Your Defense Starts Here
Why Choose Path Forward Legal?
We understand the intricate details of Colorado’s domestic violence laws – one of the harshest in the country. It doesn’t matter what you’ve been charged with: we know that you deserve a strong defense. Whether it’s assault, harassment, stalking, or violation of a protection order, our attorneys have the knowledge and experience necessary to handle any situation.
But it’s not just about our legal knowledge. We also understand that domestic violence charges can be emotionally challenging. Our compassionate approach ensures we walk with you, offering support and understanding, at every step of the journey.
No one is as bad as the worst thing they’ve ever done. And just because you were accused, that doesn’t mean you’re guilty. Let us fight for you.
Domestic violence charges can have significant impacts – affecting your employment, housing, child custody rights, and more. But remember, a charge does not mean a conviction.
Possible Penalties
Because domestic violence is a sentencing enhancer, there is no set penalty range. You may face penalties like jail, probation, fines, and community service. If convicted, you will also have to compete mandatory domestic violence evaluation treatment.
The other consequences of a domestic violence conviction can be long-lasting. Under federal law, you may lose your gun rights for life. A restraining or protection order will also be in place during the probationary period after a conviction. That order can affect your employment, child visitation, and living situation.
