Colorado Criminal Defense Services

A courtroom scene set in Colorado, with a judge, attorneys, and jury present

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:

DUI and DWAI
Domestic violence
Drug crimes (with their own distinct felony/misdemeanor classes in Colorado)
Assault and violent crimes
Theft, burglary, and property crimes
Weapons charges
Juvenile offenses
Probation violations
Sex Crimes
Sealing or expunging criminal records

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:

Arrest and Booking
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)
First Appearance / Arraignment
Discovery and Motions
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).

Trusted Reputation: From TV legal commentary to courtroom results, Wolf Law is known for fighting hard and fighting smart.

Testimonials

Professional. Attentive. Experienced. Successful.

I was referred to Jeff by one of my friends who was recently represented by Wolf Law in his DUI case; I will be forever grateful for that recommendation. Jeff made this extremely stressful process feel much more manageable from start to finish. He was always responsive and highly communicative, even throughout my barrage of anxiety driven questioning. He was a maestro in the courtroom and was able to get me the absolute minimum penalties. He even got certain areas of my very unique case dismissed – saving me thousands of dollars in the process. While I hope I never have to, I will surely be recommending Wolf Law as DUI representation to any of my friends and family in the future.

The Best!

Jeff is very professional, knowledgeable, and as good of a lawyer as there is. I had a restraining order full of false allegations, and Jeff got everything dismissed. Even though it was a restraining order, Jeff treated my case as important as any other case. Thanks, Jeff!

Complete Professionals

This law firm is the true example of professionalism. They are very responsive, very up front and extremely respectful. Colleen is an amazing attorney who truly enjoys what she does. 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.

Wow

Unfortunately, I have required an attorney more than a few times. That said, Jeff is the most intelligent, competent, compassionate, committed, aggressive representation to be found, without a doubt. Facing a felony DUI, no proof of insurance, careless driving and cruelty to animals (my dog gets more love than most people in the world), followed by two DURs (driving under revocation), I pretty much felt I was screwed. After hiring and firing two attorneys, I called Jeff. Note: Do your research before you waste money, and do whatever it takes to get the money for proper representation. I met with Jeff based on his peer reviews, client reviews, education and experience; all of them positive and 100 percent accurate. Twenty minutes into the consultation, all my built-up stress and anxiety had been significantly reduced. I thought my driving privileges were over for a while. Jeff showed me what I needed to do to get a restricted license, which I was able to do within a few days. Following that he made two DURs, jail time offenses, turn into one zero-point traffic violation. Then, one year to the date of my run-in with the law, Jeff and I went to trial. The no insurance charge was dropped. I was insured. The cruelty to animals charge was dropped after the first day of trial. On the second day, I was found not guilty of DUI, DWAI and careless driving. The time, effort and determination Jeff put in was clear, and his strategies and trial skills were clearly superb. No better counsel can be found in my opinion.

Great Lawyer

I am very pleased with the outcome of my court case. Colleen Kelley kept me informed on the various process and was successful in removing my name from sex offender registry. I highly recommend Colleen Kelley if you need a lawyer.

Wolf Review

I hired Jeff Wolf to represent me in a DUI case where I was charged, but was not the one that was driving the vehicle. From the very beginning I felt that I was in good hands because he made me secure in the fact I was innocent and that, though I was drunk, I did not do anything against the law. Every time I emailed him, I received a response immediately. I felt that he knew the system well, and how to handle this “game” of law. When he had to deal with a health emergency, he made me aware of my options and what he thought would be my best choice, which was being represented for court by another attorney that knew my case inside and out. He just called me this past Monday to let me know my case was dismissed! I would recommend Jeff Wolf to anyone being charged with anything in Colorado. He knows the laws of Colorado and will keep it real with the possible outcomes of your case.

Here’s a Lawyer You can Trust

I found myself threatened with life-changing accusations, and Jeff Wolf was there for me. Kept me up to date every step of the way and really helped relieve the stress of going through something so awful. 100 percent worth every penny.

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!
