Domestic Violence & Gun Rights

Denver Domestic Violence Lawyer

Being accused or convicted of a domestic violence misdemeanor will affect your rights to own, possess, collect or use a firearm. If you are accused and arrested, it is a temporary restriction. If convicted, you could lose your gun rights for life. Not all "domestic violence" actually involves physical violence or assault towards another. Whatever the circumstances may be, if the police are called and you are arrested, you will face a series of immediate restrictions on your freedom including your right to bear arms. If you or a loved one has been arrested for domestic violence you should call a Denver domestic violence attorney at the Lancaster Law Office, LLC immediately. Domestic violence cases are often put on a "Fast Track" to be processed and prosecuted quickly to reach a plea or conviction.

Do not speak or make any statements to law enforcement until you have an attorney present to protect your rights. Do not accept any "plea deal" or settlement for "lesser charges" without your lawyer's counsel. Anything other than a "not guilty" plea will mean you risk losing both your freedom and rights to possess firearms. After you are released from jail you will be restricted from contacting or seeing the alleged victim or even returning home under an "order of protection" (restraining order) issued by the court. It is important to follow the rules carefully. Any violations even if unintentional or by accident can result in your being immediately arrested and facing additional charges. Team up with the top domestic violence lawyer in Denver and fight to avoid the potential consequences.

The evidence and testimony against you will be used to establish if you actually threatened, assaulted or harmed the alleged victim physically or with the use of a weapon. Insulting or swearing at someone does not involve the use of force. Pointing a gun or weapon at them does. If actual force or physical assault was used, you will permanently lose your right to possess any type of firearm. Searching for a lawyer for your domestic violence case in Denver?
