Do you get money back from bail bondsman?
No. When posting bail (bond) you pay a bondsman an amount negotiated usually 10% of the total bail amount. Example $50,000 bail, you pay the bondsman $5,000 then put up co-lateral worth $50,000 and the bondsman is the one to pay the State/Court the balance. If the person on bail forfeits (skips out) on the bail then the collateral becomes property of the bondsman. The original $5,000 is how the bondsman earns his living.

no

A bondsman makes money in the bail bond industry by charging a non-refundable fee, typically around 10 of the total bail amount, to post bail for a defendant.

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

Another type of bondman is a professional of property bondsman. In this case the bondsman pledges real property with the state of county that they wish to operate in, as collateral to gaurantee that they can pay off any bond they write if the defendant skips bail. This bondsman, keeps the full amount of the bail bond premium fee that he or she collects. The last and least common type of bondsman is one that pledges cash or securities with the state or county they operate in in. Again, this collateral is used to guarantee the ability of the bondsman to pay off a bail bond if the defendant fails to appear and can not be located and returned to court or jail. Since this bondsman is pledging his or her own money, they keep the full amount of the bail bond premium fee collected. The term bondsman is gender neutral. Slightly over half of the bail agents in the U. S. are women.
