Zoe Levesque
Litigation Attorney
My name is Zoe Levesque, and I am a litigation attorney at Right Law Group, As an attorney, I am committed to representing my clients during their time of need. If you are facing a criminal charge, it is crucial to hire an experienced attorney to navigate the complexities of the legal system. I work tirelessly to be your advocate, assuring you achieve the best possible outcome. Whether you’re seeking a favorable resolution or need support throughout the legal process, I am here to provide the expert guidance and relentless advocacy you deserve.
Anytime you’re charged with a domestic violence offense in Colorado—or if the court finds probable cause to believe one has occurred—you’ll be required to complete a firearm affidavit. This is a legal form where you must affirm either that you do not own any firearms or that you have relinquished or transferred them to another person.
This requirement exists because individuals under investigation or charged with domestic violence are not legally allowed to possess firearms. Failing to comply with this affidavit—or lying on it—can lead to additional charges, such as violating a protection order, and other serious consequences.
Another important aspect of domestic violence cases is the issuance of a mandatory protection order. By statute, the court must issue this order in any case involving domestic violence. Typically, it prohibits contact with the alleged victim and may include restrictions against harassment, intimidation, or even residing in the same home.
Often, you’ll need an attorney to help you modify this protection order—especially if you wish to return home, resume contact, or adjust the conditions in any way.
A third important point to understand is that in domestic violence cases, the prosecutor has full discretion in deciding whether to move forward with charges. Even if the alleged victim later decides they no longer want to press charges or asks for the case to be dismissed, that alone is not enough.
The prosecutor will consider the victim’s wishes, but if they believe there is enough evidence to proceed, they can and will continue to prosecute the case regardless of the victim’s stance.
As a Colorado native, I attended George Washington High School where I was a two-sport athlete. I continued my academic and athletic pursuits at Bethany College in Kansas, where I balanced competing in dual sports while pursuing a triple major in Political Science, History, and Criminal Justice. My extensive undergraduate education laid a solid foundation for my legal pursuits.
I received my legal degree from Washburn University School of Law in Topeka, Kansas. During my tenure, I was awarded a full-time internship at the Denver District Attorney’s Office. This invaluable experience led to a position at the District Attorney’s office. As an a deputy district attorney, I gained an enormous amount of trial experience and prosecuted a wide range of cases, including DUIs, traffic accidents, and domestic violence cases. I took pride in being fair and reasonable, treating everyone with the respect they deserve. My experience included being the coordinator of the Diversion and Restorative justice program which seeks alternatives to imprisonment and an understanding of life factors that contribute to criminal activity. This unique opportunity has provided me with invaluable insights that enable me to explore and advocate for favorable outcomes that go beyond traditional legal processes.
As a practicing attorney in this esteemed law firm, I draw on my extensive and diverse experience in the legal field to offer dedicated and insightful representation, ensuring my clients receive the diligence they need and deserve.
Sincerely,
Zoe Levesque
One too many drinks can leave you sitting in the drunk tank with a DUI.
One loud fight can turn into domestic violence charges.
A moment of distraction or a heavy foot can turn into a speeding ticket.
In almost every case, there is a silver lining and an opportunity to get the outcome you are looking for as long as you have an experienced Colorado criminal defense lawyer to guide you through the complicated criminal process.
