Arrests for domestic violence in Colorado are usually accompanied by the imposition of some sort of protective order or restraining order. Any violation of the terms of one of these orders can result in heavy penalties, such as jail and fines.
When a false allegation of child abuse, menacing, harassment or stalking interrupts your life and threatens your rights, a criminal defense attorney with unique insights into domestic violence charges can start safeguarding your interests right away.

Accused of Violating Orders of Protection?
A restraining order can have a number of negative impacts on your rights and privileges, including:
- You cannot contact the complainant person in any way, including through a third party
- You cannot own a weapon or hunting license
- You are prevented from working at certain jobs
- You are denied security clearance
- You may not return home to see your children
- Your immigration status could change
- Your custody and visitation rights may be affected in a pending divorce
Amazing as it sounds, a person filing for a restraining order in Colorado does not have to provide any evidence for what he or she is doing, other than the sworn statement that they feel threatened. I work hard to accumulate and reveal clear evidence that can counter this accusation, strive for the dismissal of your temporary restraining order and help you to reclaim your life.
