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.

We represent clients in a wide range of criminal matters, including:

Whether you’re facing a Class 2 misdemeanor or a high-level felony, your rights and reputation are worth defending.

What Sets Wolf Law Apart in Denver?

Plenty of law firms claim to handle criminal cases. But not every firm brings the same local insight, personal attention, and reputation to the courtroom.

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?
  • Are there immigration concerns?
  • Will you lose your driver’s license after a DUI?
  • Is there a no-contact order preventing you from going home?

We help clients handle all of it. From license hearings with the DMV to navigating protection orders, we’re here for the whole journey—not just the trial.

  • You’ll be heard. We listen to your side of the story and craft a defense that reflects your truth.
  • You’ll be informed. We’ll walk you through every step and never leave you guessing.

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.

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.

— Jeremy

Excellent

I had Jeff work on two cases of mine. Very professional and very understanding. Outstanding communication and advice. I would highly recommend Mr. Wolf to anyone seeking legal help.

Services with Jeff

Jeff accepted a traffic violation case with not a ton of time to prepare. He provided clear instructions on how to proceed with the initial hearing in order for this individual to receive an extension and time to gain attorney representation. From there, he continued take the extra steps necessary to not only communicate effectively and clearly but also provide a level of advocacy that was necessary for this vulnerable individual! Thanks Jeff — Your work, patience and understanding is greatly appreciated!

— Nicole Young

Highly Recommended!

Mr. Wolf is an incredible attorney to work with. My father and I have spent some time over the past 10 years with him, and have always seen fantastic results from different types of situations. He is very intelligent, honest, and diligent about any work brought his way.

I highly recommend Mr. Wolf and will call him first, anytime I need legal advice or representation!

Thank you Jeff!

Hit and Run Charges

I had multiple charges stacked against me by the CSP office for a questionable “hit and run” in my office parking lot. Jeff reviewed the video evidence and was able to get the charges reduced from 26 points against my driver’s license down to 4. He was also able to get the fines reduced to the minimum amount! Jeff was extremely knowledgeable and helped ease my fears each time we spoke and explained the whole process and what to expect along the way. Thank you, Jeff!

— Jim M.

Working with Mr. Wolf

I cannot speak high enough of Mr. Jeffrey Wolf! He was very pleasant to work with and explained each step of the journey from start to the final video teleconference with the judge. He negotiated a much lower sentence with the DA from DUI to DWAI. He reiterated several points that were then considered by the judge and taken into account in deciding my sentence. He was always prompt in any communications and worked tirelessly on my case to get a very favorable outcome for me. I would whole-heartedly recommend Mr. Wolf as you can be ensured it felt like I was an individual that truly mattered to him and his practice. From the very first phone call, I had nothing but respect for him and felt I was in good hands, that he then proved! You can’t go wrong with Mr. Jeffrey Wolf!

Very pleased with service

Ms. Monahan was professional, answered all my questions, and ended up achieving the desired outcome. I highly recommend her personally and Wolf Law.

— R.N.

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.

Wolf Law Saved My Career

I’m a college student in a highly prestigious nursing school. After a night of drinking, my now ex-girlfriend and I got into a heated argument that landed me with domestic violence charges. I thought my career was over and the tens of thousands of dollars I spent on multiple years of school were all for nothing. However, Mr. Wolf was able to get two of my three charges dismissed altogether (one of them being the most serious) without us even walking into the courtroom. When we got to court, he was able to get me a deferred sentence–the best possible scenario. All in all, Wolf Law is hands-down the best in the Denver area. They are the reason I can still pursue my career goals.
