Domestic Violence Cases

We each represent persons facing both felony and misdemeanor domestic violence charges in all metro area State and Municipal Courts. In Colorado, domestic violence is not a charge in and of itself, but a characterization of a wide variety of charges allegedly committed against an intimate, or formerly intimate, partner.  This is most frequently seen with Assault, Harassment, Stalking and property damage related charges, but can be seen in many other contexts.  No matter what the charge, the domestic violence, or "DV" tag, creates a separate set of issues that must be dealt with during the case.
