Getting someone out of jail in Nelson, GA
Nelson is the one city in the county with a genuine jurisdictional split: the original town centre sits in Pickens County, but the city limits expanded south so that most of Nelson is now in Cherokee County. Which side of that line an arrest happens on decides which jail the person goes to — the Cherokee County Adult Detention Center in Canton, or the Pickens County jail in Jasper.
That is not a technicality. It changes the bond process, the court, the paperwork and the drive. Before you do anything else, find out which county has custody. Call us with the name and we will locate them.

Nelson City Hall assists the public with municipal court matters during business hours, but the city does not publish session days, times or judge information. Call before you drive out.
Confirm accepted payment methods with City Hall directly.
Court information changes. Session days, judges and hours are set by each court and are updated without notice. Always confirm with the clerk before you drive, and never rely on a website — including this one — instead of the date printed on your citation or bond paperwork.

Any charge, any court
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.
Nelson bail bonds: common questions
To the Cherokee County Adult Detention Center at 498 Chattin Drive, Canton, GA 30115. There is only one county jail in Cherokee County, and everyone arrested in Nelson by any agency goes there to be booked.
The same as everywhere else in Georgia: a licensed surety may charge up to 15% of the face amount of the bond, with a minimum of $50 per bonded charge, under O.C.G.A. § 17-6-30. The premium is non-refundable. A $5,000 bond costs $750; a $20,000 bond costs $3,000.
Yes. You can sign in person at our Canton office at 2920 Marietta Highway, Unit 106, or remotely by email or fax. We work with out-of-town and out-of-state co-signers constantly.
Our office is on Marietta Highway in Canton, minutes from the Adult Detention Center. Once a bond has been set by a judge and a co-signer has signed, an agent is on the way. The remaining time is the jail’s own release processing, which we do not control — but we do not add to it either.
