Pricing & timing

What to expect.

Generic pricing

Appeal bonds (supersedeas bonds) are required to stay execution of a judgment while an appeal is pending. Pricing Information:. Court bonds are reviewed case-by-case and must be approved before pricing can be provided. • Bond amount: Typically 100–150% of the judgment amount. • What affects pricing: Case amount, type of appeal, credit and financial strength. • Collateral: Often required (ILOC or cash collateral). • Expedited service: Available for time-sensitive appeals. Court requirements override standard pricing logic — upfront estimates are not reliable. Each appeal bond must be individually underwritten and approved by the court.

Your quote determines the actual premium.
