Dependable Misdemeanor Bail Bonds in Southern & Central Ohio

Every Ohio court keeps a misdemeanor bail schedule, which sets an amount that can be posted before the first court appearance. A judge can set a different amount at a hearing. Misdemeanor OVI charges, meaning impaired driving, and traffic charges are covered by those schedules too.

No. An officer or court may issue a summons to appear instead of making an arrest, and the person may be asked to plead guilty or not guilty at the first court date. If a person is held on a set amount, a bond is one route. How bail bonds work lists the others.

The statute sets limits of 90 days for first- and second-degree misdemeanors and 45 days for third- and fourth-degree, counted from arrest or summons. Each day held in jail on the charge counts as three. Ask the court or a lawyer about a specific case.

The fee is 10% of the bond amount, along with court fees. Misdemeanor bond fees of 10% are not returned. The amount usually comes from the court's schedule, and those schedules differ from court to court. Qualified customers can ask about payment plans. Ask for a misdemeanor bond quote
