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.

Testimonials

Wolf Law is your best option!

I’ve had the privilege of getting Jeff Wolf to represent me in my 1st DUI case. He did a great job explaining the case, the possible outcomes and overall getting good results. I highly recommend his services to anyone who has any moving violation infraction perhaps more and want to have the best results in court. Thank you Jeff.

— Marco

Colleen is wonderful!

Colleen was so helpful and it was comforting to have her knowledge and experience working on our emergency. She took a process we had no experience with and made us feel secure and empowered. She did so much for us, and I can’t thank her enough or recommend her more highly!

— James Sehota

My Son Was in Trouble, Jeff Wolf was His Advocate

When my son got in trouble, I was referred to Jeff Wolf by a friend. He was immediately responsive, calling me back within an hour. We set up a meeting for a couple of days later with no obligation, and when we met he helped us understand the many aspects of my son’s case. We retained him and were grateful for his obvious comfort with the legal system and ability to help us navigate it. Throughout, he advocated for my son but also was stern with him, very clearly communicating the severity of his situation. We ended up with a deferred sentence and are so glad we had Mr. Wolf’s help. He is very reliable and accessible; it was reassuring to know we had him in our court.

Worth every penny. Wolf Law at your side.

Wolf Law LLC is an exceptional law firm that I would recommend to all in search for legal help or advice. I had a troublesome case, it had me very worried and distraught, I had no idea what to do. I talked with Jeff in a FREE consultation, he was very knowledgeable and understanding of my situation, it had made me feel a lot more comfortable about my case and the position I was in (as if I was family). Every time there was something new about my case or even if I had questions, I felt comforted and relieved, Jeff responded very quickly.

I know not every case is the same and may not be dismissed like mine was, but with Wolf Law in your corner, I believe you have a fighting chance. Thank you again Wolf Law for fighting with me!

— B. Davis

Excellent Attorney

We hired Jeff to take over my son’s case after our first attorney (from another firm) showed up to his first court date late, looking homeless, and worst of all, having absolutely no knowledge of the case. We hired Jeff who did an excellent job explaining the process and how to get the outcomes we were fighting for. My son was facing years in Jail and a class 2 felony on his record as a teenager. He was able to plead the case down to a deferred sentence with no jail time and in record time. The entire process took a little over 6 weeks. When we went to court for my son to accept his sentence, I could tell that a big reason Jeff gets the outcomes he does is due to his professionalism and good working relationships with his colleagues in the Justice system. Thank you, Jeff. I got my first good night’s sleep in a long time last night. I will be forever grateful to you. Thank you so much for helping my son keep his future in his control.

Much Appreciation!

After a misread medical record, I was wrongly accused of a serious crime. Even though doctors admitted that the nurse misstated the severity of an injury, law enforcement tried to destroy my life. Law enforcement threatened to take away my wife, my kids and my life. I called around to a couple of attorneys, and no one offered the type of first-class customer service that Jeff provided. He was immediately available. Throughout the process, Jeff was there to guide and protect me. He was always available. And, after a long journey together, we found justice and freedom. During the process, I found Jeff to be intelligent, determined and highly personable. I strongly recommend Jeff!

Understanding, Patient, Helpful

Working with Jeff was the best choice I could have made for my circumstances. Not only did he take his time in hearing my side but also those around me. This allowed me to take care of myself as I moved through the legal process and provide the best results possible. Thank You for all the Help Jeff!!

Out of State? No Problem!

I was from out of state and ran into some trouble, when I realized for the first time in my life I needed an attorney. I called around and did my research, and I am so happy I chose Wolf Law and most importantly I received Cassandra Monahan as my attorney. I can’t speak high enough praise of Ms. Monahan. My family and I are very close and me being over 26 hours away was extremely hard for us, and understanding laws from another state were even harder! She provided us with in depth information on the laws and was there every step of the way and truly fought for my case. She followed through on everything we asked and went above and beyond. I am so thankful to have found Wolf Law and cannot recommended Ms. Monahan enough!

— Lesley B.

Professional and Honest

I was worried about looking for a lawyer because I have never done so before, but Jeff Wolf made it super easy for me and I couldn’t have been more happy with his services. He called me anytime something happened with my case or needed anything from me. He got me out of a 10 day jail sentence which really helped me since I started school this week. Honestly it was nothing but a professional and honest experience.

— Robert A.

I Couldn’t Have Asked for a Better Lawyer

Until the night of my DUI, I had never been in trouble before so one could only imagine how scared I was. Facing a DUI with a possible felony/assault charge, I honestly wasn’t sure how I was going to get through it all. I happened to find Jeffrey Wolf through another lawyer. After meeting with him in person, I knew immediately that he was going to help me. I was a complete wreck from day 1 and yet he made me feel at ease with every meeting, phone call and court appearance.

One of the traits I appreciated most was his honesty. Mr. Wolf told me straight up from the beginning what could happen and what I was facing but reassured me that he would do everything he could to get me through it with the best outcome. Having him there with me through this process and through every court appearance with him by my side made it easier to handle and I am so grateful to have worked with him. At the end of it all, I was able to get probation with a deferred judgment on my case. I would absolutely refer Mr. Wolf to any of my friends and/or family!
