Where Lakewood State Cases Are Heard
Lakewood is a Jefferson County city, and cases filed under state law go to the Jefferson Combined Court, 100 Jefferson County Parkway, Golden, CO 80401. That covers felonies, state misdemeanors, DUI cases filed in county court, civil cases, and family law cases alike.
The Jefferson Combined Court is the district and county courthouse for Colorado's 1st Judicial District, which covers Jefferson and Gilpin counties. Gilpin County has its own courthouse in Black Hawk, so Jefferson County cases, including those arising in Lakewood, are heard at the Golden courthouse.
Lakewood Municipal Court
Lakewood Municipal Court is at 445 S. Allison Parkway, Lakewood, CO 80226, on the Lakewood Civic Center campus. It is a court of record, and it hears alleged violations of the Lakewood Municipal Code, meaning municipal misdemeanor and ordinance offenses along with municipal traffic cases arising inside the city.
The municipal court does not handle felonies, state misdemeanors, civil suits, or family law. A Lakewood case in any of those categories is filed under state law and heard at the Jefferson Combined Court in Golden.
