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:
