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:

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.

Here’s what makes Wolf Law different:

✔ Deep Local Knowledge

We’ve defended clients across every corner of Denver—from LoDo to the Highlands, Washington Park to Green Valley Ranch. We understand the people, the neighborhoods, and the legal dynamics at play in Denver.

✔ Respected, Nationally-Recognized Legal Analyst

Jeff Wolf isn’t just an attorney—he’s a trusted commentator on high-profile criminal cases, regularly featured on Court TVLaw & Crime, and other national media. His courtroom strategies and legal insights are recognized by both the public and peers across the country.

✔ We Care About Our Clients

This isn’t just about court dates and paperwork. It’s about your job, your family, your reputation. At Wolf Law, we treat every client with the respect and attention they deserve. You won’t be passed off to a junior associate or paralegal—you’ll work directly with Jeff Wolf, Colleen Kelley, and our trusted legal team.

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.

Our Promise to Every Denver Client

  • 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.
  • You’ll be protected. We’ll fight to minimize or eliminate charges, protect your rights, and secure your future.

I Will Definitely Hire Mr. Wolf Again

I turned to Wolf Law for help after a small bumper ding in a Starbucks parking lot escalated once the Denver PD was involved. Jeff expertly stepped in to keep the matter from getting any more complex, including speaking with a Denver Police Officer who seemed intent on imposing the most severe charges possible. Jeff continued his zealous representation of my case in Traffic Court where he worked out a reduction in the ticket with the Denver City Attorney and also eloquently explained the situation and the facts at hand to the judge, resulting in a reduction in the fine. Wolf Law exceeded my expectations on this case and managed to keep me calm about the severity of the charges throughout the process. I would highly recommend Wolf Law to anyone and everyone, and if I ever have the need, I will definitely hire Mr. Wolf again.

Amazing law firm

I am so glad I came across this law firm. I was fighting a domestic violence case and needed some assistance immediately. I picked up the phone and called Wolf Law and was treated like family from that moment on. Cole took my call and got me right to Jeff Wolf during that call so I can attain his services asap. Mr. Wolf went above and beyond and got me on his busy schedule to discuss the case and explain the legal process to me. Mr. Wolf stayed in constant contact throughout the case, providing updates as he received them so I knew how the case was going to proceed. I’m happy to say with all his effects and knowledge of the law we beat the case, I’m forever grateful of his services. I couldn’t have found a better firm to represent me.

My Case

Jeffrey handle my domestic case with sympathy and understanding. He reviewed all the facts and found that l was actually the victim in his opinion and never should have been put in the position l found myself. He reviewed his findings/opinion with the DA and got my case dismissed. Jeffrey was very thorough, sympathetic and a pleasure to work with. I would highly recommend him.

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

Would Have Been Lost Without Wolf Law

I was charged with my first DUI and was referred to Jeff by a friend of mine. He gave me a realistic expectation of what would happen and is an expert at navigating the process. Jeff is always incredibly quick to respond and is very knowledgeable. He is professional and represented me well in the courtroom. The experience of being charged with a DUI is a terrible, humiliating and challenging event – having an experienced attorney was priceless!

Excellent Representation!

Jeff was with me from Day 1 after getting pulled over for an accused DUI charge. Jeff’s knowledge of the process and responsiveness to my questions, concerns were impressive. His professionalism to me and in court was excellent. Jeff truly made this stressful and emotionally taxing situation 100 times better. I am grateful he was referred to me. I would definitely recommend Jeff if ever faced with a driving-related charge. Jeff will be my first call in the future for any legal counsel (which hopefully, is never again).
