Are There Bail Bond Agents Who Specialize in DUI Cases?
Most bail bond agents handle DUI cases regularly — they're among the most common arrests. You don't need a "DUI specialist." Any licensed bail bond agent can post bond for a DUI arrest. What matters is:
- They're licensed in Florida
- They're available when you call (24/7)
- They respond quickly (under 5 minutes with QuickBail)
What Happens After a DUI Arrest?
- Arrest & booking — Defendant is taken to county jail
- Sobering period — Florida requires a minimum 8-hour hold or until BAC drops below 0.05
- Bail is set — Based on the standard bail schedule or at first appearance
- Bond posted — Bail bond agent posts the bond
- Release — After the sobering period and bail processing
Important: The Sobering Period
Even after bail is posted, Florida law requires DUI defendants to be held until they are no longer impaired — typically at least 8 hours. This means the actual release may take longer than a normal bail posting.
