Douglas County Family Law and Criminal Defense Attorney

How We Serve Douglas County

Cruz Law does not have an office in Douglas County, and a case there does not require one. Our offices are in Cherry Creek, at 501 South Cherry Street, Suite 1100, Denver, and in Broomfield, at 11001 West 120th Avenue, Suite 400, and we handle Douglas County cases from both. The first step is the same from Castle Rock, Parker, Lone Tree, or Highlands Ranch: a call to 720-594-4616, answered 24/7.

In person meetings at either office are for clients and for paid in person consultations. Founder Jason Cruz is a former public defender and was recognized in the 2027 edition of Best Lawyers: Ones to Watch in America for Criminal Defense.
