Bail or Bond in Maryland allows people who have been arrested in Maryland to remain out of jail while waiting for trial.  It can be paid by friends, relatives or the person accused of a crime in Maryland.

Many people who are not willing or able to come up with bail money on their own seek the services of bail bondsmen, who post (pay) bail for a fee. The bail bond fee in Maryland is typically about 10 percent of the total bail amount.  The bail fee can vary depending on the circumstances of the crime and the persona charged..  In Maryland, the best bail bondsmen require a minimum of 1% of the total bail to be paid up front and  The bail bonds company in Maryland will explain the process and assist you with the legal requirements. If you have a legal bail question, contact our office 24/7 at 410.288.2900 for help.

Bail is a right protected by the U.S. Constitution as well as the Maryland Constitution. It is a "surety bond" (usually in the form of cash) that the court holds to ensure that the person accused of a crime shows up for required court appearances.

Most people arrested in Maryland have the opportunity to "post bail."  Posting bail allows the accused to remain free until trial and any future hearings. After a person has been arrested and completed the booking process, the individual appears before a commissioner for a bail to be set.  In Baltimore County, the person arrested then appears before a judge in the Towson District Court to determine the amount of bail.  However, as soon as a bail is set by a commissioner, a person can "post bail" and be released.  That person does not have to wait for a bail review hearing to "make bail" in Maryland.

If the crime is relatively minor in Maryland, the person has no prior record, or if the District Court Judge believes that the accused is unlikely to flee, he may be released "on his own recognizance (ROR)." In this case, no bail is required in Maryland and the person must appear for trial.

If you are in need of a bail lawyer in Maryland, contact our office immediately at 410.288.2900.  The longer you wait, the longer the loved one will spend incarcerated pending their trial.  In Maryland District Court cases are set months after the arrest and Circuit Court could be up to six months before trial.

Cash Bail
A percentage may be posted for cash bonds. All bonds that are set at two thousand, five hundred dollars ($2,500.) or less may be posted with a cash deposit of ten percent (10%). However, the person posting cash bail is liable for the full amount.   If the bail is set above the $2500.00, then we would suggest you call a bail bondsman.  If you qualify, the bail companies that we use required a minimum of 1% down.   So if the Defendant has a $100,000.00 bail then you would only be required to put down $1,000.00 to have them released. If the Defendant appears for trial or the charges are disposed of before trial, the amount posted will be refunded. If the Defendant do not appear, all cash posted will be forfeited and the full amount of bail becomes due to the Court.

Property Bail
Property (e.g. land or home) in Maryland may be used to post bail, provided that the net equity in the property meets or exceeds the amount of bail.  To determine net equity deduct any liens, mortgages or deeds of trust, and ground rent, capitalized at 6 percent, from the assessed value of the property. 

When posting property, a Defendant, their family or friends need to present tax bills, assessment notices, copies of a recorded deed or other public records. Each person whose name appears on the tax bill must sign the form, unless a power of attorney has been executed by one or both parties authorizing another signature.

Only a clerk of the court may accept intangible assets; a commissioner may not. Present the required documents to a clerk at the court location where the case is pending.

Credit and Debit Cards
Bail may be charged on certain credit and debit cards.  Although a commissioner or clerk accepts the card, an independent company processes the charge.  The charge includes the amount of the bail and a service fee. These charges will appear on your next credit or debit card statement. The card and personal identification must be produced in person at the time of posting bail. (Contact a District Court commissioner or clerk for information on cards accepted and the fees charged.)
