District attorneys and Colorado police often charge our Colorado clients with third-degree criminal trespass when there are allegations that our client has gone onto someone’s property (not inside someone’s house) without permission. Whatever the situation, it is important that you contact a full-time criminal defense lawyer in Denver, Colorado, and nearby in Arapahoe County, Douglas County, Jefferson County, and Adams County, right away.

C.R.S. 18-4-504, third-degree criminal trespass is either a petty offense or a class 5 felony in Colorado. Felonies are punishable by a sentence to the Colorado Department of Corrections. Petty offenses are punishable in Colorado by up to 10 days in county jail in Denver, Colorado, Arapahoe County, Douglas County, Jefferson County, Weld County, Larimer County, and Adams County. Colorado attorneys working exclusively with criminal matters can minimize your chance of going to prison or jail. Other important elements of this criminal offense are that the person charged unlawfully enters or remains in or upon the premises of another. The classification of the premises and the purpose of the trespass can also be important for your lawyer’s evaluation of your case.
