Maryland Bail Bonds Blog

Big Boyz Bail Bonds posted a $500,000 bond in Baltimore City last night for a defendant who had been forced to sit and wait 11 days for his bail review hearing. Due to the record snow fall that hit Baltimore City this winter so many court cases and bail review hearings were forced to be put on hold.

When the defendant went in front of the district court commissioner in Baltimore City for his initial bail hearing he was denied bail. Fortunately for the defendant, his family was able to retain the service of a qualified private attorney. The result of his bond review hearing was a $500,000 bond.

Most bondsmen in Maryland have difficulties getting a bond of this magnitude posted. Many bondsmen don't even have the ability to post a bail of this size. Big Boyz Bail Bonds was able to give the family member signing for this bond an approval within 30 minutes of completing the bail application.

Needless to say, Big Boyz couldn't have made it any easier for the family and the defendant to get released on the half-a-million-dollar bond. Many bondsmen require that 3-6 people sign on a bail or this size, but Big Boyz Bail Bonds was able to execute the bond with just 1 person signing for the bail.

When a defendant gets arrested in Maryland and given a bail by a district court commissioner, they have the right to go to a bail review hearing the following business day. With the heavy snow storms that have engulfed the State of Maryland the last few days, inmates bail review hearings have been put on hold.

In many cases, the bond will get reduced at a bail review hearing particularly if the defendant doesn't have much of a prior criminal history. At the same token, the bail could get increased all the same so many people have been given extended time to try and come up with additional money in order to post bond prior to their bail review hearing.

Recently, The Baltimore Sun wrote a great article in regards to this problem that we are having currently in our criminal justice system. In addition to the bail review hearings being delayed, trials for cases are being postponed and one might have to wait many more months for a new trial date.

The storm has put a lot of our clients on edge wondering when the courts will be open next and if their court date is still on schedule. Of course if one of our clients out on bond fails to appear for court due to inclement weather they will be held accountable and a bench warrant can be issued for their arrest. So we have had many phone calls from our clients during this storm asking about the status of their trials.

Big Boyz Bail Bonds never closed during the duration of the record snow storm that took place. Even though many court commissioners were closed which made it virtually impossible to post bails we were here to help with your situation.
