Legal Question in Legal Ethics in Maryland

Not only should the bailbondsman have know, he probably did know. He may deny it, but he did you dirty. Guess who that bailbondsman is hoping you will call when you want to get your son out the second time? That's right, him. Now, instead of getting a fee off one bond, he'll get two. You can demand your money back, but he is not legally required to give it to you. Unless you signed an agreement with him that states that it's his responsibility to check for outstanding warrants prior to providing the bond, you are out of luck. His deal was to help you get your son out. He did that. He will simply argue that checking outstanding warrants for you isnt in his job description. He'll also say that he can't predict what the police were going or not going to do (after all, there was no guarantee your son was going to get picked up on the outstanding warrant right away) and that it's not his problem if there were other warrants out there. In fact, if he were smart, he would turn it around on your son who is the real party at fault here -------> why would your son let you bond him out knowing that he had outstanding warrants that were going to land him right back, causing you to lose your $1200? There's no nice way to say this, but your son is the real jerk here.

Best of luck.*****The above is for informational purposes only and does not create an attorney-client privilege.*****
