Denver Sex Offender Deregistration Attorney

If you’ve been convicted of sex-related crimes in Colorado, you’re aware of the requirement to register as a sex offender with local law enforcement agencies. The same is true if the act was committed in another state and you later moved to Colorado.

Colorado’s Sex Offender Deregistration Laws

You must register annually on your birthday and when you move. The registration requirement remains in effect until the court relieves you of this obligation. You must petition the court to be allowed to deregister from the sex-offender list and they must rule in your favor.

If you believe you may be eligible to deregister from Colorado’s sex offender list, you need to be aware of the law, the process and the type of case you must build. This is difficult to successfully manage without the help of a Denver criminal defense attorney trained and experienced in this area.

Colorado law allows for a person to submit a petition for deregistration after a certain period of time has elapsed following the completion of any sentence or probation. The time period depends on the category of the crime:

Sex Offense Conviction	When You can Petition for Deregistration
Class 1, 2 or 3 felony	20 years
Class 4, 5 or 6 felony	10 years
Class 1 Misdemeanor	10 years
Other Misdemeanor	5 Years
Deferred Sentence or Adjudication	After the successful completion and dismissal of the case
If under 18 years of age when adjudicated	After successful completion and discharge from the sentence

Exceptions to Deregistration Eligibility

There is no opportunity to deregister for the following types of unlawful sexual behavior:

Persons determined to be sexually violent predators as defined by state law
Persons convicted as an adult of first or second-degree sexual assault
Persons convicted as an adult of sexual assault on a child
Psychotherapists convicted of sexual assault on a client
Persons convicted of incest
Persons with repeat offenses in the same jurisdiction

Petitioning the Court for Deregistration

Remember… only the courts can relieve you of the registration obligation. You cannot stop registering after the specified time period. Presenting your deregistration case to the court is a complex and sensitive matter. It requires significant case analysis and preparation even before the petition process begins.

Wolf Law founder and managing partner Jeff Wolf was featured in a 9News story about a man who was recently convicted in a Denver court of sexual assault, but has so far failed to register as a sex offender:

Wonderful Experience with Colleen Kelley

I recently had the pleasure of becoming Colleen Kelley’s client. Even despite the terrible circumstances of fighting wrongful criminal charges, Colleen provided a supportive and pleasant experience during this process. Thankfully, I was introduced to Colleen through another attorney. She took my case on short notice and started working on my behalf in less than 24 hours by showing up to court the day after I secured her services.

She was diligent in her research, communication, and pursuit of justice. In just three short months, my case was dismissed. During this three-month nightmare, Colleen provided clarity and assurance along the way. While Colleen was very thorough in regards to every possible outcome I might experience, her professionalism and devotion to this case made it clear that the outcomes would be outstanding from day one. I’m so thankful that I found Colleen to represent me. I would highly recommend her services.

I Was Lucky to Have Jeff Represent Me

After a referral from a friend, I was lucky enough to have Jeff represent me in a domestic violence case. I found Jeff to be extremely professional and experienced in his field. This being my first experience with the court system, he took the time to explain the process and my options in terms I could understand. I never felt like he was forcing me to take one option over another, he clearly explained each one and, while giving his recommendation, left it up to me as to which decision I felt would be the best for me and my family.

I am very pleased with the outcome of my case and would highly recommend Jeff to anyone in this situation.

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.

Professional and Honest

I was worried about looking for a lawyer because I have never done so before, but Jeff Wolf made it super easy for me and I couldn’t have been more happy with his services. He called me anytime something happened with my case or needed anything from me. He got me out of a 10 day jail sentence which really helped me since I started school this week. Honestly it was nothing but a professional and honest experience.

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!

When I first spoke with Jeff, he helped put me at ease and on the path to a resolution. Jeff promptly informed me of each new development in the case, while being sympathetic to my situation and advocating on my behalf. I’m incredibly satisfied with the result of the case and the speed at which Jeff achieved that outcome. Jeff was able to rectify a life changing event to just be a bump in the road.
