We Go to the Jail for You

You do not have to be a criminal to get arrested. Your call, your name and your situation stay confidential.
What to do right now, in order
Most people call us in the worst hour of their life with no idea what happens next. Here is the sequence, plainly.
Find out where they are
Search the Cherokee County Sheriff’s inmate list to confirm the booking. If the arrest just happened, the record may not be posted yet. We can check for you.
Wait for the bond to be set
Nobody can post a bond until a judge sets one at first appearance. Cherokee Magistrate Court runs 24/7/365 and Georgia law requires that hearing within 48 or 72 hours of arrest.
Call a licensed bondsman
Have the full legal name, date of birth, the charge and the bond amount if you know it. If you do not have all of it, call anyway — we will find it.
Sign, and go get them
A co-signer signs with valid photo ID, in person at our Canton office or remotely by email or fax. We take the paperwork to the jail and start the release.
The jail, the courts, and who decides the bond
Everyone arrested anywhere in Cherokee County — by the Sheriff’s Office, Canton PD, Woodstock PD, Holly Springs PD, Ball Ground PD or the Georgia State Patrol — is booked into the same building: the Adult Detention Center at 498 Chattin Drive in Canton. That is where we go.

Bail bonds for any charge in Cherokee County
From a first-offense DUI on Riverstone Parkway to a Superior Court felony, we write the bond and we explain what happens next.
Felony Bail Bonds
Felonies are Superior Court cases in Cherokee County, and the most serious ones can only be bonded by a Superior Court judge. We know the difference and move fast.
Misdemeanor Bail Bonds
Most misdemeanors land in Cherokee County State Court or a city municipal court. These are usually the fastest releases we write.
DUI Bail Bonds
DUI is a bail restricted offense in Georgia, so a secured bond is required. We handle first offenses and repeat charges out of the Cherokee County ADC.
Domestic Violence Bonds
Family violence cases carry mandatory no-contact conditions. We explain exactly what your loved one can and cannot do after release.
Drug Charge Bail Bonds
Possession, sale and trafficking charges are treated very differently under Georgia law. Some require a Superior Court judge before any bond is set.
Probation Violation Bonds
Probation violations often start with no bond at all. We tell you honestly whether a bond is possible and what has to happen first.
Warrant Walk-Through Bonds
If there is a warrant out, you can often turn yourself in with a bond already arranged and be back out in a fraction of the time.
Failure to Appear & Bench Warrants
Missing court in Georgia means a bench warrant and a forfeited bond. There is a legal window to fix it, and it closes fast.
Theft & Shoplifting Bonds
Theft by taking, shoplifting and financial card charges range from misdemeanor to felony depending on value and prior history.

Cherokee County bail bonds questions, answered
Georgia law caps a professional surety premium at 15% of the face amount of the bond, with a minimum of $50 per bonded charge (O.C.G.A. § 17-6-30). That premium is non-refundable — it is what you pay the bonding company to post the full bond on your behalf. On a $10,000 bond that is $1,500. If you post a cash bond directly with the Sheriff instead, you pay the entire $10,000 plus a $20 non-refundable state bond fee, and the cash comes back at the end of the case.
It depends on where they are in the process. A person has to be fully booked before any bond can be posted, and a judge has to have set a bond amount. Cherokee County Magistrate Court operates 24 hours a day, 365 days a year with seven part-time judges specifically so that every person booked into the Adult Detention Center gets a first appearance and a bail decision. Georgia law requires that hearing within 48 hours of a warrantless arrest or 72 hours of an arrest on a warrant. Once a bond is set and our paperwork is accepted at the jail, release comes down to the jail’s processing time. Call us and we will tell you honestly where things stand.
You will need valid government-issued photo identification, verifiable contact information, and enough stability that we can reach you and reach the defendant. As the co-signer (also called the indemnitor) you are guaranteeing that the defendant appears at every court date until the court exonerates the bond. You can sign in person at our Canton office, or by email or fax if you are out of town.
The judge forfeits the bond and issues a bench warrant, and under Georgia law (O.C.G.A. § 17-6-71, as amended effective July 1, 2024) the court sets an execution hearing not sooner than 150 days and not later than 180 days after the failure to appear. As the co-signer you become responsible for the full face amount of the bond if the defendant is never produced. Call us the moment you know there is a problem — the statute contains remission provisions, but they are time-limited and they reward moving fast.
Not always, and any bondsman who tells you otherwise is not being straight with you. Under O.C.G.A. § 17-6-1, offenses including murder, rape, armed robbery, aggravated child molestation, aggravated sexual battery, home invasion in the first degree, drug trafficking and criminal street gang offenses are bailable only before a judge of the Superior Court. Probation violations frequently carry no bond at all until a judge acts. We will look at the charge and tell you exactly what is possible.
Talk to us. The 15% premium is set by statute and cannot be discounted below the statutory minimum, but how you pay it is a conversation worth having. Bring what you have and we will work with you.
