Whether or not you are able to get your bail bond money back with repoect to the criminal matter that you were arrested for but where the matter was subsequently dismissed depends upon what is stated in your bail bond contract. As such, carefully read the document in that its terms and conditions control the obligations owed under the agreement by you to the bonding company and vice versa. Most likely you are not entitled to the return of the premium you paid for the bond.
