Denver Domestic Violence Lawyer

Protecting Your Rights in Denver, Vail & Steamboat Springs

Domestic violence is a label that can be applied to a variety of serious charges, making them even more serious and bringing with it a tangle of other issues, including restraining orders. Being convicted can result in a variety of penalties, not the least of which is a criminal record that could impact employment opportunities.

At the Denver office of Feldmann Nagel, LLC, we take domestic violence crime charges seriously, fighting for the rights and freedom of people who have been accused of this crime. In these cases, as in all others, those accused are innocent until proven guilty. The challenge is to maintain the innocence of the people we represent. That's a challenge we are dedicated to meeting. When you find yourself arrested on such a charge, contact a Denver domestic violence attorney from our firm immediately.

Domestic violence is not a separate criminal charge. It is a label that can be applied to a variety of serious charges, such as assault, harassment, stalking, criminal mischief and even homicide. This label enhances the seriousness of these already serious charges.

Domestic violence charges stem most commonly from allegations of spousal abuse. They can also come from allegations of child abuse. Technically, these charges can be the result of any alleged dispute that takes place between two people who have a domestic relationship, meaning that even roommates who get in a fight can be charged with this crime and have to deal with the potential stigma that comes along with it.

Defending Domestic Violence Charges

The unique circumstances of each case impacts how it will be handled. In some cases, minimizing the impact of domestic violence charges through negotiation may be preferred over a courtroom battle. In these cases, we focus our efforts on working with the opposition to get the best possible result for our clients.

The opposition takes these charges very seriously, so seriously that - even if the alleged victim wants the charges dismissed - they may still prosecute. It is possible that going to trial is necessary in these cases, and our firepower in the courtroom means that we are ready in these cases.
