Charged With a Crime in Colorado? You’re Not Alone.

Led by seasoned attorneys Jeff Wolf and Colleen Kelley, our team handles a wide range of criminal charges across Colorado, including:

We’ve seen the fear in our clients’ eyes—and we’ve stood with them in court, helping them find their footing again. You don’t have to face this alone.

Understanding Colorado’s Criminal System

Colorado’s laws are constantly evolving. At Wolf Law, we stay up to date on every nuance because those details can change the outcome of your case.

For example:

  • Colorado no longer uses the death penalty. That means even the most serious cases have life-centered sentencing outcomes.
  • Misdemeanors have been overhauled—now split into just two classes instead of three, plus a unique structure for traffic offenses.
  • Drug charges are classified separately, with distinct penalty ranges for felony and misdemeanor drug offenses.

Jeff Wolf is not just any attorney—he’s a trusted legal analyst who’s been featured on Court TV, Law & Crime, and numerous media outlets for his insight on complex criminal cases. When you hire Wolf Law, you’re getting a voice that Colorado and the national legal community trusts as part of the team.

What Happens After You’re Charged in Colorado?

Whether you were arrested for a DUI or accused of a violent crime, here’s a general idea of what happens next:

  1. Arrest and Booking
  2. Bond Hearing (in Colorado, everyone but first-degree murder defendants is guaranteed a bond—it’s about whether you can afford it, not whether you’re eligible)
  3. First Appearance / Arraignment
  4. Discovery and Motions
  5. Negotiation or Trial

Each step matters. The sooner we get involved, the more options we have to protect your rights, challenge the evidence, and negotiate the best possible outcome.

What Sets Wolf Law Apart

  • Local Expertise: We know the judges, DAs, and courts throughout Colorado—including Denver, Jefferson, Adams, Douglas, Boulder, Broomfield and Arapahoe Counties (more commonly referred to as the Denver Metro Area).
  • Personal Attention: You won’t be passed off to other attorneys. The lawyer you hire will be the lawyer that works your case with a full team at their disposal behind the scenes.
  • Trusted Reputation: From TV legal commentary to courtroom results, Wolf Law is known for fighting hard and fighting smart.

Wolf Law Saved My Career

I’m a college student in a highly prestigious nursing school. After a night of drinking, my now ex-girlfriend and I got into a heated argument that landed me with domestic violence charges. I thought my career was over and the tens of thousands of dollars I spent on multiple years of school were all for nothing. However, Mr. Wolf was able to get two of my three charges dismissed altogether (one of them being the most serious) without us even walking into the courtroom. When we got to court, he was able to get me a deferred sentence–the best possible scenario. All in all, Wolf Law is hands-down the best in the Denver area. They are the reason I can still pursue my career goals.

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!

My Case

Jeffrey handle my domestic case with sympathy and understanding. He reviewed all the facts and found that l was actually the victim in his opinion and never should have been put in the position l found myself. He reviewed his findings/opinion with the DA and got my case dismissed. Jeffrey was very thorough, sympathetic and a pleasure to work with. I would highly recommend him.

Incredible Representation

I cant say enough positive things about my experience with Jeff Wolf. This was my first time needing a lawyer for representation, and Jeff made me feel informed and secure throughout the whole process. I couldn’t have asked for a better person on my side. He was able to navigate me thru a stressful time and it meant the world to me. He was great with DA; calm, but firm and determined to get me the best possible result. Also, the presiding judge clearly thought highly of Jeff Wolf. I would highly recommend Jeff Wolf to anyone looking for legal representation.

Jeff Wolf Cares About You as a Person

Jeff Wolf is extremely timely, reliable, and efficient. He cares about you as more than just another case, he cares about you as a person. Jeff worked with me on my out-of-state case and went above and beyond to ensure that I received the best possible outcome.

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.

Mr. Jeff Wolf was a pleasure to work with. He did an excellent job representing my case. He walked me through the whole process answered all of my questions and concerns.

Definitely will be recommending Jeff Wolf Law to family and friends.

Great Attorney

I contacted Mr. Wolf through a reference from a separate out-of-county attorney’s office. I was very pleased with his professional attitude and staff, but mostly the results he was able to achieve for my case. I would definitely recommend Jeff and hire him again if I ever need to.

I Was Lucky to Have Jeff Represent Me

After a referral from a friend, I was lucky enough to have Jeff represent me in a domestic violence case. I found Jeff to be extremely professional and experienced in his field. This being my first experience with the court system, he took the time to explain the process and my options in terms I could understand. I never felt like he was forcing me to take one option over another, he clearly explained each one and, while giving his recommendation, left it up to me as to which decision I felt would be the best for me and my family.

I am very pleased with the outcome of my case and would highly recommend Jeff to anyone in this situation.
