Denver Battery Defense Attorney

What is Considered Battery in Colorado Law?

Under Colorado Law the term "Battery" is known as "Menacing". Battery/Menacing charges occur when an individual has used violent physical force against the body of another person. Battery/Menacing charges differ from assault charges in that they have escalated to the point of inflicting intentional physical harm.

There are a wide number of battery/menacing charges that can be leveled against you. Many times these charges are much more severe than the actual events that transpired. Your charge can be elevated to a federal offense in some specific cases, such as when the crime involved a deadly weapon, occurred on federal property, or was committed against a child, a federal law enforcement officer, or other government official.

Colorado Menacing Penalties

Menacing is typically considered a class 3 misdemeanor resulting in up to $5k in fines & up to 1.5 years in prison. However, if you are convicted of Menacing with a Deadly Weapon you could be charged with a class 5 felony resulting in up to $100k in fines & up to 3 years in prison.

The consequences of a menacing conviction can be severe and lifelong depending on the specifics of the circumstances. In order to defend yourself against the repercussions that result from a menacing charge, you will need the assistance of a qualified Colorado criminal defense attorney.
