Colorado Protection Order Lawyer Who Knows the Stakes
Under Colorado law, once the police are called for alleged domestic abuse, the police will come to your home and will invariably make an arrest. In many cases, that arrest will turn into criminal charges and a civil protection order/criminal protection order. You may be prohibited from returning home and, if you have children, it may affect your ability to see them. Additionally, if a permanent restraining order is imposed, your rights to own and possess weapons will be severely restricted.
It is critical to consult an experienced lawyer as early on in your case as possible in order to provide yourself with the most protection and increase your chances for a more favorable result.
