After September 1, 2010, any individual sentenced for a domestic violence conviction will be required to complete either a Level A (low intensity), Level B (moderate intensity), or Level C (high intensity) track of treatment. This is a change from previous law, which imposed a requirement of 36 weeks of treatment across the board. Also, an individual may be permitted to do all or some of his treatment in individual, as opposed to a group, sessions if his or her circumstance is deemed to constitute “special circumstances”. Any individual who is in “severe denial” may also be placed in individual treatment. Level A and B would require an individual to attend meetings once a week, whereas Level C would require two meetings a week. An individual’s level of treatment may be increased based on any perceived lack of progress.
Other consequences of a domestic violence conviction include the following:
You will never again be permitted to own or possess a weapon after a domestic violence conviction. You also will be placed on the Colorado Bureau of Investigation and the FBI’s National Instant Check System for life.
You may lose your job, in particular, if your job requires you to work with ammunition, firearms, or other dangerous instruments.
Also, if you are not a U.S. citizen, your immigration status may be negatively impacted and you may be deported.

The prosecution’s case hinges on the evidence they present, but not all evidence is valid. If it was obtained illegally, mishandled, or lacks credibility, it can and should be challenged. Just because the prosecution introduces evidence doesn’t mean it’s admissible—many cases fall apart when key evidence is thrown out.
If you’re facing criminal charges, knowing how to challenge improper evidence could be the difference between a conviction and a case
Probation offers an opportunity to avoid jail time and move forward, but it also comes with a long list of rules, fees, and expectations.
