You had an argument with your significant other, someone called the police, and now one of you is arrested and in jail. As an attorney at Liggett, Smith & Johnson, P.C., I have seen this happen many times. Law enforcement officers are required to arrest an individual on domestic violence investigations if the officer reasonably believes a crime was committed. You need to know that there are serious consequences for domestic violence crimes.
I have been assisting my clients for many years with many domestic violence charges, including:
- Domestic abuse/domestic assault
- Assault and battery
- Spousal abuse
- False accusations of many charges
Take action now to build a solid defense. You can protect your rights even before you are charged. Call 970-279-1968 or contact my Colorado law firm for a free consultation with an experienced Fort Collins domestic violence attorney.
Wellington Restraining Order Attorney
Charges stemming from domestic violence complaints, such as assault (in some jurisdictions called assault and battery) and harassment are taken very seriously in Colorado. Unlike other misdemeanor charges, an individual arrested and charged with a domestic violence offense is required to be jailed, go before a judge and post a bail bond before being released. As a condition of the bail bond, a no-contact order is issued.
This restraining order cannot be revoked or rescinded without notification to the victim and a court hearing. I will be by your side to aggressively negotiate with the prosecution and, if circumstances call for it, litigate your case in court. I will do whatever it takes to protect your rights.
