Domestic Violence Attorney in Grand County, Colorado

Domestic violence charges are serious in Colorado, as the state's zero-tolerance mandatory arrest laws can significantly disrupt a defendant's life, even if the allegations are unfounded. If police believe a violation has occurred against a family member or romantic partner, you will be arrested even if the alleged victim does not press charges.

To minimize the impact to your job, your reputation, your home life, and your Second Amendment rights, contact an experienced domestic violence attorney as soon as possible after your arrest. Colorado fast-tracks domestic assault cases, meaning your attorney will have a limited time to prepare your defense before your first appearance in court.

Grand County Domestic Violence Defense

In the eyes of Colorado state law, domestic violence isn't exclusively physical. Domestic violence charges can stem from emotional abuse, financial abuse, and technological abuse. It's usually an enhancement or aggravator added to another criminal charge, typically:

  • Assault (CRS 18-3-202 – 204)
  • Stalking a.k.a. “Vonnie’s Law” (CRS 18-3-602)
  • Harassment (CRS 18-9-111)
  • False imprisonment (CRS 18-3-303)
  • Elder abuse (CRS 18-6.5-103)
  • Sexual assault (CRS 18-3-402)
  • Violating a restraining order (CRS 18-6-803.5)

You'll face a protection order soon after your arrest, which can negatively impact divorce or child custody proceedings, can prevent you from seeing your children, and can prevent you from living in your home. Even violating the protection order (CRS 18-6-803.5) in a class 1 misdemeanor, with the up to a year in jail as the penalty for a first time offense.

  • Zero Stress!

    “Matt was amazing! When I hired him I was in a pretty bad situation. He took care of everything, I continued with my life and knew that he was working hard to sort it out. Long story short. In less than a month everything was sorted out. Couldn’t ask for more. Good guy with great efficiency. Thank you, keep up the awesome practice.”

  • Brilliant

    “The way Matthew handled my case was truly impressive. He’s a true strategist, tactician and advocate. He consulted with me on every legal move and had ideas that I would have never thought of. Matthew was very knowledgeable and shared his expertise upfront in the process regarding my case. He set proper expectations and provided excellent advice along the way. Matthew knows the court system very well and is an excellent communicator. I would venture to guess he’s the best lawyer in Northern Colorado and one of the only Super Lawyers who practices PI and Criminal Defense in Colorado.”

    – Ryan

  • The Best Attorney

    “I’m so glad we found Matt Haltzman to take care of our case. He was so easy to work with, kind, and really listened to us. It was such a pleasure working with him. He was so professional and all my worries were gone. I had complete faith in him and he got our entire case dismissed. It would have been devastating to us had he not been such a great lawyer. We barely had to do anything, one meeting and one court appearance and the whole thing was thrown out. I would recommend him to anyone. He worked really hard for us. He is very bright and excellent at what he does. Thank you Matt! You truly saved us.”

    – Natalie
