DUI bail bonds

No matter what state you are in or what time of day it is, driving while intoxicated is always considered to be a serious offense. In Connecticut, a DUI can either be classified as a major or minor offense. If it is the suspect's first offense, it will be deemed a misdemeanor. If this has been the second or third time the driver has been caught in this state while operating a vehicle under the influence within the last decade, the crime will be classified as a felony. This means that if your loved one has been accused of a DUI, they were driving with a BAC of 0.8 or above and thereby illegally intoxicated.

A major DUI offense is one example of a charge where the bail will likely not be determined by a bail schedule. Instead, a judge will likely take a look at the case personally. He or she will look to learn about and understand the situation that occurred. They will then ask themselves the following questions before coming up with a bail amount that they feel is suitable for the accused charges:

THE COST OF DUI BAIL BONDS

When it comes to DUI (Driving Under the Influence) arrests, the cost of bail bonds can vary depending on several factors. Typically, the bail amount for DUI charges in CT can range from $500 to $10,000. It's important to note that the majority of DUI charges are considered misdemeanors. However, the specific bail amount set by the court can depend on various factors, such as the individual's prior criminal record, the severity of the offense, and any additional circumstances surrounding the incident. Bail bonds are typically a percentage of the total bail amount, usually around 10%, which means that the cost of a DUI bail bond will vary proportionally based on the bail amount set by the court.
