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.

Testimonials

Outstanding, professional and easy to work with

I had the privilege of working with Colleen and Jeff at Wolf Law, and they exceeded every expectation I had. From the very first conversation, both attorneys were incredibly responsive, clear, and genuinely invested in my situation. They explained everything in plain English, kept me updated at every step, and fought hard to get the best possible outcome for me.

Their professionalism, attention to detail, and calm guidance through what could have been a very stressful process made all the difference. I truly felt like I had a dedicated team on my side, not just another law firm.

I would and will recommend Wolf Law without hesitation to anyone in need of trusted, skilled legal representation in Colorado. Thank you both!

— Eric R.

Good Outcome

Mr. Wolf offered excellent service, fast responses and prompt communication. I was so relieved that he was willing and able to take my case. He and his team are very professional and got me the best possible outcome.

I Couldn’t Have Asked for a Better Lawyer

Until the night of my DUI, I had never been in trouble before so one could only imagine how scared I was. Facing a DUI with a possible felony/assault charge, I honestly wasn’t sure how I was going to get through it all. I happened to find Jeffrey Wolf through another lawyer. After meeting with him in person, I knew immediately that he was going to help me. I was a complete wreck from day 1 and yet he made me feel at ease with every meeting, phone call and court appearance.

One of the traits I appreciated most was his honesty. Mr. Wolf told me straight up from the beginning what could happen and what I was facing but reassured me that he would do everything he could to get me through it with the best outcome. Having him there with me through this process and through every court appearance with him by my side made it easier to handle and I am so grateful to have worked with him. At the end of it all, I was able to get probation with a deferred judgment on my case. I would absolutely refer Mr. Wolf to any of my friends and/or family!

Sex offender deregistration

Colleen Kelly and her team, supported me and guided me through the process of getting off the registration . I had attempted over the years to do this on my own and at one point hired another attorney to assist me. These efforts were futile, I ended up with unnecessary years ( decades ) of suffering financially, humiliating encounters with personal relationships, landlords, employers, churches and other organizations.
Colleen and team were very professional and knew the steps that I needed to go through to get the job done. I would highly recommend Wolf Law, for their professionalism and caring.

— Alvin

Clear, honest & delivered

From the beginning Cassandra was honest and gave me confidence and clarity about possible and likely outcomes. She worked closely with prosecution to get me the best outcome available and succeeded in doing so. For a straightforward, honest, and hardworking firm that advocates on your behalf I recommend Wolf Law.

The BEST person to have at your side

When I sat in my car that day, fear twisting into nausea, frantically scrolling through an endless sea of lawyer ads. I had no idea who to trust. I chose Jeff. He looked like an angry guard dog—and in that moment, I needed that.

Over the next three years, I learned he was far more than that. He never gave false hope; anything he told me, he could defend. I paid him once—one upfront fee—and he stayed with me the entire three years. He called with updates, stayed on top of every detail, and fought for me at every turn.

I can’t say your case will be like mine, but the fear and terror I lived with for three years were dramatically reduced by having Jeff in my corner. I’d never been in a legal situation before. He guided me with expertise, calmness, and total honesty. Looking back on that version of me frantic, in my car, hiring Jeff Wolf was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made.

And that angry guard dog look? It hides a genuinely warm and caring person.
