Legal Question in Criminal Law in California
If my battery charges were dropped and I did not even meet before a judge, shouldn't my bail be dropped as well?

Usually, the court will exonerate bail. However, it can be overlooked. You may need to contact the court and request that he enter an order nunc pro tunc to exonerate the bail. The risk that the DA may file and you would have to post bail again.

If you posted cash bail directly to the court, it will be returned. If you paid a bail bondsman his 'insurance premium' to post bail, he earned it and you don't get it back.

Not if you are being held on other charges.

Your bail should be exonerated. What you may have paid a bail bond man is not refundable. Contact me directly.
