Maryland Bail Bonds Blog

Recently, Big Boyz Bail Bonds went to the extreme for one of their clients incarcerated in Towson Detention Center. The defendant was being held on a $100,000 bail. His family did not have the means to post his bail; however, there was a long time family friend that wanted to assist in the matter. There was only one problem; the family friend was incarcerated as well.

Big Boyz Bail Bonds was contacted by the long time family friend through a collect call which many bail bondsmen in Maryland do NOT accept! The family friend wanted his banker to issue a check from his account to Big Boyz Bail Bonds; however, the bank's policy would not allow this. Therefore, the only option would be for the bank to issue a check payable to the family friend and have him endorse it over to our licensed bail agent. Most bail bonds companies would not jump through all these hoops in order to help out a client, but our 24 hour reliable bail bonds company always goes the extra mile for our clients.

The long time family friend's bank issued the check, but this was only the beginning. Our bail agent now had to figure out how to get the family friend to endorse the check and sign a receipt all while being incarcerated. The only possible way to accomplish this was to have the family friend put the bail agent on his personal visitation list. Luckily for all parties involved, he was able to get in contact with one of the supervisors on duty and put our bondsman on his visitation list.

The never-arrested-before Maryland Bail Agent Recounted his experience inside the jail that day:

After emptying everything out of my pockets I was frisked and searched to make sure I had nothing else on me. I was taken to an elevator and was directed to take it down three floors, get off and walk down the long hallway until I reached a giant metal door. Walking down this hallway reminded me of the movie "The Shinning;" the same door after door appeared with no one in sight. Eventually, I reached the end of the hallway where I was taken into a room to wait for the defendant. They brought in the defendant, an older white man wearing a ripped jail jumpsuit. There was a glass partition between us, but if he wanted to he would have had no difficulty jumping over top to attack me. There were no guards in the room with us, but he remained seated in his chair. He proceeded to explain his situation to me as well as his fondness for his family friend. I slid all the documents underneath the partition for him to sign and he did so without any hesitation. I then left the room and felt as if I was running out of that place. It is definitely not some place where I would want to end up.

The bail agent informed our 24 hour bail bonds location that everything was taken care of. He then went over to the Towson District Court Commissioners Office to post the bail for the Defendant.

Fortunately for all parties involved this process was able to take place without any major glitch. The defendant was later released that night, and surely owed a debt of gratitude to his longtime family friend. Big Boyz Bail Bonds is in the business of helping people get out of jail so that they can get home and fight their case. It does not matter how strange the situation may seem, if we can help, we will do whatever we can to help ensure your freedom.

Big Boyz Bail Bonds recently attended a fundraiser for the Sitting Judges of the Circuit Court for Baltimore County. Judges Bailey, Brobst and Nagle are asking for your support and re-elect them to the circuit Court for Baltimore County.

The kick off campaign was held at Martins West from 5:30 pm to 8:30 pm. Countless attorneys and prosecutors attended this event. Our 24 hour Maryland Bail Bonds Company regularly attends events such as this to show our care and support of the Justice System. It was a pleasure to speak with defense and state's attorney's and give them a better understanding of just what it is that we do as Bondsmen and why it is so important for us to continue our much needed roll in the Justice System.

What is a kickoff campaign? When there are vacancies in the Baltimore County Circuit Court the Governor appoints Judges who are highly qualified to serve on the bench until the next election. When the next election occurs, those Circuit Court Judges who wish to continue to serve must run for a 15 year term in a special non-partisan election.

Recently appointed Judges Sherrie R. Bailey, Ann Brobst and John Nagle are each running to be retained as Circuit Court Judges for Baltimore County in the 2010 election.

What is MAAWLE?

The Mid-Atlantic Association of Women in Law Enforcement Association is a professional organization of law enforcement officers and individuals promoting women in law enforcement working or residing within the states of Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, District of Columbia, and Pennsylvania.

This weekend Big Boyz Bail Bonds attended this great event located at the Pier 5 Hotel downtown Baltimore, Maryland. Big Boyz Bail Bonds had such a great time at this event and met so many wonderful women in Law enforcement who risk their lives every day for their job. It was nice to be able to talk with and answer different questions and misconceptions police had about bail bonds.

