Biography
Jeffery L. Weeden specializes in results-oriented Criminal Defense in Colorado. He practices throughout Colorado, but spends the majority of court time in the counties of Denver, Adams, Jefferson, Arapahoe, Boulder, Broomfield and Douglas and also Municipal Courts in Aurora, Lakewood and Littleton. Jeffery Lawrence Weeden P.C. is the founder of WeedenLaw where he specializes in the areas of both state and federal criminal and civil litigation and mediation. Mr. Weeden is admitted to the U.S. District Court District of Colorado, U.S. Court of Appeals 10th Circuit and the Colorado Bar. He is a member of the American, Colorado and Denver Bar Associations.
Mr. Weeden has over 20 years experience in corporate and management fields. Mr. Weeden is involved in many community service projects and organizations, including being past president of Routt County Habitat for Humanity and is involved with the Routt County Pro-Bono Legal Clinic, Rocky Mountain Children's Law Center and Northwest Colorado Legal Services Ask-A-Lawyer Program. Mr. Weeden has several published works on legal matters for the Ave Maria Law Review, the Colorado Lawyer and others. He is also an Adjunct Scholar for the Mackinac Center for Public Policy.
Mr. Weeden was a judicial intern for The Honorable Paul V. Gadola, United States District Court for the Eastern District Of Michigan, Flint , Michigan and a judicial extern for The Honorable Michael T. Talbot, Michigan Court of Appeals, Detroit, Michigan.
Mr. Weeden has a Master of Professional Services degree in Law Firm management from the George Washington University.
Getting arrested in or around Denver can be a scary, confusing, dehumanizing experience. Depending on the circumstances of the arrest, you might not understand why the police are taking you in, what you are going to be charged with, or the potential consequences awaiting you if you are convicted.
If you or someone you love find yourself facing a charge, you need an advocate on your side who will treat you like a person and who understands how to protect your rights and help you fight back. You need the experienced Colorado criminal attorneys of WeedenLaw.
We can help to answer the tough questions for you and hold your hand through the process. Could you be fired? Lose your driver’s license? Be prevented from obtaining certain kinds of professional certifications? Have to give up your firearms? Get hit with high fines? Languish in jail or prison?
Even after you supposedly pay back your debt to society, a criminal conviction will stick with you in the form of a criminal record that can make it more difficult for you to get a job, find a place to live, secure a loan, and more.
The best way to protect your future? Fight back.
Since 2005, founder Jeffrey L. Weeden has been using his legal knowledge and skills to make sure people in the area get the strongest possible defense – and the absolute best chance at having their charges reduced, dropped, or dismissed.
His success in doing just that has garnered him quite a bit of recognition from all kinds of sources:
The National Trial Lawyers – Top 100 Trial Lawyers
Martindale-Hubbell – AV Preeminent Rating (the highest possible rating for professional excellence)
Avvo – Top Attorney Criminal Defense
Avvo – Clients’ Choice in Criminal Defense
Avvo – Clients’ Choice in Domestic Violence
Beyond professional organizations, you can also find countless glowing testimonials from former clients Mr. Weeden was able to help when they were at their lowest point.
Why are clients so appreciative of Mr. Weeden? He listens, and he is easy to talk to. He is compassionate. He is upbeat and positive, with a can-do attitude. He is dedicated, and always works hard to find the best possible outcome. He knows Colorado criminal law like the back of his hand, and how to leverage that knowledge for your benefit. He gets results.

Fantastic
Jeff was amazing representation for us. My wife and I were given a solution from the start by Jeff and his colleague towards getting the court on the same page as us in understanding what actually happened, and why this case was worth dismissing. Not only did they work with the DA closely, to make ...

Wrongly convicted of sexual assault right out of high school.
Back in February of 2015 I was wrongly accused of sexual assault and sexual harassment. These alagations had no basis of truth to be founded on. Never having committed a crime in my life left me confused on what to do. Through diligent search I found Mr. Weeden, and after an initial consultation imm...

Mr. Weeden noticed the disconnect from both sides and found other means of communication to get me to understand the right approach to ...
