What is a Restraining (Protection) Order in Denver?

A Restraining / Protection Order in Denver is a court order meant to protect an individual or individuals from a specific person. Yet, the government's efforts to “protect” often just lead to greater harm for the accused.

Will I Have a Restraining Order the Rest of My Life?

It depends on the type of restraining order you receive. In Arapahoe and Jefferson County, there are two types of restraining orders. They are:

Civil Restraining / Protection Orders (C.R.S. 13-14-102)

Criminal Restraining / Protection Orders (C.R.S. 18-1-1001)

The difference between the two restraining orders is that Civil Restraining and Protection Orders can last the rest of your life, while Criminal Restraining / Protection Orders only last until your case is dismissed or you have served your jail or prison sentence.

Restraining Orders in Littleton Are Given Unfairly

Always consult a criminal defense lawyer if you have questions about restraining orders.

Restraining orders in Littleton and Highlands Ranch are often issued unjustly. If you're accused of a crime by a victim, the police often side with the victim over the accused. Police listen to the victim even when the victim isn't telling the truth. This is dangerous and can lead to a restraining order against you that is completely unnecessary. Once a restraining order is filed against you, you are limited in many ways. For instance, you cannot contact the alleged victim of the case and you will not be able to possess a firearm.  In other cases, you can't see your own kids or go to work.
