Dismissed & Sealed

My client, a firearms instructor, was charged with Domestic Violence Assault 2 (F4-Crime of Violence). My client was accused of assaulting and strangling his girlfriend. After investigation of the facts, interview with witnesses, and obtaining character statements regarding the ex-girlfriend, I was able to demonstrate to the deputy district attorney that the ex-girlfriend pushed her way into my client’s home against his wishes, assaulted him, and that he was forced to restrain her to keep her from breaking more of his personal property and continuing her assault on him. These facts implicated the Colorado Make-My-Day Law, and my client acted legally. The deputy district attorney moved to dismiss the case, and the case was immediately sealed.
