Bail and Bondsman

If a person is arrested for an illegal offense in Menominee County, he can pay the bail amount set by the court in order to get released from custody while his trial is still pending. Bail is used as a guarantee that the defendant will return for the trial once it starts. Bail is forfeited if the defendant does not show up as promised.

If the bail is set too high for the defendant to pay on his own, he can hire a bondsman to act as surety. A bondsman charges 10% of the bail amount for his services. Take note that, unlike bail, the bondsman’s fee cannot be refunded.
