Boulder Domestic Violence Lawyer
Defending Against Domestic Violence Charges in Colorado
In Colorado, domestic violence carries a number of serious, lasting consequences (C.R.S. § 18-6-801). If not handled properly, they can result in additional legal problems for the accused. After an individual is arrested for domestic violence, they are automatically prevented from contacting the alleged victim with a mandatory restraining order.
Domestic violence charges can have a great impact on your future; they can impact your employment, your ability to obtain housing, your relationships with children and other family members, and your overall quality of life. Without competent legal representation, you stand to lose much more than just your freedom.
Any contact, including third-party contact with the accuser, can result in further consequences. Additionally, because prosecutors will often pursue these cases even after the accuser drops charges, it's important that you understand your rights.
