Surprisingly, Harassment, C.R.S. 18-9-111, is not an uncommon charge in Greeley and throughout Colorado. Swearing at another person in public, repeatedly calling another person, and even just touching another person without their permission are all grounds for Harassment charges in Weld County.

If you have been charged with Harassment, don’t wait, and contact the top Greeley Harassment lawyers to discuss your case today.
