Bail Bond Review Towson District Court - Everything You Ever Wanted to Know

I've been asked by a number of clients recently: Will my loved one be present in the Courtroom during the bail review in the Towson District Court?  The answer is No.  A couple of years ago, Baltimore County was one of the last Counties in Maryland to change, the bail review reviews were switched from in-person to conducted through a closed circuit television system.

Towson Bond/Bail Lawyer
410-288-2900
Available 24/7

Now that I answered that question, below are some other facts regarding the Bail/Bond Review Process in Baltimore County's Towson District Court.

• If you are going to a bail review in Baltimore County Towson District Court, you will be in Courtroom number 1.  
• The individual facing the bail review is being held at the Towson Baltimore County Detention Center.
• The bond reviews will begin at 1:00 p.m.  
• The Judges change daily so we do not know who will hear your case until the Judges comes out onto the bench.  
• You should have an attorney present, contact my office at 410-288-2900 to schedule and retain a Towson Bail Review Lawyer.  We can arrange a bail bonds company to be present on the day of the bond hearing in order that your loved one will be released as soon as possible.  
• You will be able to see your loved one on the TV monitor in the Courtroom, he/she will not be able to see you.  
• You will be able to hear what your loved one is saying.  
• This new system of bail reviews makes it even more important to hire an local bail review attorney for the hearing.  Since it is often hard for the Judge to hear the arrested individual then the lawyer can make a better argument to reduce bail or release on own recognizance.
• A lawyer can speak for the individual facing the bail review.  Remember, anything that person says can be used against them.  Therefore, let our Bail Review Attorney say it and that statement cannot be held against the charged.
• The hearings are held the day after the arrest of the individual, except if they are arrested on Friday or during the weekend, the hearing will be on the following Monday, unless that Monday is a Court holiday.  
• All bail/bond review hearings are held in the Towson District Court and not in the Essex (Kelso Drive) or Catonsville District Courts.

If a family or friend has been charged, arrested and held on bail/bond, they need a Bail Attorney in Towson.  Contact the office, 24/7, at 410-288-2900 and speak with G. Randolph Rice, Jr., Esquire.  We can answer your questions regarding the bail hearing and help get the arrested released.

You should not allow a person charged with a crime appear at a bond hearing without an attorney.

Criminal Expungement in Maryland - Avvo.com

Criminal Expungement in Maryland - Avvo.com

Expunging a Criminal Record

Expungement is the removal of records from public inspection. Records may be expunged from MVA files, Court, and police files. Court records are not automatically expunged; to have the records removed one must file a petition for expungement with the Court. Court records may be expunged if the following occurred: a finding of not guilty (acquittal), guilty finding of certain nuisance crimes, the charges were dismissed, the charges resulted in a probation before judgment (excluding charges of driving while under the influence or driving while impaired), the State’s Attorney entered a nolle prosequi, the Court entered a Stet, a full and unconditional pardon by the Governor was granted.

The waiting period to file the petition with the Court varies depending on the outcome of the case. An individual may file a petition for expungement immediately upon an outcome of an acquittal (not guilty), nolle prosequi, or a dismissal. If an individual was granted probation before judgment (PBJ), then a petition may be filed three years after the probation was granted or probation ended, whichever is later. A petition for expungement based on a guilty verdict for a specified nuisance crime may be filed three years from the date of conviction or satisfactory completion of the sentence, including probation, whichever is later. For Stets, an individual may file a petition for expungement three years after the Stet was entered. For cases that do not fall under these findings, an individual may file a petition for expungement at any time on a showing of good case to the Court and the Court will decide if an expungement is appropriate.

One is not entitled to an expungement of records in cases where a guilty finding was entered except for certain nuisance crimes under Maryland Criminal Procedure §10-105(a)(9), if a finding of probation before judgment, nolle prosequi, stet, a pardon or conviction of a specified publican nuisance crime, and since then the person has been convicted of another crime other than a minor traffic violation or are a defendant is a pending criminal proceeding, of a disposition of probation before judgment for a violation of driving under the influence (DUI) or driving while impaired (DWI). In addition, if charged with multiple offenses and some of the charges were nolle prosequi but were found guilty of one or more of the other charges, then a person is not able to file a petition for expungement of the charges that were nolle prosequi.

The fee to file a petition is $30.00 however there is no fee for a verdict of not guilty (acquittal). The process for a petition for expungement usually takes 90 days from the date of filing

If you need more information on filing for an expungement or any other criminal related legal questions, please contact our office at 410.288.2900.
