Excellent job and Professional Lawyer!

I was so lucky to meet Damon Brune and had him as my best lawyer. It was my first time going through court and had no idea what’s gonna happen in my future life and my background. Damon helped me to understand the process about my case, and he did excellent job to dismissed my case. I’m forever grate...ful to hired him as my lawyer. He was always available to answer my questions a nice person and excellent lawyer I highly recommend!

Professional, Efficient, Effective and Awesome!

I hired Damon due to a difficult situation regarding a rescued animal under my control. Unfortunately, this dog escaped from my custody, and maimed two other animals. I sadly elected to forfeit this animal to the city, and she was immediately put down. As a first time dog owner, my sadness for my o...wn loss was overshadowed by the sorrow for I felt for the victims of these attacks. I am 39 years old, have been a volunteer football coach for Jefferson County for several years, and am a proud operator for organizing charitable events around the Denver-Metro areas through my restaurants for almost twenty years. Even though I had an unblemished criminal record, the city of Lakewood initially offered no plea bargain, threatened the maximum sentence, and wished to hang a jail sentence over my head. Damon Brine, once hired, was willing and able to fight for me every step of the way. I was terrified, and he was honest with me through every step along this horrific journey. He was relentless regarding not only every aspect of the law, but also in keeping me informed every step of the way. After a long fought battle, I was offered a plea bargain by the the city of Lakewood which I believe was fair due to all unfortunate incidents that occurred. Damon Brune represents integrity, honesty and an excise representation of the law. I am proud that I had the chance to work with him, ant eternally grateful for all that he was able to accomplish for my defense. He is truly dedicated to his clients and should be applauded for his professionalism, efficiency and effectiveness. Thank you Damon!

BEST LAWYER IN THE METRO AREA

Honestly I was in a bind financially, when Mr. Brune decided to take my case. I was facing 1 yr. and he helped reduce my time to 20 days ankle monitor. In my opinion he is highly recommend, very knowledgeable in all types of the law. If you are going to trust anyone with you future it definitely need... to be Mr. Damon Brune!!!!

Knowledgeable, compassionate, and excellent advocate

Mr. Brune was an excellent advocate for me on my recent misdemeanor case. He explained the process and supported me every step of the way. Mr. Brune helped to reduce the stress involved during this extremely difficult time. I couldn't have asked for anything more out of an attorney.

A Case Taken Care Of

I met Damon under very unfortunate circumstances but almost instantly after meeting him and speaking about my case I had the feeling that I had an ace on my side. Before hiring him I felt due process of the law was meant to put pressure on me and wreck my life but after consulting him I knew that I w...ould have someone looking out for my rights under due process and that I would not have to face the legal system on my own. His representation was invaluable, his experience was effective and his advice; sage. When things became critical I had someone championing my cause and looking out for me and for that I will always be grateful.

He has great rapport with his clients and helps them feel at ease in very stressful situations. I would highly recommend Damon for any criminal defense matter."

"Mr. Brune is an excellent attorney. He takes time to understand his client's unique situation and case. He has extensive knowledge of specialty courts, mental health issues, and working with veterans. Mr. Brune is an excellent trial attorney. I worked with him on a contentious sexual assault case and his cross-examination of the prosecution's expert was prepared and delivered in an excellent manner and was one of the main factors the client was acquitted of sexual assault."
