Hard Hitting New Britain Bail Bonds

Quick answer

What happens if you miss court in Connecticut?

If someone misses a court date in Connecticut, the judge can issue a re-arrest warrant, order the existing bond forfeited and add a separate failure to appear charge. A new bail amount is usually set. A licensed bail agent can post a new bond for the regulated premium and help plan a voluntary surrender so the person is released faster.

Understanding the charge

Failure to Appear Charges in Connecticut

Connecticut treats missing court seriously. Under the Penal Code, failure to appear in the first degree applies when the original charge is a felony, and failure to appear in the second degree applies to misdemeanor cases. These are new criminal charges on top of the original case.

When a court date is missed, the judge usually orders a re-arrest warrant and may call the existing bond. Bail on the warrant is often higher than before. The best step is to act quickly: talk to a defense attorney, arrange a new bond with us and plan a voluntary surrender. Turning yourself in with a bond ready shows the court good faith and often means release the same day.
