what is bond forfeiture
What is a Bond Forfeiture? Bail Forfeiture, also known as Bond Forfeiture, is a legal process that is used sometimes to resolve Misdemeanor Criminal Cases in Ohio courts. Typically, a Bond / Bail forfeiture involves a person who is arrested for a misdemeanor charge and must appear before a court. The defense attorney for the person charged would work out an agreement with the prosecutor so his client is not convicted of the charge but receives a bail / bond forfeiture instead.
