About Stanley L. "Stan" Garnett
Co-founding partner, Stan Garnett, focuses his practice on complex litigation at the state and federal level. He is well-known for providing a solutions-based approach, from arbitration to litigation.
With decades of experience on some of Colorado’s most high-profile cases and beyond, Stan is a reliable, steady hand for all types of clients facing high-stakes litigation. He’s an expert at leading a team of lawyers to help clients, whether through the court system or less formal resolution.
Stan’s goal is to help resolve disputes quickly and efficiently so that his clients can focus on the success of their businesses. Stan was elected and re-elected district attorney for Colorado’s 20th Judicial District in Boulder. During his tenure as DA, he improved community protection and successfully prosecuted economic crimes, crimes in the immigrant and homeless communities, homicide cold cases, and sexual assault cases.
His willingness to take cases to trial improved relations with local law enforcement and the community. Stan is a previous President of the Colorado District Attorneys Council and has served on the National District Attorneys Association Board of Directors for several years.
After his tenure as a DA, he returned to his national commercial litigation firm. There, he focused on developing another generation of litigators while representing the interests of commercial and complex criminal defense clients in trials across the United States.
