Domestic Violence is a hot button topic in law enforcement. Almost every District Attorney has prioritized the prosecution of domestic violence. They seek out federal grants to hire victim advocates and prosecutors who work specifically on these issues. Many of the front range District Attorneys "fast track" these cases. The desire is to gain a conviction quickly. And being convicted on a domestic violence crime can have serious ramifications. Not only will you have to attend classes and face potential jail and/or prison time, depending on the type of crime, you will lose the right to own or possess firearms under federal law.
Unfortunately, many charges of domestic violence stem from argument that got heated but where nobody was hurt or threatened. Instead, the Police were called and then someone went to jail. Then, the automatic Criminal Order of Protection went into place and the two "parties" may not be able to communicate or see each other without the charged person facing a contempt citation and criminal charges.
These type of case cry out for an aggressive attorney who will be your voice in Court. The District Attorney isn't going to be your voice. That is why you need your own Colorado Criminal Defense Attorney.
