What Are Assault Bail Bonds?
Assault bail bonds are surety bonds that secure the release of someone charged with assault in Connecticut. A licensed bail bondsman guarantees the full bail to the court for a state-regulated premium, and the defendant promises to attend every court date and follow any release conditions.
Assault arrests often happen suddenly, late at night and in emotionally charged situations. Easy Bail Bonds LLC writes assault bail bonds for every degree of the charge, from a third degree misdemeanor to a first degree felony, and our agents explain exactly what the court expects before anyone signs.
Assault Charges in Connecticut by Degree
Connecticut divides assault into three main degrees under the Connecticut General Statutes, Chapter 952. The degree affects the bail amount, the premium and the court process for assault bail bonds.
Assault in the First Degree
Class B felony · C.G.S. § 53a-59
Generally involves intentionally causing serious physical injury, often with a deadly weapon or dangerous instrument. Some forms carry a mandatory minimum sentence that cannot be suspended.
Maximum penalty: up to 20 years in prison
Assault in the Second Degree
Class D felony (Class C in some cases) · C.G.S. § 53a-60
Can involve causing serious physical injury, causing injury with a weapon or dangerous instrument, or other specific acts listed in the statute.
Maximum penalty: up to 5 years in prison for a Class D felony
Assault in the Third Degree
Class A misdemeanor · C.G.S. § 53a-61
The most common assault charge. It usually involves intentionally or recklessly causing physical injury to another person.
Maximum penalty: up to 1 year in jail and a $2,000 fine
Related charges include assault of an elderly, blind, disabled or pregnant person, assault of public safety personnel and strangulation, which Connecticut charges as a separate felony. We post assault bail bonds for all of these offenses.
How Bail Is Set for an Assault Arrest
Police set an initial bond after booking. If it is not posted, the judge reviews bail at arraignment, usually the next court day. When deciding the amount, police and judges commonly consider:
- The degree of the charge and how serious the injuries are
- Whether a weapon or dangerous instrument was involved
- The defendant’s criminal record and court history
- Ties to the community, such as work, family and residence
- Safety of the alleged victim and any need for a protective order
- The risk that the defendant might miss court
Assault Charges and Family Violence Cases
When an assault involves a family or household member, Connecticut treats it as a family violence case. The defendant usually goes before a judge on the next court day, and the court often issues a protective order that limits or bans contact with the alleged victim. Assault bail bonds in these cases are posted after the judge sets bail and conditions.
Release conditions must be followed exactly. Violating a protective order is a separate crime that can lead to a new arrest. Learn more about domestic violence bail bonds.
How Much Do Assault Bail Bonds Cost?
The premium for assault bail bonds follows state-approved rates overseen by the Connecticut Insurance Department: up to 10% of the first $5,000 of the bond and up to 7% of the amount above $5,000. Examples:
$2,500 bond
Typical for some third degree cases
$25,000 bond
$500 + 7% of $20,000
$100,000 bond
$500 + 7% of $95,000
The premium is non-refundable. Larger felony assault bail bonds may also require collateral or an additional co-signer, which we explain before anything is signed.

Release Conditions After an Assault Arrest
Judges often attach conditions to assault bail bonds. Common examples include:
- Protective or no-contact orders that limit contact with the alleged victim
- Surrender of firearms while a protective order is in effect
- Stay-away orders for a home, workplace or school
- Check-ins or programs ordered by the court
- Travel limits that restrict leaving the state
A defense attorney can explain each condition and ask the court to modify it. If a court date is missed, read about failure to appear bail bonds and call us right away.

What to Do If a Loved One Is Arrested for Assault
The first hours after an assault arrest matter. These steps help families move quickly and protect the case:
- Find out where they are held. Ask which police department or State Police troop made the arrest.
- Write down the details. Full name, date of birth, charges and any booking number.
- Avoid discussing the incident. Calls from police stations and jails are often recorded.
- Do not contact the alleged victim on the defendant’s behalf if a protective order may apply.
- Call a defense attorney. A lawyer can ask the judge to lower bail or change conditions.
- Call a licensed bail bondsman. We confirm the bond and start the paperwork right away.
Common Mistakes to Avoid After an Assault Arrest
Small mistakes can make an assault case harder or put release at risk. Families most often run into trouble when they:
- Wait until morning to call, losing hours when a police bond could have been posted overnight.
- Let the defendant contact the alleged victim, which can violate a protective order and lead to a new arrest.
- Post social media comments about the incident, which can be used as evidence.
- Miss a court date or check-in because the paperwork was not read carefully.
- Work with an unlicensed or out-of-state service that cannot post bonds in Connecticut courts.

Assault Bail Bonds FAQ
How much is bail for an assault charge in Connecticut?
There is no fixed amount. Bail depends on the degree of assault, the injuries involved, any weapon, criminal history and the risk of missing court. Third degree charges often carry lower bail, while first degree charges can carry very high bail.
How much do assault bail bonds cost?
The premium follows state-approved rates: up to 10% of the first $5,000 of the bond and up to 7% of the amount above that. For example, a $25,000 assault bond has a premium of $1,900.
Can I get out of jail the same day after an assault arrest?
Often, yes. If the police set a bond and it is posted at the station, release can happen within hours. Family violence cases usually go to court the next court day first.
Is assault a felony in Connecticut?
First and second degree assault are felonies. Third degree assault is a Class A misdemeanor.
Do you post bonds for first degree assault?
Yes. We handle large felony assault bail bonds and explain any collateral or co-signer requirements before you sign.
What if the assault charge involves a family member?
It is handled as a family violence case. The defendant usually appears in court the next court day, and a protective order is common. Assault bail bonds are posted after the judge sets bail and conditions.
Can the alleged victim help bail someone out?
Sometimes, but if a protective or no-contact order is in place, contact between the parties may be prohibited. Ask a defense attorney before acting.
Will I lose the premium if the charges are dropped?
Yes. The premium is earned when the bond is posted and is not refunded, but any collateral is returned once the case closes.
What happens if the defendant violates a protective order while on bond?
Violating a protective order is a separate crime and can lead to a new arrest and revocation of release. Every condition must be followed exactly.
Do you provide assault bail bonds outside Tolland County?
Yes. We post assault bail bonds in all 8 Connecticut counties, from Hartford and New Haven to New London and Fairfield.
Can bail be denied for an assault charge?
Connecticut generally allows bail, but for very serious assaults a judge may set a high amount or strict conditions. A defense attorney can argue for a lower bond at arraignment.
Does a protective order affect the bail bond?
Yes. The protective order becomes a condition of release. If it is violated, the defendant can be arrested again and the court may revoke release.
Can you help with an assault arrest at UConn or another campus?
Yes. Arrests by campus police follow the same bail process, and we can post the bond at the station or court handling the case.
How long does an assault case usually take in Connecticut?
It varies. Some third degree cases resolve in a few court dates, while felony cases can take many months. The bond stays in place until the case is closed, so the defendant must keep attending court.
Can the defendant go back home after release?
It depends on the conditions. If a protective order covers a shared home, the defendant may have to stay somewhere else until the court changes the order.
What should the co-signer know before signing?
The co-signer is responsible for helping the defendant attend every court date. We walk through the agreement, any collateral and what happens if a date is missed before anything is signed.
