How long until release from Madison County Jail?
Once we post the bond, release depends on how busy booking is. Most releases happen within a few hours. Our agent stays in contact with the jail and keeps you updated.
How much does a bail bond cost?
You pay a premium, typically 10% of the total bond, which is our fee and is not refunded. For example, a $5,000 bond is usually $500. We offer payment plans and don't require collateral in most cases.
Do I have to come to Driggs?
No. Documents are signed electronically from anywhere, payment is handled online or by phone, and our local agent posts the bond at the detention center for you. Out-of-state family members use this every day.
What if bail is set as "cash only"?
Cash-only bail has to be paid in full to the jail or court, so a surety bond can't be used. Call us anyway. We can explain the options, including asking the court to modify the bond at the next hearing.
Which court handles the case?
Misdemeanors and initial appearances are usually in Teton County Magistrate Court (or city court for municipal cases). Felonies go to Teton County District Court (7th Judicial District). Both are listed above with addresses and phone numbers.
What happens if they miss court?
Call us immediately. Often we can help get the person back in front of the judge before a warrant is issued. Missing court can forfeit the bond, so stay in touch with your agent about every date.
