What is the bail amount for assault charges in Connecticut?

There is no fixed schedule. Bail is set at arraignment by a judge or bail commissioner, on the degree charged under C.G.S. sectionsection 53a-59 to 53a-61, the criminal record and flight risk — so a third-degree misdemeanor and a first-degree felony sit far apart. Our bail bond calculator shows the statutory premium once the amount is set.

What are the penalties for assault in Connecticut?

Assault in the third degree (section 53a-61) is a class A misdemeanor. Assault in the second degree (section 53a-60) is a class D felony, or a class C felony where the offense resulted in serious physical injury. Assault in the first degree (section 53a-59) is a class B felony carrying one to twenty years, of which five years may not be suspended or reduced.

How quickly can a bond be posted for assault in Connecticut?

Liza Davis Bail Bonds posts assault bonds 24 hours a day across every Connecticut county. Most bonds are posted within one to four hours of your call, depending on the holding facility and the charge level.

Which Connecticut courthouse handles assault arraignments?

Assault arraignments are heard at the geographical area courthouse covering the town of arrest, or in the Judicial District for higher-level felonies. The geographical area courts run from GA-1 at Stamford to GA-23 at New Haven — see the Connecticut courthouse directory for the court that covers your town.

Are payment plans available for assault bail bonds?

Yes — weekly, bi-weekly and monthly, interest free. Connecticut requires a down payment of at least 35% of the premium before a plan can be written (C.G.S. section 38a-660c), with the balance on a promissory note payable within fifteen months. We build the schedule around your income inside that window. See how our payment plans work.

Bail Bonds for Assault: Key Details

If charged with assault - regardless of third-degree status - plan on getting booked and taken into custody while your loved one, likely, is oblivious to the whole sequence of events. You may not have any knowledge as to what the bail amount is since Connecticut does not follow a standard bail procedure for assault cases. No matter if your family tries to talk to those involved in the bail process, they may be passing along wrong numbers and missing necessary deadlines not knowing how to contact a bondsman familiar with the courthouses.

Becoming familiar with the legal aspects of the law can make a world of difference when it comes to the kind of consequences your loved one's possible conviction will entail. All the paperwork involved in getting someone a bail bond is completed through a simple phone call, e-mail, with no need for personal appearance.

We've posted assault bonds in every Connecticut county since 2007. GA-2 at Bridgeport, GA-14 at Hartford, GA-19 at Rockville, GA-23 at New Haven, and the rest of the geographical area courthouses. Somebody here answers the phone every hour of the day.

Specifics of the Law

Third degree assault is a class A misdemeanor - and in accordance with subdivision (a)(3), if found guilty, a defendant may spend the next 12 months behind bars.
Second-degree assault is classified as a class D felony, which means it can result in a felony charge in case someone suffers from serious injuries as a result of the act.
First-degree assault is known as a class B felony, which allows for a longer prison term of one to since 2007. Out of that time, the defendant will serve at least five years in jail without an opportunity for early release, while in certain cases - namely under subsection (b)(2) - even ten years cannot be reduced.
Those non-suspendable minimums are why a first-degree charge gets handled differently from the first phone call, and why the arraignment carries more weight than the paperwork does.
Arraignment is usually conducted on the day after the arrest, at the courthouse corresponding to the incident.
As soon as bail conditions are established, the bondsman can act without waiting for the arraignment process to be completed. Our agent places it at the jail or the courthouse, depending on which facility has the detained individual.

How an Assault Bond Gets Posted

1. Arrest and booking. The defendant is processed at the arresting town's police department. Prints, photograph, entry into the state system. If the hold runs longer, the transfer goes to a state correctional centre.
2. Bail is set. A bail commissioner or a judge sets the bond within 24 hours. How serious the charge is, what the record looks like, whether they think the person comes back.
3. Call Liza Davis, (860) 818-7078. We answer around the clock. Give us the defendant's name, the facility and the charge, and we'll take it from there.
4. Sign the agreement. All of it by phone or encrypted e-signature, and our bail bond forms are online. Nobody has to come to an office.
5. The bond is posted. Our agent posts it at the holding facility or the courthouse, whichever one has the person, and release processing starts from there.
