail is available in virtually all elder abuse cases.

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).
Caregiver Liability
Elder abuse charges frequently arise from family members, professional caregivers, nursing home staff, or financial advisors. Anyone in a position of trust over an elderly person can face these charges — including family members acting as power of attorney.
Mandatory Reporting In Alabama
Alabama law requires certain professionals (healthcare workers, law enforcement, social workers) to report suspected elder abuse. Failure to report is itself a criminal offense.

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 $100,000 bail, your cost is $10,000. 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.

- Class A Misdemeanor

- Class A Felony (1st Degree) — bail $25,000–$100,000
- Financial exploitation bail based on dollar amount
- Collateral may be required on higher-degree bonds

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.
Note: Elder abuse charges are not listed under Aniah's Law. Bail is available in virtually all elder abuse cases.
