Colorado Criminal Law: What You Should Know
If you’ve been charged with a crime in Lakewood, you’re subject to Colorado’s statewide criminal statutes. But how those laws are enforced can vary significantly depending on the county—and that’s where local experience matters most.
Important Legal Facts:
- Everyone is entitled to bond in Colorado unless charged with first-degree murder. If you or a loved one is in jail, we’ll help get you released fast—and work to keep you out.
- Misdemeanor classes have changed in Colorado. There are now two classes instead of three, and domestic violence cases fall under their own unique procedures.
- Drug crimes are handled separately, with different penalties and plea options compared to traditional felonies or misdemeanors.
- The death penalty has been abolished in Colorado, altering sentencing expectations in the most serious cases.
These changes affect how we build your defense, negotiate plea deals, and argue for alternatives to jail time—like diversion, treatment, or deferred judgment programs.
What Happens After a Criminal Charge in Lakewood?
Whether you were arrested at your home, during a traffic stop, or after a police investigation, you’re now entering Colorado’s criminal justice system. Here’s what typically happens next:
1. Booking and Initial Detention
You’ll likely be booked into the Jefferson County Detention Facility in Golden. If bond is required, we’ll work quickly to argue for a fair amount.
2. Bond Hearing
At this hearing, we advocate for your release under the best possible conditions. In Colorado, your eligibility for bond is not in question—it’s whether you can afford it.
3. First Appearance / Arraignment
This is when the court formally tells you the charges and sets future dates. Having an attorney here is essential to protect your rights from the beginning.
4. Discovery and Pretrial Strategy
We dig into the evidence, question the prosecution’s case, and file motions to suppress weak or illegally obtained evidence.
5. Resolution (Plea Deal or Trial)
Depending on your goals and the facts, we’ll negotiate or go to trial. Wolf Law’s attorneys are seasoned courtroom litigators, and we prepare every case like it’s going to trial—even if it doesn’t.
Real-Life Impact Requires Real Defense
Criminal charges in Lakewood don’t just threaten your freedom—they affect:
- Your driver’s license (especially in DUI cases)
- Your job and professional reputation
- Your right to possess firearms
- Your ability to remain in your home (domestic violence protection orders)
- Your immigration status
Wolf Law provides comprehensive legal support—not just court representation. We help clients navigate DMV hearings, comply with bond conditions, and resolve issues involving protection orders or background checks.
