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.

Great Attorney

I contacted Mr. Wolf through a reference from a separate out-of-county attorney’s office. I was very pleased with his professional attitude and staff, but mostly the results he was able to achieve for my case. I would definitely recommend Jeff and hire him again if I ever need to.

Fantastic Law Firm – Take it From an Attorney

I have been an attorney for 18 years. I have seen Jeff Wolf in court handle a large variety of criminal defense and protection order matters with the highest degree of professionalism and effectiveness. Jeff is not only intelligent and incredibly timely and efficient, but also carries a wide scope of wisdom and experience; there is nothing he has not seen.

I know if I refer friends or clients to him, they will be in strong capable hands with an attorney who truly cares and is a great advisor. I have also seen Colleen Kelley in major felony hearings in court and she is a force to be reckoned with.

When I needed an attorney for my own legal situation, I retained Jeff and his firm. I witnessed first-hand how competent and reassuring Jeff and Collen are as attorneys and counselors, but from the perspective of a client. Superb attorneys, but also the best people. When I am unable to accept a criminal case, I often refer the potential client to the Wolf Law LLC.

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!

Mr. Wolf Blew My Expectations Out of the Water

After recently facing two relatively serious traffic violations, Mr. Wolf was able to obtain an outcome for my case that far exceeded my expectations. From the initial consultation onward, Jeff was extremely professional, punctual, and confident. Jeff clearly defined our objectives and provided me with some serious peace of mind. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Mr. Wolf’s services to any family member or friend in need and couldn’t be more pleased with his representation!

Jeffrey Wolf is an Exceptional Defense Attorney

From my very first conversation, I knew that I was in good hands being represented by Jeffrey Wolf. He was extremely honest about my situation and gave me clarity about possible and likely outcomes, never sugarcoating anything. Mr. Wolf has excellent communication skills as he explained all the aspects of my case to me in great detail. He skillfully navigated me through the most difficult and stressful event of my entire life while always exhibiting concern for my personal wellbeing throughout the process.

I couldn’t have asked for a better attorney to represent me. Mr. Wolf was great during negotiations with the DA, great in the court room (which was always done via WebEx), always very calm and confident, but firm and never let himself get pushed around by anyone. As a result, Mr. Wolf negotiated a much lower sentence with the DA which allowed me to avoid prison time enabling me to be home with my wife and continue watching out for my 91 years old father.
Thank you, Mr. Wolf!

Incredible Defense with the Perfect Outcome

When I was arrested at a concert hall for trespassing and placed in a detox center it didn’t feel right. I had confronted the police in order to find out why they where arresting somebody I knew and within seconds of my questioning I was in cuffs and associated with a crime that I seemingly had nothing to do with.

When I was released from detox I thought it was over but then I understood that I had to appear in court and my previously clean record was facing the documentation of a criminal charge. I wanted to try to keep my record clean and with some help I hired Wolf Law.

Given the relative simplicity of my case I only had to meet at the office of Jeffrey Wolf a handful of times. From the first visit I could tell that Jeffery was very professional and very serious. As more of my case was revealed and in consecutive meetings I could tell that Jeffery was building a strong defense.

While he couldn’t promise me any certain outcome his resolve to defend me as strongly as he possibly could was obvious. On my first court date, before much of the details of my case where known, I was accompanied by Jeffrey Wolf’s associate lawyer Colleen Kelley. Colleen defended me with a skillful amount of experience and made it possible for Wolf Law and me to buy more time and obtain the legal information required to build a defense.

On my second court date, after having met several times, I was accompanied by Jeffrey. Jeffrey told me to wait outside the courtroom and I complied. After roughly 20 minutes he reappeared to me with a welcoming smile and gave me the good news that he had gotten my cased dropped.

I’m not quite sure what he did in those 20 minutes but I can say with satisfaction that it was an amazing job. I felt, with fingers crossed, that it was a possibility that my case would be dropped but when it actually happened I almost couldn’t believe it. I’m very thankful for the work and service that was provided by Wolf Law. For them I have the utmost respect and my recommendation to anyone needing legal service goes to them with 100% certainty in their ability to promise and do their best.

Jeff Helped Me Feel Safe Again

I would highly recommend attorney Jeffrey Wolf. He consistently demonstrates knowledge and professionalism, both in and out of the courtroom. His expertise helped me to understand the legal process.
