Appeal without the judgment being enforced against you while it’s pending.
A supersedeas bond suspends enforcement during the appeal.
The judgment sets the penal sum — and we underwrite it.
A surety specialist reviews your file and returns a quote, usually within one business day.
















Enforcement can begin soon after a money judgment is entered, so the supersedeas bond has to come together quickly. Here is the whole process:
Apply online and attach the final judgment and notice of appeal. We need the judgment amount, the parties, and the court so we can size the penal sum the rule requires.
A specialist reviews the judgment, your financials, and any collateral, then returns a quote. Larger penal sums are typically collateralized — cash, a letter of credit, or pledged assets.
Once you bind, we issue the executed bond for the trial court to approve, ready to post and suspend enforcement of the judgment.
An appeal does not, by itself, stop the winning party from enforcing the judgment. A supersedeas bond (also called an appeal bond) is the security that suspends enforcement — collection is held while the appellate court decides.
The bond guarantees that if your appeal fails, the judgment, interest, costs, and damages for delay get paid. That is why the penal sum tracks the judgment rather than a flat figure, and why the surety underwrites you before issuing it.
Because the surety is on the hook for the full judgment, a large penal sum is usually collateralized — with cash, a letter of credit, or pledged assets — and supported by financials. We tell you what a given file needs before you commit.
These are the actual underwriting fields — the judgment, the parties, your business, and your financials. Submit once and a surety specialist reviews everything together and returns a quote, typically within one business day. Free until your bond is issued.
