Will a bondsman refund money if a charge was dismissed?

A bondsman has nothing to do with your case.  His only responsibility is to put up the security for you to be in court and for that they charge a fee.  Typical fee is 10%.  Most people go to a bondsman because they cant afford to put up $25,000, so they pay a bonds man to put up that amount.  if you put up the $25,000 with the county then all monies are returned to you when the case is over and if the bond has not been forfeited.  This happens whether you are found guilty or not guilty. The only thing the bondsman has to worry about is you showing up to court.  If you don't, he has to pay the $25,000 to the county. So if all you paid the bondsman was a fee for putting up your $25,000 bond then that money does not return to you regardless of the outcome of the case.  That is how bondmen make a living.  I hope this answer was helpful and thanks for contacting us for your legal questions.
