Types of Criminal Charges We Defend

Wolf Law handles a wide range of criminal matters in and around Commerce City. Below are just a few of the most common charges we see—and how we can help.

DUI & DWAI Charges

Commerce City police and Colorado State Patrol are vigilant about impaired driving. If you’re charged with DUI, DWAI, or DUI per se, you need immediate legal help. A conviction can result in jail time, license suspension, ignition interlock devices, and skyrocketing insurance rates.

At Wolf Law, we understand Colorado’s express consent laws and how to challenge field sobriety tests, breathalyzer results, and police procedures. We’ve helped clients in Commerce City and beyond retain their driving privileges and avoid harsh penalties.

Assault & Violent Crimes

Assault charges in Colorado range from misdemeanor third-degree assault to felony first-degree assault. Many cases stem from bar fights, domestic disputes, or misunderstandings that quickly escalate.

If you’re facing assault charges in Commerce City, we’ll investigate all aspects of the case, including self-defense claims, witness credibility, and police conduct. Our goal is to minimize or eliminate the impact of the charges on your life.

Domestic Violence

A domestic violence (DV) accusation carries serious social and legal consequences—even before a conviction. In Commerce City, police must arrest the accused if there’s probable cause, and a protective order is typically issued immediately.

We defend against both misdemeanor and felony DV charges and help clients navigate the collateral consequences, such as gun restrictions and child custody implications. Learn more on our Domestic Violence Defense page.

Drug Possession & Distribution

Colorado has decriminalized some drugs, but drug offenses are still aggressively prosecuted—especially in Adams County. Whether you’ve been charged with simple possession of a controlled substance or drug distribution, we can help.

We examine every angle, from unlawful search and seizure to lab testing accuracy. Our Commerce City clients often benefit from negotiated plea deals, reduced charges, or treatment-based alternatives.

See our Drug Crimes Defense page for more.

Juvenile Offenses

Teenagers make mistakes—but those shouldn’t define their future. If your child has been charged with theft, drug possession, underage DUI, or other offenses in Commerce City, Wolf Law offers non-judgmental, strategic juvenile defense aimed at rehabilitation and long-term success.

Probation Violations

Violating probation—even unintentionally—can land you back in jail. If you’re facing a probation violation hearing in Commerce City, our attorneys can represent you and argue for continued supervision instead of incarceration. We’ve helped many clients stay on track and avoid unnecessary punishment.

What to Expect When You Call Wolf Law

During your free consultation, we’ll listen carefully to your side of the story, explain what the charges mean, and outline possible defense strategies. You’ll speak directly with a criminal defense attorney—not a call center or junior staff member.

We’ll also help you understand:

Your rights under Colorado and federal law
What to say (and what NOT to say) to police and prosecutors
Court dates, pre-trial motions, and potential outcomes

From Commerce City Municipal Court to Adams County District Court, we provide guidance at every stage—from arrest to resolution.

Commerce City Legal System: What You Should Know

Commerce City residents facing criminal charges will typically encounter one of the following courts:

Commerce City Municipal Court: Handles traffic infractions, municipal code violations, and petty offense misdemeanors (link)
Adams County Combined Court in Brighton: Handles felonies, misdemeanors, juvenile matters, and protection orders (link)

Police reports are often filed by Commerce City PD or the Adams County Sheriff’s Office, and your case may also involve prosecutors from the 17th Judicial District or the Commerce City Attorney’s Office.

We’re familiar with all of these players—and we know how to work within (and challenge) the system.

Wolf Review

I hired Jeff Wolf to represent me in a DUI case where I was charged, but was not the one that was driving the vehicle. From the very beginning I felt that I was in good hands because he made me secure in the fact I was innocent and that, though I was drunk, I did not do anything against the law. Every time I emailed him, I received a response immediately. I felt that he knew the system well, and how to handle this “game” of law. When he had to deal with a health emergency, he made me aware of my options and what he thought would be my best choice, which was being represented for court by another attorney that knew my case inside and out. He just called me this past Monday to let me know my case was dismissed! I would recommend Jeff Wolf to anyone being charged with anything in Colorado. He knows the laws of Colorado and will keep it real with the possible outcomes of your case.

I’m forever thankful for her strength, compassion, and dedication. She didn’t just win my case; she saved my life.

Thank you, Colleen. I am forever grateful for you.

Deferred Sentence, Sealed Record For Pot Possession

In July of 2009 I was charged with possession of marijuana. I contacted Jeff with Wolf Law and worked with him to find my best options. Jeff was very knowledgeable, honest and professional. He worked quickly and effectively to get me a deferred sentence and ultimately seal the record of this infraction. I also had a prior charge that was many years old that was also a deferred sentence. Jeff worked to seal that record in order help maintain my privacy. I now have used this ability to change my field of work and pass a background check with no infractions visible on my record. My life is moving onward and upward due to the help that was provided by Wolf Law. Thank You Jeff!

