Understanding Bond Court Availability in West Union
Oconee County requires bond postings to take place during the operating hours of available magistrates.
In Oconee County, there are two onsite magistrates that oversee Bond Court in the mornings and afternoons during scheduled times on weekdays. There is one morning judge and one afternoon judge.
We are able to post bail in front of these onsite magistrates for felonies and misdemeanors that are tied to arrests made by the Oconee County Sheriff’s Office.
However, if a charges stem from an arrest by a city police department, the bond is always set by a city judge or the chief magistrate. In those cases, we have to call the judge’s office to schedule a bond hearing at the jail, and they travel there so we can appear before them.
The most important thing to remember is:
Drolet Bonding is on call 24/7 to answer any question you may have, doing our best to give you peace of mind, even if the courthouse is locked up for the night.
