Is bail money returned when the accused gets dismissed?

it depends if you paid in full bail, or a percentage of the bail. If you go to court and your'e case is dismissed all your bond money will be returned if you paid in full. if you paid through a bondsman he will keep the percentage of the bail. Depending on what your bail is set at depends on what percentage the bondsman keeps. example you bond is $3000 you paid the jail that 3000. you would get that all back. but if you used a bondsman he would keep 300 of that 3000 which equals 10% Hope that helps
