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.

How Do Bail Bonds Work in Knox 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.
Pay the 10% premium
