Charles Greenwood attended the University of Colorado in Boulder for both his undergraduate and law degrees. For several years, he worked as a District Attorney before becaming dissatisfied with the justice system. It became clear to him that locking people away and ruining lives did nothing to help anyone and only caused unecessary pain to those charged. He decided to open his own defense firm and has been a tireless advocate ever since.
Charles has experience with every type of criminal case in almost every courthouse on the Denver area including DUIs, assaults, drug cases, car thefts, domestic violence, and even homicides. He has tried over 60 cases to a jury, winning over 80% as well as 100% of the appeals he authored.