We are certainly able to relate to women in law enforcement as Big Boyz Bail Bonds is proud to boast that over 50% of our staff is made up of women. One might not believe it given our name, but women play a vital part in making the everyday occurrences in our business run smoothly.

We were also able play a round of golf at Grey Stone Golf Course with groups of women in Law enforcement. We had a great time on the course besides it being so cold that Sunday.

The event also had a room with different venders set up and Big Boyz Bail Bonds was honored to be asked to set up a booth with our infamous t-shirts, Big Boyz Pens and key chains. They were such a big hit amongst the police who said they see our pens and shirts everywhere.

This event is held every year but not always in the same place. Every year this event is in a new location between one of the Mid-Atlantic States. If you would like more information on the Association and like to support it, please go to their website: www.maawle.org

Just the other day, our Baltimore City Bail Bonds Company was contacted by the fine people that run WelcomeToBaltimoreHun.com. Welcome to Baltimore Hun is a Baltimore based blog that is all about, what else: Baltimore.

Currently, they are running a contest on their blog called "Crabs for Mother's day" and Big Boyz Bail Bonds is donating our very own Bail Bonds T-shirts as 2nd and 3rd place prizes for the contest. (see below)

We hope that as many people as possible will visit their site and contribute to this contest by writing memorable occurrences in Baltimore with their Mother.

Big Boyz Bail Bonds would still like to mention, that even if you do not win a t-shirt we have plenty of t-shirts in all of our 24 hour bail bonds locations. If you cannot make it in then be sure to look out for our Bail Bonds trucks fully stocked with pens, key chains, and of course bail bonds shirts.

Maryland Bail Bondsmen are in the business of making sure that the defendants we bail out appear for court. If we fail to produce the defendants for court we become responsible for the total amount of the bond we posted. Therefore we take a high volume of risk and have been burned by defendants of ours before. See our wanted fugitives page as an example.

Recently Big Boyz Bail Bonds bailed out a defendant on an arrest warrant from 2003 out of Washington County Maryland. When the family member came in to post the bail they told us that the defendant had an outstanding warrant for Frederick County Maryland. When we did a record check for the defendant, we noticed that a bondsman posted a $2,500 bond for this defendant in August of 2002 and he failed to appear for court in February of 2003.

The bondsman who posted this bail was held responsible to pay the district court of Maryland for Frederick County $2,500 in August of 2003. Fortunately for this bondsman, our bail bonds company contacted the insurance company associated with this bail and informed them of the defendant's incarceration. Due to this, the bail bondsman will be reimbursed the $2,500 in a matter of some time.

Even though the bail bonds business in Maryland is extremely competitive we think it is still important to help other bondsmen, whom are liable for their bond forfeitures, and inform them of fugitive defendants that become incarcerated in other jurisdictions. Big Boyz Bail Bonds takes great pride in performing a legitimate service for our community so tax payers don't have to pay out more money to a potential pre-trial supervision program in lieu of bail bonds.

Maryland Bail Bonds Company Big Boyz Bail Bonds has revamped their Wanted Fugitives Page and is offering cash rewards to any information leading to their captures. Due to the sheer volume of bails that our bail bonds company executes in a given year we undoubtedly rack up our fair share of bond forfeitures.

It is important to understand that not everyone misses court on purpose. Some people simply confuse the dates or run into issues with transportation. There are really a multitude of reasons somebody can fail to appear for a court date after posting bond. Fortunately for us, many are willing to turn themselves in and take care of the bench warrant. However, there are many that miss court and make every effort possible to avoid our bail bonds company in hopes of never being captured.

Over time, we will be adding new photos and new wanted posters for our fugitives on our website. Please check our website frequently and feel free to leave anonymous tips on possible locations or information concerning one of our bail jumpers. If information you provide us leads to an eventual capture you will be rewarded handsomely.

Any information provided will be kept entirely confidential for your protection. We do not suggest that anybody make any attempts at physically capturing any of our fugitives as they may be considered armed and dangerous. It is important to only contact Big Boyz Bail Bonds and speak to a licensed representative from our company.
