If you have been convicted of a sex crime, you may be required to register as a sex offender for the rest of your life. Having your name on Colorado’s Sex Offender Registry can result in harassment, and the loss of your job, apartment, home, children, and family. If you are required to register as a sex offender in Colorado, you understand the stigma. You understand how our society demonizes people who have been arrested or convicted of any sex crime.
Being relieved of the requirement to register as a sex offender is difficult to do and only possible in certain circumstances – but it can be done.
I work hard to help people request removal of the sex offender registration requirement, and I will take the time to explain the process of sex offender registry removal to you. The laws that govern the registration of sex offenders in Colorado are complex, and the length of time you must stay on the registry depends entirely on what crime you were convicted of. Further, there are certain eligibility waiting periods that apply:
20 Years: People convicted of class 1, 2, or 3 felonies may be removed after 20 years following discharge of sentence
10 Years: Unlawful sexual contact, class 1 misdemeanor or any class 4, 5 or 6 felony
5 Years: Misdemeanor offenses other than class 1 (including indecent exposure)
Upon case dismissal: Deferred judgment and sentence for underlying offenses (deferred sentence)
You have the right to petition the district court for an order directing removal from the central sex offender registry. I can assist you with the deregistration petition and will fight for you in court.
When someone is charged with a crime in Colorado, one of the first questions that matters is whether the offense is a felony or a misdemeanor. The difference affects where the case is handled, the possible jail or prison sentence, the amount of fines, and the long-term consequences of a conviction.
In general, misdemeanors are less serious offenses that are usually punishable by county jail time, probation, fines, or other
A bail or bond hearing in Colorado is one of the first major court appearances after a criminal arrest. It determines whether a person will remain in custody while their case moves forward or be released under specific conditions. Although it happens early in the process, the decisions made at this stage can influence the entire direction of the case.
In most situations, this hearing occurs within hours or days
A Denver DUI arrest centers on two numbers: the roadside device reading and the station machine reading. Most people assume both are final. At the Law Office of Kimberly Diego, you can work with a Denver DUI defense attorney who understands that both readings can be challenged, and that the strongest defenses are built by reading the paper trail behind the numbers.
