Stalking is one of the more serious domestic violence criminal charges in Colorado law — a Class 5 felony with harsh consequences upon conviction. Penalties for a first offense can include a jail term of up to four years, with a two-year parole. A second conviction can double the sentence and add a year to the parole period.

Protecting the Rights of Domestic Violence Defendants for Almost 20 Years
Stalking can assume a number of different forms, such as:
- Repeated following of or approaching someone
- Threats issued through repeated communication with a person, or his or her associates
- Emotional distress caused by continuing unwanted contact or communication
Stalking often includes alleged contact with the friends and family of a victim — not just with the victim alone. Testimony against those accused of stalking can seem inconsistent, sound unreliable and prove difficult to substantiate in a court of law. I hold the prosecution to its burden of proof and introduce any evidence or eyewitness account that can support your side of the story.
Throughout the process, I maintain open lines of communication with you and make myself available to any questions and concerns you might have.
