Family Law

• Divorce
• Child Support
  We recognize the seriousness that a domestic violence charge will have on you, your family and your future. Domestic violence convictions may prejudice an individual during a divorce, child custody or child support proceeding. Additionally, such convictions also carry a threat of deportation for non-citizens, and may affect your current and future employment prospects, as well as in other situations where a criminal background or court records check is routinely performed.

• Criminal Defense
  Mr. Robbins is a member of the Colorado Bar Association, Denver Bar Association, Colorado Criminal Defense Bar, American Trial Lawyers Association, American Bar Association, and the Faculty of Federal Advocates. He is licensed at the state level, by the Supreme Court of Colorado, and at the federal level, by the United States District Court for the District of Colorado.
• DUI/DWI
  DUI charges may be brought when somebody has consumed alcohol or one or more drugs, or a combination of these, and the alcohol or drugs affect them to a degree that they are largely incapable mentally or physically of driving. This means that they are unable to use clear judgment, use enough physical control, or use due care in the safe operation of a vehicle. The penalties even for a first DUI, DUI per se, or DWAI can be severe. These may include incarceration, the loss of a driver’s license, participation in a Victim Impact panel, monitoring, restitution, and alcohol treatment and education. Collateral consequences can include a criminal record, educational challenges, job loss, and the loss of an occupational license. To avoid these harsh outcomes, you should consult a DUI attorney in the Denver area who can investigate all of the available defenses. For example, these may involve arguing that the original stop was unjustified or that there was an innocent explanation for the driver’s apparent intoxication. DWAI
• Traffic Violations
  Monte was absolutely the best and I would highly recommend him if you need a lawyer in Colorado. My alleged Colorado traffic violations were substantial and without Monte I would have lost my license to drive. I did my homework and called several attorneys before deciding Montel was the right fit and man was he. He developed a unique strategy and executed it flawlessly to help me get from a 26 point violation to simply 6 points. He worked wonders in a remote area of Colorado and I have no doubt his genuine approach made the court feel at ease about the agreed solution. Monte, you were a blessing to work with and I cannot thank you enough for all your due diligence.
• Sex Crimes
  Certain persons are ineligible for removal from the sex offender registry, thus registration is a lifetime requirement. Those persons are as follows: a sexually violent predator, any person who was convicted as an adult of: 1st degree sexual assault, 2nd degree sexual assault, sexual assault in violation of CRS 18-3-402 (includes offenses described by statute in CRS 18-3-402 to include Class 4 Felony, Class 1 Misdemeanor Extraordinary Risk, Class 3 Felony, Class 2 Felony), sexual assault on a child, sexual assault on a child by a person in a position of trust, sexual assault on a client by a psychotherapist, incest, aggravated incest, and any adult who has more than one conviction or adjudication for unlawful sexual behavior in Colorado or another state as an adult or juvenile.
• Robbery
  Some of the most common types of felonies, which are prosecuted, include robbery, grand theft, drug possession and/or sales, sexual assault, burglary, and aggravated assault.
• Burglary
  A variety of allegations can result in domestic violence charges, ranging from harassment, disorderly conduct, criminal mischief, and burglary to overt threats and assault. If you are being prosecuted for a domestic violence charge, the court will issue a Mandatory Protection Order, more commonly known as a restraining order, as a condition for your release from jail. This order will require you to stay away from the alleged victim's home, or other places where the alleged victim may go, such as his or her school, church, or job. The order will also require you to avoid contacting the alleged victim directly, including by telephone, letters, email, or text messages, as well as indirectly, such as through a friend, family member, or child. In addition, jurisdictions throughout Colorado have a "no-drop" policy once domestic violence charges are brought. The effect of this policy is to prosecute the defendant on the charges regardless of whether the accuser cooperates.
• Theft
• Misdemeanors
  Misdemeanor crimes in Colorado are divided into three separate classes, depending upon the severity of the potential punishment involved. "Class One" misdemeanors are the most severe, and carry a potential penalty of up to eighteen months imprisonment, or a five thousand dollar fine, or both. The maximum time of imprisonment may be increased beyond the stated eighteen months for crimes that are considered "extraordinary risk crimes", as defined by statute.
• Drug Crimes
  Often times DUI drug cases do not involve illegal drugs and narcotics. Cases are frequently prosecuted involving over-the-counter medications, prescribed drugs, and marijuana (regardless of whether a driver has his/her medical marijuana registration card).
• Assault
  There are six different classes of felonies that divide these crimes based on their nature and the maximum potential sentence that may be imposed. There is a presumptive penalty range for each felony classification, as well as maximum and minimum incarceration sentences. The penalties can range from a year of imprisonment to life imprisonment. The court is allowed to deviate from a presumptive penalty range in a felony case when there are extraordinary mitigating or aggravating circumstances. Felonies that are commonly prosecuted in Colorado include aggravated assault, sexual assault, burglary, drug crimes, grand theft, and robbery. Misdemeanors
• Juvenile Crimes
  Juvenile law in Colorado is an enormous area of law encompassing special rules, proceedings, statutes, agencies, sentencing schemes, and rights. Juvenile law is governed by the Colorado Children’s Code.
• Probation Violation
  A probation violation complaint is a serious matter with serious consequences. When probation files a complaint, they are typically alleging that the person (“probationer”) is unwilling to follow the rules of probation and therefore the person should be re-sentenced to a term of jail.
