1-800-468-1161 Speak to an Agent


* Agents work rotating on-call shifts and cover for one another, so we cannot promise a particular agent on a particular night. Whoever answers is licensed and approved for the county you are calling about, and that is what matters for getting the bond written.
Cumberland Bail Bonds has written bonds throughout East and Middle Tennessee since 1991. Our agents have worked these courthouses and jails for decades, and that familiarity is usually what separates a same-night release from a weekend in a cell. We know the clerks, the paperwork, and the order things have to happen in.
You will speak with a licensed local agent rather than a call center. No judgment, no lecture, and a straight answer about what it costs before you decide anything.
If you are not sure whether you even need a bondsman, ask us. We will tell you honestly.
Tell us the name and the county. That is enough for us to find them, confirm the bail, and get started, whatever time it is.
1-800-468-1161 Speak to an AgentA licensed agent answers 24 hours a day, every day of the year, including holidays.
We start the moment payment is arranged. Most releases are underway within the hour.
Payment plans as state law allows, no hidden fees, and your exact figure quoted before you commit.
Licensed, bonded and insured agents who know your county's jail and courthouse.
No judgment and no lecture. Everyone here has taken this call from their own family.
Your business stays your business. Confidential from the first call to the last payment.
Not sure which county? Call the main line on 1-800-468-1161 and we will point you to the right agent.
Nobody plans on needing a bail bondsman. When the call has to be made, you want somebody who picks up, tells you the truth about the cost, and gets moving on it.
That is the whole job, and it is what we have done in these counties since 1991.

Every bond is different. The court sets the bond amount, and your figure depends on it. Call us with the name and the county and we will quote your exact figure on the first call, before you commit to anything.
Payment plans are available as Tennessee law allows, and there are no hidden fees.
We post the bond once the paperwork is signed and payment is arranged, usually within an hour of your call. After that the timing belongs to the jail. An hour is quick, a few hours is normal, and a busy weekend runs slower. We stay with it until your person is out.
Yes. A licensed local agent answers any hour of any day, in all 19 counties, and has since 1991. There is no different rate for a call at 3 a.m.
The person's full name, their date of birth, and the county holding them. The charge and the bail amount help but are not essential. We can usually look those up. Bring photo ID if you will be signing as the co-signer.
Nineteen across East and Middle Tennessee: Anderson, Bledsoe, Bradley, Coffee, Franklin, Grundy, Hamilton, Loudon, Marion, McMinn, Meigs, Monroe, Morgan, Polk, Rhea, Roane, Sequatchie, Van Buren, Warren. Each has a licensed local agent and a direct number, listed above.
Let us know the same day if you can. A missed appearance starts a forfeiture and can lead to a bench warrant. Many of these are resolved when we hear early, so it is always worth the call.
The co-signer guarantees the defendant appears in court, and is responsible for the cost of the bond and, if the defendant does not appear, for recovery costs and potentially the full bond amount. We go through the document with you before anything is signed.
Not always. It depends on the bond amount, the charge and the co-signer's circumstances. We will tell you plainly whether your situation needs it before you commit to anything.
