Big Boyz Bail Bonds Makes Sure Defendants Appear for Court
As has been mentioned many times before in our Maryland Bail Bonds Blog, the primary purpose of bail in the state of Maryland is to guarantee the defendants appearance in court. If a bail bondsman does not perform this duty then they are failing at their service to the state.
Something that can make it difficult to appear for court is if you have multiple violations in multiple jurisdictions. If you fall under this category it can be difficult to keep tabs on the dates and times of your multiple court dates. It is important as a defendant out on multiple bonds to stay in contact with their bail bondsman on a regular basis. Court dates are subject to change, and people are subject to move and never change their address with the courts. This is a recipe for disaster as bench warrants are inevitable in these circumstances.

This defendant had a lot on his plate to say the least.

When the defendant reported to our bail bonds office to sign paperwork for his bail we made sure to break this down for him so he fully understood the situation he was facing. We will also be calling him in the days leading up to each one of his court dates as a reminder. And as an additional service we would even provide transportation to court if he needed us in an emergenc
