Domestic Violence Attorney in Denver or Castle Rock, Colorado

Protecting You from the Consequences of Domestic Violence Charges

Are you facing domestic violence charges? Come to the Law Office of Matthew D. Martin, P.C. in Denver or Castle Rock, Colorado. As a skilled criminal defense lawyer who has the experience of a prosecutor, I can effectively protect your rights and interests. Contact me today to discuss your legal concerns.

If the police come to your house following a domestic disturbance, as long as they have probable cause to believe that domestic violence occurred, someone is probably going to be arrested. The police will not take the time to consider the broader context of any single incident, or even truly separate guilt and innocence by considering matters such as self-defense. They make an instant judgment, and you may be left to face the consequences.

This is a problem. The fact is, domestic violence is often alleged as a way to get leverage in a divorce or child custody battle, or is raised irrationally during a heated argument. Once the police are involved though, the case is no longer in the control of you or your spouse.

If you have been accused of domestic violence in Colorado, call (303) 725-0017 today. I provide skilled criminal defense representation from the perspective of a former prosecuting attorney.

Even Domestic Violence Allegations Alone Can Have Serious Repercussions

Beyond the potential consequences of being convicted of domestic violence, your troubles are not over. After an arrest for domestic violence, you will be subject to a restraining order. If you violate this restraining order, even through something as simple as a consensual phone call, you will be re-arrested and receive another criminal charge for violating a restraining order.

Among the other consequences, with a domestic violence conviction on your record, you will be forbidden from carrying or owning firearms. For Colorado hunters, this can be devastating.
