Colorado Law

Colorado Criminal Defense Laws & Deadlines

Colorado criminal law operates under the Colorado Revised Statutes, with most felony cases having a three-year statute of limitations, though serious crimes like sexual assault have no time limit. Colorado's sentencing guidelines in C.R.S. Title 18 provide structured penalty ranges, but local judges retain discretion within those parameters. The state's drug possession laws were significantly reformed in 2019, making many offenses misdemeanors rather than felonies.
