Your loved one walks out the front door. We'll make sure you know the court date and requirements to avoid any issues.
After we post the bond, DeKalb County Jail typically releases defendants within 2-8 hours.
Alabama law requires "prompt release" once bail is posted properly. While 2-8 hours is typical at DeKalb County, it can occasionally be faster or slower based on circumstances beyond our control.
Most common option. You pay a licensed bail bondsman 10% of the total bail amount as a premium (plus state fees), and the bondsman posts the full bond with the court.
Example: If bail is $10,000, you pay approximately $1,385 (10% + fees) to Connie's Bail Bonds, your trusted DeKalb County bonding company, and we post the full $10,000 bond.
Pay the full bail amount directly to the court in cash or money order. This is refunded when the case concludes (minus any court fees), assuming all court appearances are made.
Note: Most people don't have thousands in cash available, making surety bonds the practical choice.
Real estate equity can be pledged as collateral directly to the court. This requires a complex legal process, title verification, and can take several days—generally not practical for immediate release.
After release, the defendant must appear at the DeKalb County Courthouse for all scheduled court dates.
Missing a court date will result in bond forfeiture, a warrant for arrest, and additional charges. Mark all court dates on your calendar immediately.
