What Constitutes Domestic Violence in Colorado?

In Colorado, domestic violence isn't a standalone crime. It’s a label attached to other criminal offenses—such as assault, harassment, or destruction of property—when the alleged victim is a current or former intimate partner.

Immediate Consequences You May Face

• Mandatory arrest laws

• A criminal protection order against you

• Potential loss of custody or gun rights

• Social and professional repercussions

Common Defense Strategies We Use

1. False Allegations

Disputes during divorces or custody battles can lead to exaggerated or completely false accusations. We dig deep into motives, inconsistencies, and evidence gaps to challenge these claims.

2. Lack of Evidence

Prosecutors must prove the charges beyond a reasonable doubt. If there’s insufficient physical evidence or unreliable testimony, we’ll expose the weaknesses in the case.

3. Self-Defense

If you were defending yourself or someone else, we gather all relevant facts to assert your legal right to use reasonable force.

4. Violation of Your Rights

If your constitutional rights were violated—such as through an illegal search, seizure, or arrest—evidence may be suppressed, or charges dismissed.
