You won't get a bail bond refunded, but make sure your attorney files for a Declaration of Factual Innocence. Just being accused of domestic violence can have devastating effects on your life.

U need 2 read your contract with the bail bondsman. That usually states that the premium U paid was nonrefundable, regardless of the merit of the arrest or charges.
