In some sex crime cases and other criminal cases in Denver, Adams County and across Colorado, women and children make false accusations against husbands, fathers, significant others, mentors or family friends. Sometimes, children make false allegations to get a male figure out of their life, or they want to be moved to a different residence where they'll have more freedom. They don't think about the consequences involved with a false allegation. On the other hand, stepchildren, ex-girlfriends or spouses make false accusations to get revenge on a male figure or because they got caught up in the heat of an argument. Unfortunately, these accusations can lead to an issuance of an Emergency Protection Order in Colorado, which can affect many areas of your life. If you are facing charges of a sexual offense or another criminal offense and have been issued an Emergency Protection Order or Restraining Order in Colorado, call the best criminal defense lawyers at the O'Malley Law Office right away.

Emergency Protection Orders, C.R.S. 13-14-103, are issued in Douglas and Arapahoe County, under any county or district court's authority.
