Types of Criminal Charges We Defend

Wolf Law handles a wide range of criminal matters in and around Commerce City. Below are just a few of the most common charges we see—and how we can help.

DUI & DWAI Charges

Commerce City police and Colorado State Patrol are vigilant about impaired driving. If you’re charged with DUI, DWAI, or DUI per se, you need immediate legal help. A conviction can result in jail time, license suspension, ignition interlock devices, and skyrocketing insurance rates.

At Wolf Law, we understand Colorado’s express consent laws and how to challenge field sobriety tests, breathalyzer results, and police procedures. We’ve helped clients in Commerce City and beyond retain their driving privileges and avoid harsh penalties.

Assault & Violent Crimes

Assault charges in Colorado range from misdemeanor third-degree assault to felony first-degree assault. Many cases stem from bar fights, domestic disputes, or misunderstandings that quickly escalate.

If you’re facing assault charges in Commerce City, we’ll investigate all aspects of the case, including self-defense claims, witness credibility, and police conduct. Our goal is to minimize or eliminate the impact of the charges on your life.

Domestic Violence

A domestic violence (DV) accusation carries serious social and legal consequences—even before a conviction. In Commerce City, police must arrest the accused if there’s probable cause, and a protective order is typically issued immediately.

We defend against both misdemeanor and felony DV charges and help clients navigate the collateral consequences, such as gun restrictions and child custody implications. Learn more on our Domestic Violence Defense page.

Drug Possession & Distribution

Colorado has decriminalized some drugs, but drug offenses are still aggressively prosecuted—especially in Adams County. Whether you’ve been charged with simple possession of a controlled substance or drug distribution, we can help.

We examine every angle, from unlawful search and seizure to lab testing accuracy. Our Commerce City clients often benefit from negotiated plea deals, reduced charges, or treatment-based alternatives.

See our Drug Crimes Defense page for more.

Juvenile Offenses

Teenagers make mistakes—but those shouldn’t define their future. If your child has been charged with theft, drug possession, underage DUI, or other offenses in Commerce City, Wolf Law offers non-judgmental, strategic juvenile defense aimed at rehabilitation and long-term success.

Probation Violations

Violating probation—even unintentionally—can land you back in jail. If you’re facing a probation violation hearing in Commerce City, our attorneys can represent you and argue for continued supervision instead of incarceration. We’ve helped many clients stay on track and avoid unnecessary punishment.

What to Expect When You Call Wolf Law

During your free consultation, we’ll listen carefully to your side of the story, explain what the charges mean, and outline possible defense strategies. You’ll speak directly with a criminal defense attorney—not a call center or junior staff member.

We’ll also help you understand:

Your rights under Colorado and federal law
What to say (and what NOT to say) to police and prosecutors
Court dates, pre-trial motions, and potential outcomes

From Commerce City Municipal Court to Adams County District Court, we provide guidance at every stage—from arrest to resolution.

Commerce City Legal System: What You Should Know

Commerce City residents facing criminal charges will typically encounter one of the following courts:

Commerce City Municipal Court: Handles traffic infractions, municipal code violations, and petty offense misdemeanors (link)
Adams County Combined Court in Brighton: Handles felonies, misdemeanors, juvenile matters, and protection orders (link)

Police reports are often filed by Commerce City PD or the Adams County Sheriff’s Office, and your case may also involve prosecutors from the 17th Judicial District or the Commerce City Attorney’s Office.

We’re familiar with all of these players—and we know how to work within (and challenge) the system.

Highly Professional

Jeffrey Wolf handled my traffic violation in a highly professional manner, giving it the same consideration and time as a more challenging case, during a very stressful time in my life. As soon as the accident happened, he was there to offer advice and help. He went to court for me, so I would not have to take time off of work to go. His care and concern for my well-being was top-notch. Thank you so much, Jeff!

I Recommend Jeff Wolf to Anyone Needing Legal Defense

I retained the services of Jeff Wolf after I received a DUI. During the free consultation, Jeff reviewed his services and the details of what would happen before, during and after my trial. He was very thorough, supportive and diligent in ensuring all my questions were answered. I am thrilled with the level of service he provided for an extremely reasonable fee. Jeff was accessible and reassuring throughout this entire process. The end-result of my hearing was exactly what I had expected based on Jeff’s counseling. This is a direct result of his knowledge and experience with the court and the system. I was very impressed with his closing presentation in court and his professionalism and felt that the judge reduced my fines and my sentence because of Jeff’s efforts. I have already recommended him to two other people and will continue to recommend him to anyone requiring the services of a defense attorney.

6-Month Jail Sentence Reduced to 90 Days

I was arrested in May 2014 for a warrant that I had since 2010 for DUR, I was facing a six month jail sentence that would have caused me to lose my business, home, as well as once again re-offend me. After countless calls and conversations and meetings with numerous attorneys I was referred to Jeffery Wolf. By simply speaking with him over the phone I felt a little at ease, until I met with him and after that I was completely at ease. He made feel the way an attorney is suppose to make a client feel. He was extremely personable, caring, honest, completely honest, and very detailed as to what his process is and what will take place in court.

On the day of my hearing Jeff arrived a little early and had me wait in the hallway while he stepped into the court room and went to bat for me. The result was a 0 point violation allowing me to keep my DL, a six-month jail sentence reduced to 90 days in-home detention, and a $67 fine, which was way more than I expected.

I highly recommend Jeff he is an excellent attorney that takes your case as serious as you do. I hope I never have to hire an attorney again but if I do without a doubt Jeffrey Wolf will be my first and only thought.

— David

Beyond the Best

Jeffrey Wolf has been a beacon of hope to me when my situation seemed limited and unlikely of a positive outcome. He represented me for a DUI and as a domestic violence victim and did a phenomenal job on both. Not only was he able to defend and represent me, but his empathetic and ethical demeanor offered hope to myself and someone I truly care about. My partner and I are eternally grateful for his service, and I hereby recommend him without hesitation since I could not imagine a better result without him representing me.

Best Possible Outcome Thanks to Wolf Law

When I walked into the office I was at a low point I can’t describe. When I talked to Jeffrey Wolf I wanted to hear, “Don’t worry, you’re going to be fine.” Instead I was told the honest truth: I was in serious trouble, but he would fight like crazy to get me the best possible outcome. After thinking about that I realized it was far better to hear the truth rather than a lawyer trying to get my business, and in the end I got exactly what Jeff said: Good advice, an excellent professional defense, and I believe the best possible outcome I could have wanted. I highly recommend Wolf Law.

— David R.

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.
