Domestic Assault Is a Serious Allegation in Colorado Springs
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.
Domestic violence cases in Colorado Springs often move quickly through the legal system, and it is essential to understand how local courts such as El Paso County Court handle these allegations. A domestic violence attorney can help clients navigate the specific laws and procedures unique to Colorado, including mandatory arrest policies and the imposition of protection orders. If you are facing accusations, securing legal counsel early may protect your rights and have an impact on both your criminal and family law matters.
We believe that everyone deserves a defense tailored to their individual circumstances. For military families stationed near Peterson Space Force Base and Fort Carson, even a misdemeanor charge may influence future assignments and careers. By working with a domestic violence attorney Colorado Springs residents respect, individuals gain not only experienced guidance, but also an advocate familiar with the region’s legal climate and resources.
Understanding the real-world consequences of a domestic violence allegation is vital:- Professional and personal risks: Your job, professional license, and personal reputation may be jeopardized by an arrest.
- Immediate legal restrictions: Protection orders often restrict contact and limit where you can live or work.
- Impact on family law matters: Separate custody and divorce proceedings may be affected by the outcome of a domestic violence case.
- Firearm ownership limitations: A conviction typically results in losing your right to possess firearms under Colorado and federal law.

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.
There are several important steps and considerations you should keep in mind when fighting domestic violence charges:
- Contact a domestic violence lawyer Colorado Springs: Seeking legal counsel as soon as possible gives your attorney time to build a strong defense.
- Do not make statements to police without a lawyer: Anything you say can be used against you in court, so always request legal representation before talking to law enforcement.
- Preserve evidence: Gather photos, text messages, emails, or witness information that may support your version of events.
- Comply with court orders: Adhering strictly to all protection orders or bail conditions keeps you in good standing throughout the process.
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 charges 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.
Hiring a domestic violence lawyer Colorado Springs residents trust means choosing a team that understands the nuances of both local statutes and courtroom practices. Our attorneys are prepared to investigate every detail and challenge weak or unreliable allegations. We frequently attend hearings at Colorado Springs Municipal Court, where the approach of each judge and prosecutor can play a critical role in the development of your case. By gathering evidence early and scrutinizing every element of the prosecution’s claims, we focus on building strong defenses that reflect your side of the story.
We emphasize clear communication so that you are informed about your options from the first meeting to the final outcome. Our firm supports clients by offering low retainers and payment plans, ensuring that access to a domestic violence attorney is never limited by financial pressure. We understand how overwhelming this process can feel, and our commitment is to guide each person through every step with clarity and respect for your unique concerns.

"I was absolutely floored with the knowledge and expertise that not only Caryn carries, but the firm as a whole."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

"I highly recommend that you not waste your time hiring other attorneys and hire the Gasper Law Group."After an absolutely crazy incident that could not have been seen almost anywhere besides a movie. I received some serious charges and was in search of an attorney. They would not only represent me but need to do the right thing because it's the right thing to do. Not because of a paycheck. I met Caryn Adams after meeting with several other top attorneys in the Colorado Springs area. I was very impressed with her genuine care about my situation and her want to help me. Not only did I want great representation, but I needed someone that I could reasonably afford given all the other expenses I was incurring. Caryn checked every box I needed. She was the only attorney who took extra care when I initially met with her to do everything she could do to protect me even before I hired her. I highly recommend that you not waste your time hiring other attorneys and hire the Gasper Law Group. They will protect you.- Lance F.

"The professionalism, guidance, and candor I’ve received from each person in this law firm has been beyond reproach."
I’m not one to have an extensive experience with law firms or lawyers and court in general. However, the professionalism, guidance, and candor I’ve received from each person in this law firm have been beyond reproach. Anytime, I mean, anytime, I’ve had a question about my case and the way forward, I was met with a friendly and constructive conversation about my case. There was never a doubt in my mind, that I made the right choice when I selected this law firm to represent me. Caryn and Stacie have been a wonderful blessing to my life and my legal proceedings. If you are looking for a no-BS law firm that has a significant reputation in the Springs area, I absolutely recommend this one. Even though I hope to not have to deal with this again, fingers crossed and every lucky charm, I’d trust this law firm with my representation to handle the hard stuff and give me ease with court proceedings. Thank you all for what you do and have done for me, my family, and my career. Bless you all.
