A single criminal conviction can profoundly alter one's life. Our client faced this daunting reality when confronted with charges in three separate cases:
· false imprisonment,
· animal abuse, and
· violation of a protection order.
Each charge, classified as a misdemeanor in Colorado, carried potential jail sentences ranging from 12 to 18 months.
Fortunately, our Criminal Defense Team strategically negotiated with the district attorney. Our efforts yielded remarkable results: dismissal of charges in the false imprisonment and animal abuse cases.
Our client also received a deferred judgment for the protection order violation. If he completes probation, the violation will be dismissed. This approach helped our client avoid a permanent conviction on his record.
This multifaceted approach not only prevented our client from serving any time behind bars but also minimized long-term legal consequences.
