A distinguished litigator, Stan Garnett brings a wealth of experience to his commercial litigation and government investigations practice. Drawing on decades of work on high-profile cases allows Stan to provide a steady hand when clients face high-stakes litigation. His practice focuses on complex litigation at the state and federal level, and he has appeared before the United States Supreme Court, the 10th and 11th Circuit Courts of Appeal, the Colorado Appellate Courts and in state and federal trial courts across the United States.

Stan served as district attorney for Colorado’s 20th Judicial District (Boulder County) for nearly 10 years before rejoining the firm, where he had previously been a senior member of Brownstein’s Litigation Department. During his tenure as district attorney, Stan focused his efforts on prosecuting economic crimes, crimes in the immigrant and homeless communities and homicide cold cases.

Elected to three terms, he prioritized prosecuting violent and recidivist offenders, especially those who present a threat to public safety, as well as outreach to more vulnerable populations such as the elderly.

Stan was elected as president of Colorado District Attorneys Council in 2017 and served on the board of directors of the National District Attorneys Association.

During his years in private practice, Stan received a number of distinctions from the legal community and his previous trial experience includes representing former Congressman Mark Udall (D-CO) in Colorado's nationally watched Congressional redistricting case, Salazar v. Davidson, and representing John Elway in Nelson v. Elway, a frequently cited commercial case that resulted in a Colorado Supreme Court decision in 1995 in favor of Elway.
