Baltimore County Defendant Released on $25,000 bond via Out of State Signers.

This morning Big Boyz Bail Bonds of Baltimore Maryland executed a bond for a defendant locked up in the Baltimore County Detention Center. She was being held on a bond while having very little local support able and willing to secure her bond with a bail bonds company. The reason for her lack of support is because the defendant had only been living here in Maryland for a few years due to her employment.

The parents of this defendant were able to find us via our Maryland Bail Bonds website and contact us to inquire about getting their daughter released on bond. We explained to them that one of our specialties is posting bail bonds for defendants who have out of state signers. We specialize in this for the simple reason that so few other bail bondsmen in Maryland are willing and able to do a bail without someone local to sign for the bail.

We understand that people travel and move for various reasons and at any time or place one can get in a jam and get taken into police custody. We don't discriminate from doing bails for people that have out of state contacts. Certainly it makes the bond a little bit more difficult for us to do, and we are taking on additional risk, but we welcome the challenge.

If you or anyone you know is in need of a bail bond and doesn't have any family local in the Maryland area to help, do not hesitate to contact our 24 hour Bail Bonds Office. There is always someone available to speak to you and you will never listen to a recording.

Baltimore Bail Bondsmen Posting Cash Bails

The New Year is only a few days old and already we are starting to see quite a few changes take place in the Maryland Bail Bonds industry. One of the more significant changes to occur is that Baltimore Bail Bondsmen are now allowed to charge a fee for posting cash only bails for their clients. Prior to this, bondsmen were not allowed to assist their clients with this leaving many people unable to post these cash only bonds.

When a bond is set at cash only one can only pay the bond with cash or a certified bank check made out to the District Court of Maryland. There is no opportunity for financing like you would have when posting a regular bail bond with a bondsman.

This is a statewide change that technically all Maryland bail bondsmen can offer to their clients. The fact of the matter is, however, that very few will offer this service to their clients. Big Boyz Bail Bonds is one of the very few that will service cash bails of any amount. You might be asking why so few bondsmen in Maryland would be willing to do this as an additional service.

The reason is simple. Posting a bail bond versus posting a cash only bond is quite different. When one posts a bail bond they are essentially insuring the courts that they will pay the total sum of the bail if the defendant fails to appear for court. This means that the bondsmen do not have to put up any "physical money" to the courts. When one posts a cash bond they are doing the exact opposite. Bail Bondsmen who post cash only bonds are literally withdrawing money in the form of a certified check to post your bond. And when the defendant appears for court and the case gets closed, the money is returned to the bondsman that put up the money

The truth of the matter is that 99% of the bail bondsmen in Maryland simply don't have the funds to be able to do this. In addition, if they had the funds, they wouldn't want to put up their own cash for someone they didn't know. So if you come across a friend or family member that needs assistance with a cash only bond, remember to call Big Boyz Bail Bonds.
