DENVER, CO – As Judge Adam Espionza retires from Denver County Court, Mayor Michael B. Hancock announced that the position will be replaced by County Court Magistrate Judge Kelly Cherry. She will assume the new role upon her swearing in following the Judge Espinoza’s retirement.

Right now, Cherry is serving as Denver County Court Magistrate since 2019. During her tenure, she has handled misdemeanor, municipal and juvenile cases, as well as handling trials in Denver Juvenile Court and protection order proceedings.

Outside of her position in Denver County Court, she does private practice as a criminal defense attorney for a wide range of criminal cases. She also serves as a paralegal at United States District Court level and at the private practice.
