Facing Criminal Charges in Denver? Here’s What You’re Up Against.
When you’re charged with a crime in Denver, everything can feel overwhelming: police reports, court dates, bond hearings, paperwork, fear. It’s tempting to shut down or hope things will just work out.
They won’t—not without a defense attorney who knows what they’re doing.
At Wolf Law, we handle cases in Denver County Court and the Second Judicial District Court every day. We know the prosecutors, the judges, the courtroom procedures—and we know how to fight back.
We represent clients in a wide range of criminal matters, including:
- DUI and DWAI (blood or breath test, first-time or repeat offenses)
- Domestic violence charges (including mandatory protection orders)
- Drug crimes (which have their own felony/misdemeanor classification under Colorado law)
- Theft, burglary, and criminal mischief
- Assault and harassment
- Juvenile offenses
- Weapons charges
- Probation violations
- Sealing or expunging criminal records
- Sex Crimes
Whether you’re facing a Class 2 misdemeanor or a high-level felony, your rights and reputation are worth defending.

How Colorado Criminal Law Works—And Why It Matters
Understanding the structure of Colorado’s criminal laws helps us build smart, aggressive defenses. For example:
- Misdemeanors were overhauled in recent years, reducing three classes to two. That affects sentencing ranges, plea deals, and what’s on the table in your case.
- Drug crimes are handled separately from other offenses, with their own penalty structure—critical when negotiating charges or arguing for alternatives like treatment.
- The death penalty has been abolished in Colorado, changing the stakes in high-level violent cases.
- Bond laws guarantee your release unless you’re charged with first-degree murder. It’s not about if you qualify for release—it’s whether you can afford it. We’ll help you through bond hearings and pretrial strategy right away.
This is the kind of detail that can change a case. And it’s the kind of detail Wolf Law knows intimately.
What to Expect After a Criminal Charge in Denver
Here’s how a typical case unfolds in Denver County:
1. Arrest and Booking
Once you’re taken into custody, you’ll be fingerprinted, photographed, and formally processed.
2. Bond Hearing
Colorado guarantees a bond for almost all charges except first-degree murder. We can appear at your bond hearing and argue for the lowest possible amount.
3. First Appearance and Arraignment
This is where the charges are read. Do not do this alone. Having legal counsel by this stage can significantly improve your odds.
4. Discovery and Pretrial Motions
We’ll review the evidence, file motions to suppress or dismiss, and begin building your defense strategy.
5. Plea Deal or Trial
If the state offers a plea, we’ll help you weigh the pros and cons. If trial is your best option, Jeff Wolf and Colleen Kelley are seasoned courtroom litigators who know how to win over judges and juries.
How We Help Beyond the Courtroom
At Wolf Law, we understand that criminal charges come with real-world consequences beyond the legal penalties.
- Will this affect your job or professional license?
