About Charles
Biography
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.

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

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....

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.
