Understanding the True Cost of a Domestic Violence Conviction
When the police are called on a domestic violence report, it is an almost absolute certainty that at least one of the parties will be arrested and go to jail. It does not matter whether or not there is an actual abusive relationship. It does not matter whether or not there was actual domestic assault or spousal abuse. Someone is going to be behind bars.
Many people are shocked to find out how serious domestic violence charges are and how important it is to seek legal representation quickly. Colorado maintains a Fast Track program for domestic violence cases. This means that the authorities will try to have you before the courts and pled out on a lesser charge very quickly.
