Bond Forfeited

[lostalot]

My question involves criminal law for the state of: Washington
I posted bond for a guy he didn't show for a status hearing I talked him into returning he surrendered himself 14 days after missing court do i still owe the 10K the judge forfeited the bond on the day he didn't show will it be exonerated now, someone said I had 30 days to get him to come back.

You need to talk to an attorney in your state asap.

Perhaps someone here knows bond law in Washington, but I would tend to doubt it.

[Mr. Knowitall]

You posted bond directly with the court, and not with a bonding company ('bail bondsman')? Was the bond reinstated after he turned himself in? Did you try petitioning the court for return of the bond?

If you're asking '' it sounds like we're talking about a private bail bonding company. If the issue is that you paid their fee and guaranteed the bond, and they're out the $10K, you can expect them to want to be reimbursed. But you have to give us the basic background facts.
