Denver Menacing Defense Lawyer

Colorado Weapons Attorney

In Colorado, menacing can be charged if a person uses a weapon to threaten or cause fear in someone. The weapon could be anything that might cause harm-a gun, knife, a stick, automobile, or even something that "appears" to be a gun. Menacing charges may be added to other charges such as robbery, assault, or domestic violence cases.

In many cases, menacing charges can be added even if the actual weapon is never found, either because it is lost or because it never existed in the first place. Menacing charges can arise by way or exaggeration or poor perception by a witness. In the heat of the moment, witnesses cannot be trusted to see events as they actually unfolded or absent some bias. In these cases, it is imperative to have an aggressive attorney to cross examine the witness and challenge their credibility and memory of events.
