Really depends on the bondsmen. Best way to found out -- call the bail bondsmen and they'll tell you.

The Bond is held until you go to court, once you appear, the Fees, Fines and Court Costs are Assessed and taken out of the Bond including any Bondsmen fees, the rest you get back.
I would expect to get about 1/3 of it back and celebrate if it is more!

Depends on the amount of the bond and who you paid it to. If you paid $5000 on a $5000 bond to the court, at the end of the case you should get most of it back (they may subtract court costs). If you paid a bondsman $5000 on a $50,000 you can kiss it goodbye.

That depends how you paid. If you paid it yourself, you get it all back if the person appears in court on the due date. If you used a bail bondsman, then he charged you a non-refundable fee - he took the risk that the person might not show up, and you paid him to take that risk.

The bonding firm typically charges 15% of the bond as the bonding fee.
