I handled an interesting bail hearing in Towson this week where a good argument and creative thinking allowed the defendant to be released pending trial.  The client had been arrested and charged with first and second degree assault.  The client was a lifelong resident of Baltimore and had strong family ties to the area.   I was able to meet with his family prior to the hearing to discuss his background and the facts of the case.  His bail was set high, $100,000.00 for a first time offense by the commissioner.

We appeared before the District Court Judge in Towson and made a persuasive argument that allowed the client should be released on his own recognizance with the condition that he be allowed to participate in home monitoring.  We then were able to obtain the Court Order and took that over to the monitoring company where they were able to have the client released and placed on home monitoring pending the trial.

The home monitoring company that the Court usually uses in Baltimore County is Advantage Sentencing Alternative Programs, Inc. (ASAP). Their contact information is 410-832-1717 and are located at 309 E. Joppa Road, Towson, Maryland 21286.

• The individual facing the bail review is being held at the Towson Baltimore County Detention Center.
