Domestic Assault Is a Serious Allegation
Domestic violence assault may be charged as a misdemeanor (a push, a slap, threats of violence) or a felony if the spousal abuse caused serious or lasting injury.
Teachers, child care workers and others in “people” positions can lose their jobs or professional licensure. You can lose your right to own or carry a gun – a career-ending problem in the military. In Colorado, a DV assault carries a special tag, with enhanced penalties as a habitual offender for future criminal charges.
NOTE: Domestic violence allegations also have ramifications in divorce and custody disputes. The Gasper Law Group practices family law in Colorado Springs – our firm can protect your interests in both the criminal and family court arenas.

Colorado Springs Domestic Violence Attorneys
An arrest for domestic violence ripples into every aspect of your life. It can cost you your right to see your children, your employment, your right to possess firearms and perhaps your freedom.
The Gasper Law Group provides the skilled, proactive defense to shield you from the worst consequences of a criminal charge of domestic assault. We also can represent you in fighting a permanent restraining order or defend you on subsequent charges of violating a protective order.
Allen Gasper and his associate attorneys have extensive experience in domestic violence defense. We serve men and women in the Colorado Springs area, including El Paso County, Teller County and Arapahoe and Douglas counties.
Fighting the Charges
If police are called, at least one of the parties will be going to jail. If you were arrested, contact us immediately before you say anything. Any statement, regardless how insignificant it might seem, could come back to bite you. Sometimes, police show up the next day. If you have any hint that charges are coming, we can represent you for a low fee to check into it.
In the domestic violence hearing, we fight to have charges dismissed or minimized. Was the assault provoked or in self-defense? Was it exaggerated or fabricated for other motivations? Are the witnesses cooperative? (We commonly get calls from victims who want charged dropped. Unfortunately, that is not one of the victim’s rights.)
The Gasper Law Group represents you in every phase of domestic violence proceedings, including extension of the temporary protective order or representation on charges of stalking or harassment.
Contact us quickly to protect your rights and determine where you stand.

I, unfortunately, was involved with two separate situations within a few years of each other, which left me in quite a bind both times. I was lucky enough to have Caryn assist me in both cases and was absolutely floored with the knowledge and expertise that not only she carries, but the firm as a whole. One of the best, if not the best lawyers I've ever come across. Extremely nice and very honest. I was able to resolve my situations with minimal impact and continue my life without fear of being held back.- Former Client

Christine, Kris, and Ebony are amazing and compassionate. We enjoyed every interaction. Gasper Law firm keeps appropriate communication and not in excess which keeps our cost low. We are so very grateful. Even if an unexpected turn in our guardianship hearing they remained diligent to ensure things were done in a timely manner. Thank you so much! You helped complete our family and we are forever grateful.- Misty M.

Caryn Adams and her team are hands down the BEST. I don't think I would have made it through what I went through without her by my side. My charges were dropped and we walked away with all parental rights/custody and a restraining order against the other party.- Avarie J.

The Gasper Law Group was fantastic. From the start, they treated me incredibly well and were very open about everything from my situation. They were incredibly attentive to me and my case and made sure I fully understood everything while supporting me in every way they could. Caryn was AMAZING in handling my case. Her knowledge, confidence, and attentiveness were second to none. I would recommend them to anyone for any situation.- Jason E.

I dug myself a deep hole and didn’t have much hope or luck with the attorney I used before. I called Gasper law group and Caryn Adams was my attorney that took charge of everything. I couldn’t have asked for anything better the outcome she made possible is everything I wanted. She is great at her job and takes cases seriously … don’t have much hope leave it to Caryn she will change that. Thanks Gasper law group you’re the best!- Mike L.
