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.

Highly Recommended!

Mr. Wolf is an incredible attorney to work with. My father and I have spent some time over the past 10 years with him, and have always seen fantastic results from different types of situations. He is very intelligent, honest, and diligent about any work brought his way.

I highly recommend Mr. Wolf and will call him first, anytime I need legal advice or representation!

Thank you Jeff!

Kind, Knowledgeable, and No-Nonsense Attorney

I hired Mr. Wolf to represent me in my efforts to obtain a permanent civil protection order against the person who committed a crime against me. This person is currently incarcerated for the crime but is being considered for parole. Due to Mr. Wolf’s criminal law background, and his outstanding attorney ratings, I believed him to be the best legal professional to successfully represent my safety and security concerns in court. I was not wrong!!

Mr. Wolf expertly and succinctly prepared the protection order paperwork on my behalf, prepared me for my court appearance in a direct and as complete a manner as possible, and successfully represented me in court. He also expressed sincere kindness towards me from the day I hired him to the conclusion of my case. Another attorney without a criminal law background may have been able to have successfully obtained a permanent civil protection order on my behalf; however, I was unwilling to take that chance given the criminal background of my case. I will be forever grateful to Mr. Wolf for his successful representation of me, and for making my safety and security one of his top priorities.

Wonderful Experience with Colleen Kelley

I recently had the pleasure of becoming Colleen Kelley’s client. Even despite the terrible circumstances of fighting wrongful criminal charges, Colleen provided a supportive and pleasant experience during this process. Thankfully, I was introduced to Colleen through another attorney. She took my case on short notice and started working on my behalf in less than 24 hours by showing up to court the day after I secured her services.

She was diligent in her research, communication, and pursuit of justice. In just three short months, my case was dismissed. During this three-month nightmare, Colleen provided clarity and assurance along the way. While Colleen was very thorough in regards to every possible outcome I might experience, her professionalism and devotion to this case made it clear that the outcomes would be outstanding from day one. I’m so thankful that I found Colleen to represent me. I would highly recommend her services.

I would recommend Colleen to anyone. She is honest, hard working, no BS, and gets the job done. She knows what to say and when to say it. She definitely went above and beyond for me. I would 100 percent use her again without a doubt.

Fantastic Attorney, Thorough and Knowledgeable

When I had charges pending against me, I had a free consultation with many attorneys and ultimately hired Jeff wolf as my formal representation. Most of the attorneys’ capabilities were relatively equal, but what stuck out with Jeff was his ethics and personal investment in my outcome.

From the beginning he tried to get a thorough sense of who I was in society and represent that to the judge for sentencing. In court he pleaded my case and balanced remorse for the action with any positive attributes to gain a favorable outcome. He is well spoken and respected in court.

I liked that his payment model worked through stages that he “earned” along the way. I had a clear understanding of what to expect from him, from the court, and the most likely requirements of my sentence. And when I didn’t understand or had additional questions on one part (and I had many) he took the time to explain and discuss the options and his recommendation with me.

He had a thorough knowledge of the system and its players as well as knowledge on unusual factors related to my specific case, and he made well-thought-out recommendations with reasoning but ultimately let me make the final decision.

The result of my case was quite favorable thanks to Jeff. Great lawyer, highly recommend.

Counselor Wolf presented himself as very knowledgeable, confident and professional throughout our dealings in this matter. Thank you Jeff, I appreciate your attention to detail and adept representation.

Recommendation

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.
