if case is dismissed is my bail refundable?
339332
It is my understanding (in my state at least) the bail  is refundable only if you pay 100% of it.  If you pay a bondsman his 10% or however much, that is not refundable.  The percentage is considered his fee for guaranteeing that you will appear in court after bonded out.

Your question needs clarification.  What were you suing the prosecutors office (the D.A.'s office?) for?\n\nIf you were charged with a crime, it was not a civil suit.  If you are scheduled to appear in court on a criminal matter, and you fail to appear, even if you have agreed with the prosecutor to dismiss the charges, you have just added another misdemeanor.  You've breached the agreement with the prosecutor, and they can pursue both the original charge and the failure to appear charge.\n\nIf you missed an appearance in the civil suit, generally you wont be charged with the failure to appear, but the court may sanction you, and if it was wilful or for an important appearance, the court might dismiss your suit.\n\nDespite all this, it is hard to answer your question because it is not clear what term you are looking for.

Unless he pays the bond he will remain in custody until the case is adjudicated (finished).  He might, however, suggest to his attorney to file a "Motion to Modify Release Orders".  The motion would request the lowering of the bail bond amount.  Frequently, if ou have been incarcerated for a month or two the judge may lower the bond and or release the person to pre-trial services and eliminate the bond.  \n\nThis motion, however, is not automatic and the defendant should discuss this with his attorney.

"The court does not give a final judgment regarding the case. The defendant is given probation, a program or community service in which they have a specified amount of time to complete. If the defendant complies, the case may be dismissed, depending on the county/state. If they do not dismiss in that particular county/state, then the disposition remains adjudication withheld and the case is closed. However, if the defendant is found in violation, the case disposition may be changed and the defendant can be found in guilt."

He will have a bail hearing.\n\nThey you can bail him out until the trial.\n\nI recommend you call a lawyer now.

If your in a court that has a high conviction rate if it goes to jury trial and the state evidence against you is enough to prove it was you then I would get a lawyer and possible get a reduced charge to pled guilty to before I just plead Guilty. If you plead guilty and goto jail APPEAL right away they might stay the charges and you wont serve until you loose the APPEAL. Get a cheap lawyer who doesnt have alot of cases to defend that is familar with the court in which your being charged, they can talk to the judge and prosocution to try and work something out so you dont serve time.

You are lucky to have been given a third chance. Generally speaking the case would have been dismissed (in my state) after the second no show.

It is difficult to answer your question without knowing more facts.  Rules of procedure vary by state and can also vary based on the type of proceeding or appeal.\n\nStays in criminal cases will be different than stays in civil cases.  An appeal while the case is pending might stay the entire case.  An appeal after the case might stay enforcement of a civil judgment or imposition of a criminal sentence.\n\nSome stays might terminate automatically when the court of appeal renders an opinion.  Some stays might require further action by the court.  There are just to many variables to answer your question specifically.\n\nYou should post more details about the case include the state, the type of proceeding, the status of the appeal and how the stay was issued.

You were never actually in jeopardy.  Until you actually start trying the case, meaning the charges are legally correct (note that doesn't mean your guility, just that the charges are correct) you can't be in jeopardy.  If the case starts progressing and then for some reason there is grounds to dismiss (a piece of evidence is exlucded and therefor there's no case, etc) then you've had jeopardy attach.

Yes, a warrant can be quashed at any time.\n\nYour best bet is to have an attorney contact the district attorney or other presiding officer for the jurisdiction where the warrant was issued. \n\nAlternatively, you can negotiate directly with the governor (state crimes) or the president's office (federal crimes) for clemency.

It depends on the crime and the state (jurisdiction).  The purpose of expungement is to give those who have made a one-time mistake a chance to have an unblemished criminal history. In CA, you file a 1203.4 Petition to have your guilty plea/conviction dismissed. It will be granted under certain conditions (you have completed probation, you have no new charges, not on probation for a new crime, etc.)  It's generally routine and easy if you meet the criterias.  However, it does not wipe your criminal history. It will still show an arrest but that it was 'dismissed.'

You have a 50-50 chance if you just show up for court, because most likely the officer who wrote the ticket won't.  Another route is to request the radar gun's accuracy record (legaly the police have to send you a copy of the radar gun which "caught you").  If there have been problems or many occurences for radar gun repair, then I would guess the judge would dismiss the case.

That most likely will not go away until it is handled through the courts.  Most any criminal lawyer ought to have the expertise to handle the required papers, filing and then the ensuing hearing.  Since the original charges are mute, it should be easy to have any flight to avoid prosecution charges dropped.  It would seem that a defense attorney would negotiate with the prosecutor's office to make this happen.

If your bond is revoked you will be taken into custody! If you have commited another crime while on bond, that in itself is a crime. Once the court revokes your bond the police don't come looking for you right away but the Bondsman does! They are still liable for the value of the bond until you are taken into custody. If the bondsman hears you have been arrested again they will summarily revoke your bond. In most cases they will re bond you.

Go to the legal library and look up your charges in the appeals section for your area.  Find a lawyer who took a case like yours and won. Don't wast you time and life in jail by picking a lawyer out of the phone book, he will just take your money.  The clerk at the library will help you.  Good luck, and remember it makes no difference if you did it or not unless you have DNA to prove you didn't.

No.  Criminal charges can not be brought.  Police officers, District Attorney and judges enjoy some pretty impressive immunities from suit and criminal prosecution.\n\nThe only thing you could sue for is the police officer for false arrest.  Neither the judge nor the District Attorney can be sued.  They were doing their job.  They are immune from suit.  Even if you do file a suit against the arresting officer, it sounds to me like the suit will fall flat.\n\nJust let it go.  This is a dead bang loser.  I can almost gaurantee that you will not find a single attorney willing to take this case.\n\nSorry.

Depends on the jurisdiction, but you can be arrested and cited for contempt in most cases.  I'd suggest you contact the court clerk as soon as possible and rectify the situation.  Don't let this turn into something major.  Take responsibility and fix it.
