At Wolf Law, we know that being charged with a crime in Colorado can turn your world upside down. Whether it’s a DUI in Denver, a domestic violence allegation in Arapahoe County, or a felony charge in Jefferson County, one thing is certain: you need help—and fast.

Our mission is simple. We defend the people of Colorado. And we do it with heart, grit, and a deep understanding of the Colorado criminal justice system.

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

From the moment you’re arrested, you’re up against prosecutors, police, and a system that’s not built to give you the benefit of the doubt. At Wolf Law, we believe every person deserves a strong defense—and a second chance.

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.

A Great Help in a Time of Turbulence

After being convicted of a DUI for marijuana, I quickly searched for an attorney. I chose to contact Wolf Law first because of the certifications and positive reviews that I saw. I am very glad that I made this choice. This was my first time in trouble with the law, so I didn’t quite know how to handle the situation, but with just a few meetings, phone calls, and emails I felt confident towards the resolution of my issues. Jeff explained everything thoroughly and made sure I knew everything I needed to know and more. I personally needed only a few meetings and talks, but I know that Jeff would be glad to meet or talk as much as necessary. He is clearly very passionate about his work and is a well of legal knowledge. I began with several charges and seeing an overwhelmingly bad outcome in my future, but as Jeff and Wolf Law fought for me, the charges faded away until only one remained and even it was reduced. I left with what I view as the best possible outcome for my given situation. Wolf Law not only helped mitigate the consequences of my mistake, but also granted me great comfort and guidance through the whole experience.

Colleen Kelley is the Best

I have hired Colleen previously and she did wonders including case dismissal. The flat rate fee is such a wonderful carefree situation. I wouldn’t trust anyone else when it comes to felony legal matters.

I Had a Great Outcome in My Case

Jeff Wolf was recommended to me by a colleague I have known since my youth. Accordingly, I met with Jeff. I also met with other attorneys in the Denver area in preparation for my legal issues. I decided to choose Jeff because I had a good feeling about him from the moment I met him and because his ethics and views regarding the vision for his legal practice were aligned with what I hoped for despite having no experience in the legal system previously.

This decision turned out to be one of the the best I have made in my life…literally. I cannot adequately express here how much Jeff’s hard work, determination, knowledge, professionalism, experience, and clear understanding of what I am certain he has a passion for (helping others beyond just being an attorney and defending clients in court) has meant for me. I think he has exceptional skills. I had a great outcome in my case due to the defense Jeff provided in court.

More importantly however, Jeff helped me manage the emotional and professional stress I felt. Jeff reassured me when I most needed reassurance, and ultimately, transform a situation I initially felt was a life changing event into a learning experience that I was able to navigate successfully through his precise and comprehensive guidance. I would recommend Jeff to any member of my family and certainly to anyone to whom his services would apply.

Very confident and competent attorney! I am very happy with Jeff

I contacted Jeff Wolf after I had some family issues that also carried potential criminal charges. I spoke with him as soon as i realized how severe the situation could be and he offered great legal advice that lead to me bringing him on as my personal attorney. The charges against me were dropped and I never had to go to trial but throughput the entire process Jeff was in touch and taking care of everything I needed. I am very happy with his services and would certainly work with him again if I was in the situation.

Responsive, Insightful, Professional and Compassionate

Jeff is not only great in the courtroom, but has a sense of caring and true passion for his profession. He takes the time to explain things with a productive attitude. I would highly recommend him and can’t thank him enough.

Jeff Wolf was Well Worth the Investment

When you get charged with a crime it is tough to deal with, mostly because you are embarrassed and disappointed with yourself for what you have done. I was charged with theft and was very worried about what type of impact that would have on my business professional career when applying for jobs. I contacted a few lawyers but knew that Jeff was the right direction to take. He made me feel more at ease knowing that people make mistakes and that this would not effect my whole life. He was very helpful and quick to respond to any questions or concerns that I had.

During my time with Jeff he made me feel very comfortable and I knew going into everything what to expect, what to say, and how to present myself. Whether you hire a lawyer or not is your own decision. But to me what Jeff was able to provide was well worth it. I literally told him my story, how I felt and what type of outcome I was looking for on the first day. Besides showing up with him to court he did everything else and took care of everything. We were sentenced to the verdict that we were looking for and now I can move forward and put this case behind me. Thanks for all your help Jeff it was much appreciated.

I Would Give Wolf Law 50 stars Out of 10 if I Could

I wanted to take a moment and give a MASSIVE THANK YOU to Wolf Law (and Colleen Kelley specifically)!

I had contacted Wolf Law recently regarding a previous offense and legal registration questions. This was for Sex Offender De-registration for the State of Colorado. After taking the time to review my case, my information, etc. etc, Wolf Law was able to take my case.

Considering the amount of time and effort involved to be removed, I am extremely grateful for Colleen Kelly/Wolf Law’s assistance in the matter.

After almost a decade, I was removed from the registry, and can now put a long chapter of my life behind me.

I would give Wolf Law 50 stars out of 10 if I could.

Again, THANK YOU Wolf Law for all your assistance and help in this matter!

I would very very very much recommend Wolf Law for your legal needs and/or situations. Please take a moment to contact them if you need to!

Amazing Results

I worked with Jeffrey on my first DUI case. I had a high BAC but instead of focusing on that, he had me focus on the things I could do before court to prepare. I did my part and he did too. 2/3 charges dropped, 1 largely reduced which prevented any jail time. I’m so thankful, highly recommend Wolf Law.

— Aaron S.
