Simple assault to aggravated battery - we assess the charge, confirm the bail, and begin the release process the moment you call.
What Is an Assault Bail Bond, And How Does It Work in Tampa, FL?
Florida distinguishes carefully between assault — which does not require physical contact — and battery — which does. A simple misdemeanor assault charge can carry bail as low as a few hundred dollars and be processed entirely by phone. A 1st degree felony aggravated battery charge involving a law enforcement officer or a vulnerable victim can require a bond of $150,000 or more. Big John’s Bail Bond handles every level, and our licensed agents assess the specific charge the moment you call to give you an accurate picture of the process, the timeline, and the cost.
Florida's Assault & Battery Charge Levels - And What They Mean for Your Bail Amount
In Florida, assault and battery are legally distinct — and the degree of the charge has a direct, measurable impact on the bail amount the court will set. Understanding where a specific charge sits on this scale tells you immediately what size bond Big John’s needs to post and what the 10% premium will cost.
Whether the arrest involved a verbal threat with no contact, a physical altercation, or a serious aggravated incident, Big John’s Bail Bond has posted bonds at every level in Hillsborough County. Our agents identify the exact charge the moment you call — and tell you honestly what to expect.
"Simple assault to aggravated battery — we begin the release process the moment you call, regardless of the severity of the charge. That is what 30 years of experience looks like."

The Three Parties Involved in an Assault Bail Bond
| Party | Role | What They’re Responsible For |

| The Defendant | The person charged with assault or battery | Appearing at every required court hearing — including arraignment and all subsequent dates related to the charge |
| The Indemnitor / Co-signer | The person arranging the bond (typically family) | Ensuring the defendant appears at court — financially liable for the full bail amount if the defendant fails to appear |
| Big John’s Bail Bond | Licensed Tampa assault bail bondsman | Confirming the exact charge level and posting the full bail amount — from misdemeanor assault to felony aggravated battery |
| The Court | Sets bail at first appearance based on charge level | Releases the defendant on the posted bond; forfeits bond if the defendant misses any required hearing |

How Our Assault Bail Bond Process Works - Step by Step
From your first call to the moment your loved one walks out of Hillsborough County Jail — here is exactly what happens when you work with Big John’s Bail Bond on an assault or battery case.
Call Big John's - 24 Hours a Day, Straight From Your Phone
A real licensed Tampa bail agent answers immediately. No voicemail, no automated system. Tell us the defendant’s name and the facility they’re being held at. We begin looking up the charges and bail amount in real time while you are still on the phone — identifying both the primary charge and any secondary charges attached to the arrest.
We Confirm the Exact Charge Level and Bail Amount
Our agent searches the Hillsborough County inmate system and confirms the precise assault or battery charge — whether it is misdemeanor simple assault, 3rd degree felony aggravated assault, or 2nd degree felony aggravated battery. The charge level determines the bail amount, and we confirm it directly with the jail before asking you to commit to anything
We Check for Overlapping Charges - Including DV Components
Assault and battery arrests in Tampa sometimes come with overlapping charges — a domestic violence component, a weapons enhancement, or a prior-record escalation that changes the charge degree. Big John’s Bail Bond identifies every attached charge before proceeding so there are no surprises in processing. If a DV component is present, we apply the same careful handling used for all DV cases.
We Explain Every Payment Option - Transparently and Without Pressure
Once we have the full charge picture and bail amount, we walk you through your options: the 10% Florida premium, low down payment plans, instalment arrangements, and no-collateral bond eligibility. For misdemeanor assault charges, the process is typically fast and affordable. For felony aggravated battery charges, we explain high-bail options clearly and honestly
Paperwork Signed - Remotely, Online, or In Person
All assault bail bond paperwork can be completed electronically over the phone or via e-signature online. You never need to visit our office unless you prefer to. Our office at 2100 Orient Rd, Tampa FL 33619 is open 24 hours for walk-in assistance. We explain all co-signer responsibilities fully before anything is signed.
Your Loved One Is Released
Once the assault bail bond is posted and accepted, jail staff process the release. In most misdemeanor assault cases, release occurs within 2 to 6 hours. Felony aggravated battery cases may take longer due to processing complexity. We keep you updated throughout and remain reachable until your loved one is home.
