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.

Great Attorney
Charles is enthusiastic about aggressively representing his clients. With education instilled in him, he believes in putting others in front of himself. I would like to express my gratitude to for his personal and professional help. He assisted with my case with a payment plan and a reasonable fee. Answered my call after business hours and assured me that he will be there to help. When I need a lawyer, it is important that my lawyer be accessible. I don’t want to go through an army of secretaries and leave messages before my lawyer gets back to me. He personally took my call and went above and beyond to address my concerns. He is a knowledgeable professional and a good human being. These are the most important qualities of a lawyer. This is why I will continue to turn to Charles when and if I need help. Thank you for your care and support during this difficult time! It is very much appreciated.

Very pleased
I searched this website and found Mr Greenwood at the last minute by happenstance; but boy am I glad I did. He was responsive, professional, confident in what he thought he would be able to achieve with my case and swift in getting the results he set out to get. I would recommend him 10 times over…I’m more than appreciative.

Charles defended me in a domestic case and was able to get me aquitted of felony false accusations by doing his due diligence and proving to the jury that I was clearly not at fault

Very Thankful.
I obtained Charles on an Eluding charge. He was very knowledgeable and trusting. He was able to help and walk me through the case step by step. I had minimal evidence in my favor and had doubts sometimes in regards to my freedom. He was able to argue a phenomenal defense when it came to my pending charges. I would like to say that I am very grateful for his handwork and ability to help someone like me in this time in need. In addition he was able to keep my freedom and got me away with a small fine. I highly encourage Charles to anyone in need. Thanks Again!

Charles fought for me
I was falsely accused in a domestic case. My ex girlfriend is crazy and vendictive and made marks on her neck when I wasnt there, and pressed a false felony charge. I also have prior felonies and this case was not looking so good for me. I hired Charles and he worked with me on my payments. We ended up taking this false felony charge to trial. In trial Charles was very well prepared, new my case inside and out, and was very good at knowing how to handle my case. He was a shark in the courtroom. He knew I was being honest and had fallen victim to a false allegation. He fought for me and was able to bring many things to light that the district attorney was trying to hide, not just from the jury, but also from me. At the end of my trial I was found not guilty. I give thanks to God for having Charles in my corner through this. I would definitely recommend Charles to friends and family looking for legal representation.

Highly recommend Charles to represent you
I would recommend Charles to anyone. I was charged with third degree assault with domestic violence and with his help, my case was eventually dismissed before trial. From the start, he made me feel calm and confident. I felt as though he truly cared about my case and personally wanted to see my name cleared. He was always available to listen, whether I was feeling anxious about something or had endless amounts of questions - and he always had a logical response to those questions. He is not afraid to give honest advice, while still allowing decisions to ultimately be up to you. I can’t express enough how reassuring it was to have Charles on my side during this very scary time.

Highly Recommend! He is definitely the Best!
I was facing my 3rd DUI with a criminal background. I’m not sure how Charles did it, but he gave me comfort and made me feel at ease from day one of hiring him. Not only was he affordable but very intelligent with a lot of experience! I always felt that he was putting 100% into my case like it was his only one. Even though he was multitasking from court house to court house. Charles went into my trial calm, prepared, and ready to win as he did just that!!!! From picking the right jury to having a better response than the DA every time. He knew all of the right points to bring out and all the right things to leave out. He communicated with me every step of the way and made sure my opinion on everything was still considered in every move! It’s because of him I was found not guilty. Charles Greenwood is truly a professional and definitely the best!

Best lawyer in Denver
I was wrongfully accused and charged with domestic violence. Charles defended me in Broomfield county and we went to trial and won. I would have lost my job if I would have lost and that’s what my ex was going for. Charles saved me. I would recommend Charles to anyone. He is reasonably priced for the working man like me. The best defense lawyer in town.

