Assault & Battery & Child Abuse

Denver Assault and Battery and Child Abuse Lawyers

Colorado domestic violence laws allow for assault and battery and even harassment charges to be filed due simply to raised voices, verbal threats and incidental contact. Therefore, it is not a surprise that charges of assault and battery are very common in the state of Colorado.

Charges and convictions for assault and battery can lead to many problematic consequences. Domestic violence charges lead to an automatic restraining order for the accused. Charges can also lead to restrictions on gun ownership and effect your Second Amendment rights, permanent protection orders, restricted visitation rights and, of course, fines, jail time and a criminal record.
