Why We Built This Site
Colorado gives the public broad access to court records, with rules set by the Colorado Open Records Act, the Colorado Criminal Justice Records Act, and Chief Justice Directive 05-01. The hard part is figuring out which office holds the file you want. The Adams County District Court at the Justice Center, 1100 Judicial Center Drive, Brighton, handles felony, family, juvenile, and probate cases. Adams County Court at the same address handles misdemeanors, traffic, small claims, and civil matters under $25,000. The Adams County Sheriff's Office manages the jail roster and active warrants. The Adams County Clerk and Recorder, a separate elected office at the Government Center, runs recorded documents, marriage and civil union licenses, elections, and motor vehicle. We pull together the contact details, search portals, fee schedules, and request steps for each of these offices into one place.

What We Cannot Do
This is a privately run reference site. We have no connection to any Colorado court, clerk's office, sheriff's office, or state agency. There are real limits to what we can help with:
- We cannot file paperwork or send records requests on your behalf
- We cannot issue certified copies of any court document or vital record
- We cannot give legal advice or explain how a specific case applies to you
- We cannot guarantee that every phone number, fee, or address listed on this site is current right now
Only the issuing court or government office can provide a certified copy with an official seal. We can point you to the right office, but the document has to come from them.
Search Partners
Some pages on this site include search boxes powered by third-party providers. Those companies set their own pricing and run their own services. When you use one of those tools and it leads to a paid signup, we may earn a referral fee. That revenue helps keep this site free for visitors. We do not control what those tools charge or what shows up in their results.
Keeping Information Current
Clerk offices move. Hours change. Phone numbers get reassigned. We update pages as we hear about changes, but gaps happen. Before you drive to a courthouse, call ahead first.