Charles cares about his clients and fights hard for them!
I don't often type reviews but when an attorney works as hard on a case as Charles does and cares as much about his clients and cases as Charles does, a great review is well deserved. CHARLES GETS RESULTS!!! I will recommend Charles to any friends or family near denver or Adams county for any legal issues or advice. Charles went to bat for me in Court at TRIAL and I was found NOT GUILTY of DUI due to Charles hard work, diligence, creativity, and genuine desire to practice law and defend me all the way through trial to a NOT GUILTY OF DUI VERDICT. Charles is realistic and up front and honest with his clients and is a true value. I now consider Charles as not only my attorney but also a Friend! THANKS AGAIN CHARLES!

Best of the best!
I don't know what I would have done without Charles. He helped me get my charges lowered and not only that, he helped me support me emotionally through my case. He really cares about his clients, which is so refreshing. He made a difficult situation in my life, not as difficult as it could've been. I truly appreciate Charles for his professionalism and expertise. He is the best of the best!!

Charles Greenwood is not just an attorney but a great man with great morals
From the begining Charles has been great to me, I consider him a close family friend. He has far exceeded my expectaions and then some. I can not exppress in words how much I appreciate everything he has done for me and my family. At no extra cost he put in an extra large amount of extra time for free just to make sure I got the best possible outcome for my case. Once again he is not only a great attorney but my family and I consider him a great friend. I would extremely highly recommend Charles to anyone I know who needs a great attorney with great morals.

The only honest and straight forward attorney I know
I had a free consultation with Charles. He was honest and straightforward. He told me honestly what he thought I should do even if it did not benefit him. After consulting with other attorney where I could tell they were just trying to sell me. I would highly recommend Charles

I promise you won't be disappointed!
My name is Shannon, I was involved in a serious Aggravated Robbery charged and facing piano years. I was wrongly charged and had never been in trouble with law. We all know when it's your word against the law word your gonna lose 10 out of 10 times. My mother find Charles on the Internet and he returned my call within 2 hours ! It took other lawyers days to return my calls and when they did return my call after hearing my case they seem like they was disinterested because it seemed like a hard case to win. Charles didn't charge me for the phone call or meeting him or the criminal advice. I was minutes away from going with another lawyer just because I had already been talking to other lawyers in the past days of talking to Charles. Charles was consistent in returning my calls so at the last minute I changed my mind and went with Charles and that had to be one of the best decision of my life. He right away had confidence that I wasn't going to have to do time. He did extra work in my case then he had too and work with me on payments. I know it's very hard to trust lawyers, but you can truly tell he cared about how I was doing and kept me updated with what was going on with my case. Long story short Charles got all charges dropped against me! He is an amazing lawyer! I know he may be young but , he knows what he is doing trust me !

Hire him!
My son was charged with DUI on Christmas Eve as an 18 year old. Long story short, my son should not have been charged and we took the case to trial. Charles did an amazing job all throughout the many months it took to get in front of a jury. He was professional, helpful and an all around nice man. My son and I felt we could trust him. That trust was well placed. My son was found not-guilty on ALL of the charges and that is a direct result of the work that Charles did. He honestly saved a young man from having a horrible criminal record and we are forever grateful! I would hire him again in a second and recommend him to anyone facing criminal charges.

Excellent Lawyer
Bar-none a fantastic DUI defense lawyer. He got invested in the case and cared about his performance in the court, which is a shame because he got my case dropped before we ever even got to a trial. Well worth the money. I would hire him again in a heartbeat.

a lawyer that knows the law
my name is Anthony I was charged with some very serious felony charges including homicide if you're trying to find the right lawyer and I know that's hard to do THIS IS THE ONE. I went through a couple of very expensive lawyers I will not mention their names but after hiring them and they got my money I found them not to answer questions would not take my phone calls will not return calls and all they tried to do is plea bargain. a friend of mine referred me to Mr Greenwood and after talking to him he told me he knows the law . He may seem young but Mr Greenwood is a fantastic lawyer he will talk to you over any problems you might have he has not only been a lawyer is turned into a friend and still consults me to this day . if you're looking for a lawyer this is the lawyer you want. He will be with you every step of the way I cannot say enough good about Mr Greenwood especially after some terrifying experiences with other lawyers. He knows the law. He's ambitious smart and caring . Mr Charles Patrick Greenwood is going to be a well-known lawyer in the future.
