Areas we cover
Littleton criminal defense
Three counties, one small city, and a county court division right in the middle of it.
How a case runs in Littleton
Littleton sits across Arapahoe, Jefferson and Douglas counties. The Arapahoe County Court Littleton division handles a share of the misdemeanor and traffic docket locally, while felonies go to the Justice Center in Centennial.
Because the city spans three counties, the first question in any Littleton case is always jurisdictional. The answer determines the district attorney, the available diversion programme and, in practice, the realistic range of outcomes.
Santa Fe Drive, Broadway and the Downtown Littleton area account for most of the city's alcohol related filings, and the light rail corridor adds its own set of public order cases.
Three things specific to Littleton
- Littleton Municipal Court handles city code offenses separately from the county court.
