    FAILURE-TO-APPEAR BAIL BONDS SERVICE IN CT

    Hamden, CT Bail Bonds for Failure-to-Appear Charges

    After an individual has been arrested and is released on bail, they must show up for trail on their court date. At this trial, the accused will be officially charged for the crime that they were arrested for. It is imperative that your loved one show up to court on the set date so as not to suffer further consequences. At Budget Bail Bonds, we know what steps to take should that happen.

    Determining the Bail Bond Amount

    Failure to appear bail bonds are different than other types of bonds, because the accused has gone through the process once already. This time around, the defendant has neglected to attend their trail on their court date, meaning that several factors come into play when determining the bail bond amount. These factors include:

    Age of the suspect

    The original charge and level of severity of the crime

    Reason that the court date was missed

    Past contributions the accused has made to the community

    Whether the suspect has skipped court dates in the past

    A Familiar Process

    Although there are different factors that determine the amount of a failure to appear bond, the process of receiving a bail bond is pretty similar. Since you have already gone through the process of getting the accused a bail bond once, before they missed their court date, this procedure will look familiar:

    Your bail bond company of choice will collect the necessary information from you about your loved one, and will educate you one what to expect. This is the time for you to ask any questions you may have.

    You’ll be given a number of forms to fill out to continue the process. These forms will include the co-signer agreement and payment information, among others.

    Once the paperwork is complete and verified, your loved one will be released to you until their next scheduled court date.

    HOW MUCH IS BAIL FOR FAILURE TO APPEAR CHARGES IN CONNECTICUT?

    In Connecticut, the bail amount for failure to appear in court can vary based on the circumstances surrounding the failure to appear as well as the gravity of the initial charges. Failure to appear for a felony charge is itself considered a felony and tends to incur a higher bail amount compared to failing to appear for a misdemeanor charge, which is treated as a misdemeanor. Typically, bail amounts can start from a few hundred dollars for misdemeanors and can reach into the thousands or more for felony cases. To receive accurate and up-to-date information, reaching out to a team member at Budget Bail Bonds will be your best course of action. Always remember that the exact bail amount is determined by the court.

    Frequently Asked Failure-to-Appear Bond Questions

    • What happens if I fail to appear in court?

      If you fail to appear in court on your scheduled date, the judge may issue a bench warrant for your arrest. This means law enforcement can arrest you at any time, and your bail may be forfeited.

    • Can I reschedule my court date if I know I can’t make it?

      Yes, if you know in advance that you cannot attend your court date, you should contact your attorney or the court as soon as possible to request a continuance or reschedule. Doing so may prevent a failure-to-appear warrant from being issued.

    • What should I do if a bench warrant has been issued for my failure to appear?

      If a bench warrant has been issued, you should contact your bail bondsman and attorney immediately. They can help you navigate the situation and advise you on the best steps to take, which may include surrendering to the court.

    • Can I still avoid jail time after failing to appear?

      It may be possible to avoid jail time if you act quickly. Contacting the court and your attorney to explain your absence and demonstrate that it was not intentional can sometimes lead to the bench warrant being recalled or a new court date being set.
