Why Do You Need a Lawyer?

Unlike a civil case, any person facing a criminal charge has a constitutional right to an attorney in most cases. Domestic violence charges can carry serious criminal penalties as well a life-long stigma and ramifications in one’s personal and professional life. A person facing domestic violence charges in Denver requires an experienced defense lawyer that can effectively protect their rights and mount a robust defense.

Domestic Violence Laws in Colorado

Colorado law addresses domestic violence in C.R.S. 18-6-800.3, among other statutes. If someone commits a crime of domestic violence, such as a physical assault of a domestic partner, the following punitive measures may apply:

• The accused may have to complete a Domestic Violence Treatment program.
• The courts may impose a term of prison, jail, or house arrest.
• Any prior domestic violence convictions may cause a person to face Class 5 felony charges as a habitual domestic violence offender, which carries the potential for prison time.
  Misdemeanor and felony charges of domestic violence will affect the defendant’s ability to purchase and possess firearms.
• The additional penalties will depend on the type of offense that occurs – for example, felony assault will carry different punishments than harassment.
• A defendant may lose physical custody of any minor children.

Preparing Your Domestic Violence Defense

Unfortunately, many defendants facing domestic violence charges do not understand the full implications a conviction can have. Even misdemeanor offenses can affect a person’s ability to get a job, obtain housing, volunteer for a child’s extracurricular and school-sponsored activities, and more. It’s important for those facing domestic violence convictions to understand the nature of these charges and secure quality legal representation. Even so-called “minor” charges can carry lifelong consequences. You need a criminal defense attorney who can navigate the confusing legal framework, investigate the history of the relationship and any mitigating factors, and effectively assert any applicable defenses.
