Common Overnight Charges We Handle
Why You Need an Overnight Arrest Lawyer
Rights Protection:
The first few hours following an overnight arrest are arguably the most dangerous for an unrepresented individual; a criminal defense attorney can help you avoid self-incrimination.
Arraignment Experience:
Our attorneys can argue for a reasonable bail amount or a release on personal recognizance at your first court appearance, so you don’t have to prepare your defense from jail.
Case Preparation:
Our defense has the best chance of success if we start securing witness statements and investigating the circumstances of your arrest sooner.
Honest Assessment:
We explain the charges and your legal options, removing the unnecessary legal jargon so you feel in control and can see a clear path forward.

The process can vary depending on your individual circumstances. If you are arrested overnight without a warrant, you may be released if the authorities decide there isn't enough evidence for a criminal complaint. For misdemeanors or petty offenses, you might also be released with a summons to appear in court if it's likely you will comply. However, anyone arrested for domestic violence must be taken into custody and cannot be released on the scene. C.R.S. 16-3-105
Contact usYes. If you are eligible for bond, the jail or detention center must provide you with information about the process, including your next court date, once bond is posted. In some cases, you may choose to stay in jail overnight if there are extenuating circumstances, like bad weather or no transportation. C.R.S. 16-4-102 For specific offenses like DUI or accidents causing injury, you must be brought before a judge promptly. C.R.S. 42-4-1705
Contact us
Bond must be set within 48 hours from the time you’re processed into jail after arrest. In many cases, a judge will set a bond amount prior to or shortly after your arrest. One exception is domestic violence cases, which require a no-bond hold until you can see a judge.
Common bonding options:
- • Personal recognizance bond — You pay nothing and promise to show up to all future court dates.
- • Surety bond — Pay a bondsman a non-returnable fee of 10–15% of the set bond to bail you out.
- • Cash-only bond — A friend or family member pays the full bond in cash or money order.
- • Property bond — In rare cases, the court or bondsman requires property as collateral for your release.
Once in overnight custody, you have the right to contact an attorney and a family member as soon as possible. This right is renewed if you are moved to another facility. C.R.S. 16-3-402 If you are not released, you must be brought before a judge without delay. Misdemeanors or petty offenses usually involve filing a complaint and receiving a copy at or before your arraignment. C.R.S. 16-2-112
Contact usYou should contact an attorney as soon as you’re given the opportunity to make a phone call. That way, they may be able to be present for interrogation, preventing you from making any incriminating statements. Your attorney will also be able to explain the charges and answer any questions you have ahead of your first hearing and about posting bond.
