A restraining order is an order of injunction, preventing one person from having any contact – direct or indirect – with another. Restraining orders are issued in all Colorado domestic violence cases, although they are sometimes modified or vacated by the court following the motion of one or both parties. Also, individuals may obtain a civil protection order, which starts off as a temporary order and can become a permanent protection order if the petitioner so chooses and either the respondent does not object, does not appear in court at the permanent restraining order hearing, or appears and is unsuccessful at the permanent restraining order hearing. Oftentimes, alleged victims in pending criminal matters also seek permanent restraining orders against the defendant, in addition to any restraining order already imposed in the criminal case.

In Colorado, the law permits self-defense, but only under specific conditions. What begins as a self-protection claim can easily spiral into a criminal charge if the facts are misread or misrepresented. That’s why understanding how self-defense is treated under Colorado law can be the key to protecting your freedom.
At the Law Office of Kimberly Diego, we’ve represented clients in cases where force was used for one reason only: survival.
If you or a loved one is facing a challenging situation regarding the Colorado Red Flag Law, you may be feeling overwhelmed and unsure of where to turn for help. The Colorado Red Flag Law allows for the temporary seizure of firearms from individuals who pose a danger to themselves or others. This delicate legal matter requires a strong and experienced defense.
When carrying the weight of a criminal record, it doesn’t just sit in the background. It shows up in places that matter – job applications, apartment hunting, and even volunteer opportunities. If you’ve served your sentence, completed probation, or had your case dismissed, it’s fair to wonder whether Colorado allows you to clear the slate. The answer is yes, but not always – and not without strategy.
