False imprisonment involves unlawfully detaining someone without movement, unlike kidnapping. It can occur due to misunderstandings or for malicious reasons like ransom.

Under Colorado law, movement distinguishes kidnapping from false imprisonment, with both carrying severe penalties, including potential felony charges.
Felony Assault
Assault, in its most basic form, is touching someone in an unwanted manner. The crime is the most common charge in Colorado, but it can be elevated to felony assault when certain factors are present. The state of Colorado divides assault into three categories: first, second and third-degree.

Third-Degree Domestic Assault
Colorado enhances crimes with domestic violence elements, affecting any offense related to intimate or shared parental relationships. Assault charges, for instance, escalate in severity based on harm and weapon use. If you’re facing such enhancements, it’s critical to consult a knowledgeable attorney to address the complexities of your case.

Protection orders play a critical role in keeping Colorado residents safe from acts of domestic violence, harassment, stalking, and other forms of abuse. Our team offers focused knowledge in obtaining protection orders, providing custom strategies for every individual case. We will remain by your side from the start of the protection order process through its conclusion.

Internet luring a child is a grave felony in Colorado, risking fines, prison and sex offender registration. If facing such charges, immediately secure strong legal representation to defend your rights and navigate the judicial process. Don’t delay; an experienced attorney is crucial for your case.
Menacing
In Colorado, menacing is threatening behavior that instills fear of harm, carrying fines and jail time.

From helping you pursue a record-sealing request to providing reliable and effective criminal defense to all of our clients, our attorneys offer various legal services, ensuring top-tier representation at every turn.
Understanding Your Miranda Rights
Your Miranda Rights are essential during custodial interrogation, not arrest. Voluntary statements can still be used in court. A skilled criminal defense attorney can assess the facts of your case to analyze the evidence against you. An experienced lawyer can determine if your Miranda rights were violated. In the event your rights were violated, they may be able to argue for the suppression of evidence. When evidence is suppressed, your case could potentially be dismissed if no other evidence is available.
