Misdemeanor Bail Bonds in Memphis TN | Memphis TN Bail Bonds

A misdemeanor arrest still puts someone in jail. It still means a mugshot, a bond amount, and a family trying to figure out how to get their person home. Even though misdemeanor charges are less severe than felonies in Tennessee, the stress of the situation is the same.

Memphis TN Bail Bonds handles misdemeanor bail bonds across the Memphis metro area including Downtown Memphis, East Memphis, Midtown Memphis, and Whitehaven. We move fast, keep the process simple, and operate around the clock.

What Is a Misdemeanor in Tennessee?

Tennessee classifies misdemeanors into three classes:

• Class A Misdemeanor: Carries up to 11 months and 29 days in jail and fines up to $2,500. Common examples include simple assault, theft under $1,000, and first offense DUI.
• Class B Misdemeanor: Carries up to 6 months in jail and fines up to $500. Examples include marijuana possession and reckless driving.
• Class C Misdemeanor: Carries up to 30 days in jail and fines up to $50.

Bail amounts for misdemeanor charges in Memphis vary based on the charge class, the defendant’s history, and the judge’s discretion. Even a Class C misdemeanor can require a bond before release is granted.

How Misdemeanor Bail Bonds Work in Memphis

The process for posting a misdemeanor bail bond in Memphis follows the same steps as any other bond:

• The bail amount is set by the court or based on a bail schedule
• You contact Memphis TN Bail Bonds with the defendant’s information
• We verify the charge and bond amount through the Shelby County system
• You pay the 10% premium or arrange a payment plan
• We post the bond and the jail processes the release

For misdemeanor charges, bond amounts are often lower, which means the premium is more accessible. Many misdemeanor clients are released the same day the bond is posted.
