Many felony offenses involving force are defined as violent crimes here in Colorado. Even if you believed you were exercising your right to defend yourself, your family or your property, the police are not required to believe you, and you may be charged with a crime of violence.
Convictions for felony violent crimes include serious consequences, including mandatory minimum prison sentences. At The Law Office of Thomas W. Martin, LLC, in Fort Collins, we provide comprehensive defense representation for criminal charges including:
The courts consider use of a weapon, a defendant's state of mind and the physical injuries of the alleged victim when determining the nature and severity of the charge.
