Defense Against Domestic Violence Charges in the Metro Denver Area
If you have been accused of domestic violence, it’s not usual to feel angry, upset, or betrayed. The truth is that most domestic violence accusations are based on lies or exaggerated versions of truth. Furthermore, once the police have been notified of a domestic violence incident, little can be done to prevent an arrest. At this point, the best thing you can do to protect your rights and minimize the damage to your reputation is to contact an experienced Denver domestic violence defense lawyer.
Frankly, many experienced criminal justice professionals in Colorado believe that given the way the law is written, that the first person to pick up the phone and call police will often insure that the other party (spouse/boyfriend/girlfriend) will be arrested whether or not the initial allegations made over the phone are true. This is why someone charged with domestic violence needs an experienced domestic violence attorney to find the true evidence which will exonerate you.
In reality, and in most Colorado jurisdictions, once the police arrest you on a domestic violence charge, you will be taken to jail and held there without bond until you are put through a domestic violence "FAST-TRACK" process. The D.V. - FAST-TRACK was designed by prosecutors and special interest groups to coerce a defendant (almost always a male defendant) to feel pressured into pleading guilty immediately without ever having the chance to speak to an attorney.

A domestic violence conviction will result in the following penalties: up to two years in jail, one or more years of probation, 36-weeks of domestic violence counseling, and a court-issued protection order that prohibits you from contacting or coming within a certain distance of the victim. If you were charged with felony domestic violence, you may also face time in the state prison.
