Domestic Violence and Criminal Defense Attorneys
In many jurisdictions around Colorado and around the country, if police are called to a domestic situation, an arrest is virtually required, even if both the alleged suspect and the alleged victim deny that any violence has occurred. New laws and new initiatives have lowered the tolerance for even the appearance of perceived domestic violence, and arrests can and have been made for little more than an argument between spouses.
An unfortunate fact is that police officers are not only unlikely to be held liable if they arrest you without adequate cause, but are potentially open to liability and even punishment if they choose not to arrest.
When you are facing domestic violence charges, even for as little as using harsh language against a spouse or domestic partner, consequences include:
- Jail time
- Probation
- Domestic violence/abuse counseling
- Anger management classes
- Loss of rights such as carrying a firearm
- Restraining and protective orders that may require you to leave your home and not be able to see your children unsupervised
The lawyers at Cross & Liechty P.C. can work closely with you to understand the unique situation that leads to your arrest and evaluate your case to build a strategy of defense. Often we can convince prosecutors when they have no merit to their case to drop or seriously reduce the charges, but if we have to go to court then you can rely on our proven ability based on the experience of hundreds of trials.
