A Law Firm Focused Exclusively on Colorado Criminal Defense

We don’t dabble in civil litigation or federal matters, criminal defense is all we do. That means we understand Colorado’s legal system inside and out, including the recent overhaul to misdemeanor classifications and the separate structure for drug offenses. Our defense services in Arvada include:

DUI & DWAI Defense: We challenge the validity of breath and blood tests, field sobriety procedures, and traffic stops to build the strongest possible defense.
Domestic Violence Charges: These cases can trigger immediate protection orders, child custody consequences, and mandatory arrest policies. Attorneys Colleen Kelley and Jeff Wolf’s courtroom experience in domestic violence cases make them an essential asset in these sensitive matters.
Assault & Violent Crimes: Jeff Wolf and Colleen have analyzed major assault and homicide trials on platforms like Court TV and Law & Crime. That level of insight goes into every violent crime case we take on.
Drug Offenses: Possession, intent to distribute, paraphernalia charges – Colorado drug crimes are complex, and the penalties vary dramatically depending on substance type and quantity.
Juvenile Defense: A criminal charge shouldn’t define a young person’s future. We work to divert cases, seal records, and minimize long-term consequences.
Theft & Property Crimes: From petty theft to felony burglary, we build comprehensive defenses that take into account the facts, your background, and the path forward.
Bond Hearings, Probation Violations, Expungement: We help clients fight to stay out of jail, clear past mistakes, and avoid probation pitfalls that could trigger harsh penalties.

Charged or Arrested in Arvada? Here’s What You’re Facing

Criminal cases in Arvada typically fall under the jurisdiction of Jefferson County with a small portion of the city in Adams County, depending on the location and nature of the charge. Court proceedings are commonly held at the Arvada Municipal Court in Arvada, Jefferson County Courthouse in Golden, and the Adams County Justice Center in Brighton with arrests processed through local agencies such as the Arvada Police Department, Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office, and Adams County Sheriff’s Office.

One of the most important things to understand is this:
Every person in Colorado except those charged with first-degree murder, is guaranteed a bond. This isn’t about “qualifying for release.” It’s about whether the amount set is affordable and fair.

Testimonials

Colleen Kelley, Esq.

Wolf Law Firm, LLC was not recommend to me by anyone, but as it turned out, was the best choice I could have made!

While searching for a lawyer for my two cases, a DUI and a trespassing felony, an understatement to say how scared I was! Wolf Law Firm caught my eye and, truthfully, it was because their firm provided a free consultation, which is invaluable in and of itself. Colleen Kelley is the attorney that picked-up the phone that day. After talking with her, I made the choice to hire her as my attorney.

We got off to a rocky start, mainly because of my inability to realize just how severe my situation was. Then, one day, Colleen just laid it on the line for me, my obvious unwillingness to face what was happening and the fact I wasn’t facing my drinking issues. It was a conversation that she was bold enough to have with me. Thanking her a million times over isn’t enough for the fortitude she had that day, not only as my attorney, but as a person genuinely concerned.

OUR outcome was more than phenomenal thanks to her diligence! I am, and will always remain, emotionally indebted to Colleen for her courage, kindness and overall, being an awesome attorney.

The day I came across Wolf Law Firm was the day, as it turned out, my life has a new beginning.

5 Stars

Was super helpful and always available anytime that I reached out. He was thorough and did everything that he could to help me out with my high BAC case. There isn’t a silver bullet out there and you likely won’t be lucky enough that somehow the charges go away, so your best bet is to sit with a consultation with Jeff and get your legal defense going ASAP as you work on the items that you can control (education/therapy/MADD panel) and let him handle the court items

Jeff Wolf

I was very impressed with the services provided and knowledge of him, and his firm. His direct communication and direction were very helpful and very much appreciated.

Thank you.

— Steve Bares

Highly Recommended

First of all, I would like to thank Colleen Kelley and all the staff at Wolf Law for helping me greatly with my legal matters. I called and was able to get consulted that same day, and the prices are very manageable. Colleen did an awesome job and took her time reviewing all the evidence and negotiating with the DA. In my first case she was able to get the charges completely dismissed, which was very impressive. I had a second case where she got me a deferred judgment deal, which was great considering the charges pending. I am very pleased with her efforts and time spent working on my case. Again, I would highly recommend Wolf Law, giving them 5/5 stars!

Beyond Expectations

Words cannot express how grateful I am to have been represented by Wolf Law. Any petition involving removal from the sex offender registry should never be handled on your own. Each case is unique, and the complications with mine were met with the highest degree of compassion and professionalism. I was treated as a human being that made a terrible mistake, rather than a monster as the stigma typically implies.

Thanks to the hard work of my attorney, Cassandra Monahan, as well as the other attorneys and legal staff that I had the pleasure of interacting with, I can finally bring a very painful chapter of my life to a close. There is much to be said about an attorney that performs as though they have a vested interest in your case as opposed to one that just wants your money. I highly recommend Wolf Law!

Wolf Law

I contacted Wolf Law about a question of law for a personal situation. I was quoted a fee and a timeline for the research. I was contacted by Cassandra Monahan from Wolf Law well within the estimated timeline. She presented an overview of her research and how it affected my situation. Her briefing was clear, concise, and while she cited a couple of relevant cases, the information was easily understandable by a non-lawyer. I am very satisfied with the work result and the value.

— Daniel H.

Professional and empathetic

I contacted Wolf Law for legal assistance with a case that had extenuating circumstances requiring someone experienced and understanding. When I first spoke with Jeff, he helped put me at ease and on the path to a resolution. Jeff promptly informed me of each new development in the case, while being sympathetic to my situation and advocating on my behalf. I’m incredibly satisfied with the result of the case and the speed at which Jeff achieved that outcome. Jeff was able to rectify a life changing event to just be a bump in the road.

Cassandra Monahan

Cassandra was absolutely amazing. She was fast, polite, professional, proficient, and extremely knowledgeable. She stayed in constant contact and took my many calls and silly questions. I rate her a 10 out of 10.
