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.

Best possible outcome!

I was facing felony assault charges for an altercation I got into and needed an attorney. It was self defense but the DA was not seeing it that way. After calling around I found Wolf law and spoke with Colleen Kelley on the phone about my case. From the get go she was very professional and I could tell that she truly cares for her clients and their rights and wants to get the best possible outcome. So many attorneys out there just go through the motions and take peoples money. Colleen is not one of them! She knows the law and knows your rights. She’s very experienced in these types of cases and it showed! We took this case all the way to trial and Colleen was nothing short of exceptional in court! She left no stone unturned and was 110% prepared when my trial date came around. She also did an exceptional job preparing me for trial. I felt very confident going into trial because Colleen was in my corner. Communication was great throughout the whole process. Needless to say we got the result we were looking for and I was found not guilty on all counts. I will forever be grateful to Colleen for her services and I am thankful that I chose her to represent me. If you’re looking for a top notch attorney, pick up the phone and call Colleen!

Outstanding Results

I have contracted Cassandra twice now and both times had outstanding results. In the first case she got the results I tried to obtain with ease. When I spoke on my own behalf to the district attorney they wouldn’t budge in any way. Once Cassandra was involved it was like watching a master at work. She stated the facts and provided evidence to back her argument in my situation and actually got better results then I initially wanted. Then in a second unexpected turn of events she yet again worked her magic. She remained real with me the entire time and explained the reality of the situation and prepared me for the worst while still working hard to achieve the best results and let me tell you she far beyond exceeded expectations. Her hard work and perseverance caused unheard of result and I couldn’t be more satisfied. Throughout the entire process she never misled me, always remained patient and understanding; she always listened and always made sure to go the extra mile to make sure things went as planned. I was never charged with surprise fees or felt taken advantage of financially in any way. What I paid for the service and commitment to my case is unheard of in this day and age. I would recommend Cassandra and Wolf Law to anyone I know who is having legal troubles. You will not be disappointed! Sincerely thank you again to Cassandra and Wolf Law for everything you have done.

Helped Me Through a Rough Time!

I became quite the habitual traffic offender with two speeding tickets and one ticket with two charges totaling 12 points. Jeff brought the 12-pointer down to a 3-pointer and a small fine, and saved my license with the two other tickets at bay. I had a lot of trauma at the time of the tickets, and he not once judged me. He is quick to respond to a call or email or text and walks you through each process. I am so glad I listened to earlier reviews because he made this process so much easier. I would definitely recommend him to anyone dealing with similar infractions and problems!

— Tiffany

5 Stars

Was super helpful and always available anytime that I reached out. He was thorough and did everything that he could to help me out with my high BAC case. There isn’t a silver bullet out there and you likely won’t be lucky enough that somehow the charges go away, so your best bet is to sit with a consultation with Jeff and get your legal defense going ASAP as you work on the items that you can control (education/therapy/MADD panel) and let him handle the court items

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.

The best lawyer you could ever hire !!!

Jeffrey Wolf is the best lawyer you could ever hire. He most definitely went way above and beyond the call of duty for me and my case. I’m sure that some of you have hired other lawyers in the past and it seemed like they drug their heels, and wouldn’t return calls, which made you feel that they didn’t care about you.

As far as I’m concerned that will never happen to you if you hire Jeffrey Wolf. He treated me like I was either his best friend or a member of his family, that’s how I felt dealing with him. I honestly looked forward to his calls. He seems like a super cool/good guy. If I lived in Colorado I would be honored to even hang out sometime, maybe shoot some pool, go bowling, ect just have fun. But the most important thing as far as business goes he got an amazing result for me in the case he represented me for. If yall don’t hire Jeffrey as your attorney then you’re making a HUGE mistake that you will probably regret the rest of your life. Again tyvvvvvvvm Jeffrey Wolf for taking care of me. You are the best.

Professional and Knowledgeable

I cannot be happier with Jeffrey Wolf’s representation in my court case. He was very direct, no time wasted. Very professional, and above all very knowledgeable and qualified as an attorney. I was facing felony charges that were unfounded and Mr. Wolf saw the truth immediately, believed in me despite the allegations and got all charges dismissed. He always kept me informed and current with his progress, and offered very sound advice. I also would consider him a friend as well. I highly recommend Mr. Wolf to anyone needing serious legal counsel.

— Bill F.

Case Dismissed

I contacted Wolf Law to represent and guide me through legal troubles caused by an unfortunate night of events. I was put in contact with Ms Monahan who was very thorough in explaining the process and was able to file a last minute overseas trip and get court approval for several out of state work trips while the case was still pending. This allowed me to maintain my job responsibilities without awkward conversations or interruptions.

Just months after the incident, Ms Monahan and Wolf Law were able to get the case dismissed and the records sealed. I certainly hope and intend on never needing to call Wolf Law again but if I had to, I would not hesitate to call them again.
