How It Works
Getting someone out of jail does not have to be complicated. Here is how we make it simple.
Call Us Anytime
Our team is available 24/7. One quick call gets the process started — we collect basic information about the arrest and begin working immediately.
We Handle the Paperwork

Your Loved One Goes Home
Once the bond is posted, the release process begins. We guide you through every step and explain all court date requirements clearly.
How Do Bail Bonds Work?
A bail bond is a guarantee that gets someone out of jail before trial. After an arrest, a judge sets a bail amount. Instead of paying it all, you pay a licensed bondsman a non-refundable 10% premium — set by Tennessee law. The bondsman posts the full bail with the court, and the defendant is released on the promise to appear at every court date.
Arrest and booking
The defendant is booked at the jail, and a judge sets the bail amount based on the charges and flight risk.
Pay the 10% premium
You pay a non-refundable 10% premium and sign a bail agreement with a licensed bondsman.
The bondsman posts the bond
The bondsman guarantees the full bail amount to the court so the defendant can be released.
Release
The defendant is released from jail, usually within 2 to 6 hours of the bond being posted.
Court appearances
The defendant must appear at every court date. If they do, the bond is discharged and nothing more is owed.
Tennessee Bail Calculator
Under Tennessee law, professional bail bondsmen charge a flat 10% premium for state residents. Non-residents may pay between 10% and 15%. Use this tool to estimate your costs.

“So I had a family member in need one night. I called a bunch of bail companies, and they all acted like they could care less about my issues. So I ended up on my last bondsman calling and it turned out to be Patriot Bail Bonds. If you ask me again, they would have been my first choice to begin with. They could not have been any nicer, took care of my issues easily.”

Under Tennessee law, professional bail bondsmen charge a flat 10% premium on the total bond amount for state residents. For example, if the bond is set at $25,000, you pay $2,500. For non-residents, the premium ranges from 10% to 15%. This premium is non-refundable and is the fee for our service.
Most releases happen within 2 to 6 hours after the bond is posted. The exact time depends on the jail's processing speed, how busy they are, and the complexity of the case. We work as fast as possible and keep you updated throughout.