Best Possible Outcome Thanks to Wolf Law

When I walked into the office I was at a low point I can’t describe. When I talked to Jeffrey Wolf I wanted to hear, “Don’t worry, you’re going to be fine.” Instead I was told the honest truth: I was in serious trouble, but he would fight like crazy to get me the best possible outcome. After thinking about that I realized it was far better to hear the truth rather than a lawyer trying to get my business, and in the end I got exactly what Jeff said: Good advice, an excellent professional defense, and I believe the best possible outcome I could have wanted. I highly recommend Wolf Law.

Cares about clients

I’ve had a few attorneys and as most know attorneys mostly care about the money and the payday your case brings them rather than their clients and thats my experience with attorneys.

When I first called Wolf Law they instantly showed their interest in my case and not money. After my initial call to Wolf Law, Jeff Wolf called me back as soon as he had the chance to discuss options and what it would look like if I hired him. He gave great advice and no pressure to use him. That goes along way when looking for an attorney. Jeff and his firm care about their clients and that’s why he will be my attorney moving forward.

Look No Further – Jeff is the Best

I was falsely accused of a crime with serious consequences, was very depressed and got even more depressed and frustrated as I was interviewing attorneys to defend me. They had a broad spectrum of approaches and some were ready to head to trial immediately as it seemed they were primarily interested in battles and my money rather than my best interests. The first one was extremely arrogant and rushed to get me off the phone. My court appearance date was approaching and I was ready to give up when I came across Jeffrey’s website. I read he had once also been falsely accused which motivated him to become an attorney. After further reading, his philosophy appealed to me so I set up a free session.

I met with Jeffrey and told him what happened. He explained the alleged crime and potential consequences and then spoke about himself and his approach. I spent more time than the “free time” allocated but was never rushed. He listened, believed me and was really genuine as I had not witnessed before with other attorneys.

By the time we finished talking, I felt respected and not disrespected as I found out with this accusation, you are guilty until proven innocent from most everyone’s perspective. I hired Jeff on the spot and when I left his office, I felt this big burden lifted off my shoulders as I knew I could trust him to do his best for me. I was finally able to sleep that night and after several weeks able to put this out of my mind as being the constant main focus.

If you are seeking a very knowledgeable, trustworthy, caring, honest and respectful attorney, Jeffrey fits the bill. He is a great listener and never rushed me even with a flat fee rate. He has a good rapport with the Court who also respectfully listens to him. He is well spoken in the courtroom. I have seen him in several cases reaching very good settlements for his clients. On my case, he provided me his opinion with his rationale as to how I should proceed but allowed me to then make a decision as to go to trial or take a plea bargain. He would fully support my decision either way. Jeff is very good in providing the pros and cons, risks, and potential scenarios that may play out. My case will be dismissed shortly and record sealed as a result of Jeff’s hard work, negotiations, poking holes in the accuser’s story pre-trial, and dedication to my satisfactory case resolution. If you want the best, look no further as you have found him. Thank you Jeff!

A Second Chance

I cannot express enough gratitude for the exceptional legal representation provided by Attorney Monahan. Facing a daunting traffic case that left me feeling like my life was over, she stepped in and truly became my lifeline. Her expertise, dedication, and unwavering support not only secured a favorable outcome but also gave me a second chance at life.

Throughout the entire process, she exhibited professionalism and empathy, understanding the gravity of the situation while also believing in the potential for redemption. Her strategic approach and meticulous attention to detail were evident in every aspect of my case, ensuring that no stone was left unturned.

I want to emphasize that I am in no way undermining the seriousness of my actions or the potential consequences. However, thanks to her skillful advocacy, I am now able to move forward with renewed hope and determination.

I wholeheartedly recommend her and the entire team at Wolf Law to anyone in need of legal representation. Their commitment to their clients’ well-being and their relentless pursuit of justice truly sets them apart. Thank you Cassandra Monahan for giving me a second chance and for your unwavering support every step of the way.

A Light in the Darkness

Most people live their lives never dreaming they would ever need the services of a criminal defense attorney. But, sometimes, life takes a hard left turn with no warning and you can find yourself in a very dark and scary place. When that happened to us we didn’t know where to turn. But, our daughter did. An old classmate and friend, Jeffrey Wolf, was the person to call. So we did. We called an attorney but a hero was who showed up. Mr Wolf is a picture of competence with compassion. He alleviated many of our fears and answered every question with confidence. During this most difficult time he made it possible for us to continue to live our lives and actually sleep at night knowing that we were in the best possible hands. Our family will be forever grateful to Mr Wolf as he truly is a Light in the Darkness.
