Curtis Burkett — Marine Corps Veteran & Your Grainger County Bondsman

Patriot Bail Bonds was founded by Curtis Burkett, a Marine Corps veteran who came home with a mission: show up for families when they need help most. After seeing too many people sitting in jail simply waiting for their day in court, he started Patriot in 2005 — and he still works every case personally alongside his family, including a son serving in the Marines and a daughter who is a criminal justice graduate.

That's why Rutledge families get fast responses, straight answers, and zero judgment — from the first phone call all the way through your day in court at the Grainger County Courthouse.

The Basics

How Do Bail Bonds Work in Grainger County?

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.
