    Colorado Criminal Law: Victim Representation in Colorado Domestic Violence Cases

    The Steinberg Colorado Criminal Defense Law Firm helps clients who have been accused of committing domestic-violence crimes against their family members. We also help victims who seek lenience on behalf of their family members.

    District Attorneys do not always heed the wishes of victims.

    Sometimes, over the alleged victims’ objections:

    District Attorneys prosecute family members.

    District Attorneys ask the Court to order “no contact” between family members and victims.

    District Attorneys refuse to drop cases after rehabilitation has occurred.

    I help victims have a say in the outcome of domestic-violence cases.  However, I never represent defendants and victims in the same case.

    Before domestic-violence cases are resolved, Courts routinely issue “temporary orders of protection” requiring the accused to stay away from the home, school, business, or place of employment of one or more family members.

    Violating a temporary order of protection can result in additional charges being filed. For example, a temporary order of protection might completely prohibit a husband from communicating with his wife.

    Under the circumstances, a call home by the husband to speak with his children could also result in additional criminal-contempt charges if the complainant happens to pick up the phone.

    Domestic-violence cases frequently involve false or exaggerated allegations.

    Charges often arise in emotionally-wrought situations; for example, where divorce is occurring. Intense turmoil sometimes inspires one family member to falsely accuse another, fueled by powerful motives such as anger, jealousy, or gaining the upper hand in a child-custody proceeding.

    Unfortunately, even false allegations give rise to orders of protection, causing defendants in domestic-violence cases to be separated from their children and removed from their homes, in cases that never should have been brought in the first place.

    Some Courts habitually issue orders of protection in situations where the “protected spouse” genuinely does not want to be protected. Here too, defendants in domestic-violence cases are unnecessarily separated from their families and removed from their homes.

    If you have been accused of domestic violence, you need a criminal-defense lawyer to navigate you through complex Criminal Court and Family Court proceedings, to fight your case from beginning to end.

    If you are the alleged victim of an act of domestic violence but do NOT want the case to move forward – I may also be able to help you if I do not already represent the accused.
