Domestic Violence

Colorado Domestic Violence Criminal Lawyer

Harsh words between a husband and wife, a girlfriend and boyfriend or domestic partners are not uncommon. These words may lead to pushing, shoving or worse, even between people who have a love for each other. No one is immune to this crime and its harsh consequences.

Domestic violence is merely a label that attaches to ANY crime, when the government can establish that the crime was committed between two persons who have been sexually intimate, and the crime involves some element of coercion, control, punishment, intimidation, or revenge. It can involve animals, property or people. Of course, this definition also includes acts or threatened acts of violence.

While this crime label is very broad, so are its consequences. Under federal and state law, persons convicted of domestic violence are not able to possess firearms or pass security background checks. This can impact outdoor sports like hunting and careers that involve the use of firearms or high security.

We take domestic violence cases to trial if there is a reasonable chance of success, due to the harsh consequences of any plea. For this reason, we encourage anyone with exposure to charges to contact us early, and to preserve the relationship between them and their alleged victim. We also caution our clients that are married or cohabitating that if they are arrested, it is common for their spouse to receive custody of children, to obtain a no-contact order, and to drain bank accounts. Care and immediate consultation with one of our attorneys can reduce your losses early in a case of this type.

We are criminal defense lawyers by trade, and that is all that we do. We don't "dabble in divorce." Why should you employ a family law attorney who dabbles in criminal defense to handle your domestic violence charges?

At the O’Malley Law Office, we often structure non-triable criminal cases so that our clients remain eligible for firearms possession or security clearances. However, this is a difficult process, since by law in Colorado the District Attorney cannot plead a domestic violence case to a non-domestic violence plea. Other consequences might include ineligibility for employment with employers conducting security clearances.

In Colorado, there is a mandatory sentence structure for domestic violence convictions or pleas, which involves defendant paid and participation in 36 weeks of classes, evaluations and recommended treatment.
