Immigration
UWhether you find yourself needing to post bail or you're offering assistance to a friend or loved one, the process is undoubtedly stressful for everyone involved. If you find yourself dealing with the United States Homeland Security Department of Immigration as a part of criminal charges, it can be especially nerve-racking given the unique situation. Knowing how immigration bail bonds work is crucial to ensuring you can handle the process as effectively as possible.
Disorderly Conduct
If you or a loved one have recently been charged with disorderly conduct, in the state of Connecticut, you often have the option to post bail. When you post bail, you're essentially making a financial commitment to the judge that you will return for future court hearings and follow all orders given by the judge. Given that many offenders consider bail to be a serious financial commitment, it is usually an effective deterrent for failing to return to court.
Failure to Appear
Imagine this: you or a loved one were just charged with a crime, and after reviewing your case, the judge decides to grant you the ability to post bail. Because you are unable to afford the bail, you request the service of a bail bond firm like Capitol Bail Bonds to help you out in your situation of need. For a small fee, we post bond so that you can return home.
Felony
Given the severity of a felony charge, if you or loved one finds yourself being charged with a felony, the last thing you want to worry about is figuring out how you can afford your bail if granted. By definition, a felony is a crime that is punishable with a minimum of at least one year of jail and often significant fines. Felony crimes range from tax evasion to theft of over 500 dollars, possession of narcotics, homicide, and other serious crimes. Since these charges can have a life-changing impact, it's a good idea to post bail so you can work on your legal options in the comfort of your home. Even the most minor of felonies will often include heavy fines in addition to the required jail time.
Larceny and Theft
If you or a loved one have recently been charged with theft or larceny, it's important to understand your current situation so you can take appropriate action. The severity of your charges will ultimately determine the bail the judge decides is fair for your specific case. For example, if you're caught shoplifting a small item or two, your bail will be significantly less than if you are caught stealing higher-priced items.
Marijuana
While the recreational use of marijuana continues to be illegal under Connecticut state law, many states across the country are working to evolve their policy on the use and possession of marijuana. Although marijuana use has been decriminalized, that does not mean a complete lack of consequences for recreational use. As of right now, the possession of a small amount of marijuana (half an ounce or less) is considered to be a minor offense and is often treated as an infraction accompanied by a small fine.
Juvenile
In the United States legal system, there's a big difference between how an adult and a minor are processed in the court of law. If you are charged with a crime as a minor, you will often face significantly less punishment and/or fines depending on the nature of your crime. However, as an adult, you will often be held accountable to the fullest extent of the law. It's important to be aware of the process if you do find yourself in the juvenile court system. Here are a few of the main differences between juvenile and adult court. By definition, a felony is a crime that is punishable with a minimum of at least one year of jail and often significant fines. Felony crimes range from tax evasion to theft of over 500 dollars, possession of narcotics, homicide, and other serious crimes. Since these charges can have a life-changing impact, it's a good idea to post bail so you can work on your legal options in the comfort of your home. Even the most minor of felonies will often include heavy fines in addition to the required jail time.
Parole Violation
When a prisoner is released from prison on parole, they will often be required to have a parole bond. As with bail in standard charges, parole bonds ensure that the prisoner out on bond will continue to follow all defined requirements from the individual's prison sentence. If you can get out on parole, you must abide by all set terms, and breaking those terms can result in further criminal charges and or an increased sentence. Before granting parole, the judge overlooking your case will take into consideration a wide range of factors. Generally speaking, prisoners who have displayed good behavior will be considered for parole if their original crime was not violent or a felony.
Sex Crime
From urinating in a public area to accusations of something more severe like sexual assault, sex crimes are undoubtedly a serious charge to be facing. Worst yet, these cases are often lengthy and financially burdensome and can have long-lasting consequences for the defendant. Though there is a wide range of crimes that fall under the sex crime definition, it's important to be aware of what is considered a sex crime in the state of Connecticut.
