Built on the
Principles of Justice
Varnes Law was founded with a singular mission: to provide fearless, uncompromising criminal defense for the people of Denver. From a single attorney practice in a modest downtown office, we've grown into a powerhouse firm with a track record that commands respect in every Colorado courtroom.
Our founding attorney, John Varnes, cut his teeth in the Denver District Attorney's office before switching sides to defend the accused. That insider knowledge of how prosecutors think gives our clients a strategic advantage that simply can't be matched.
We've secured over 1,200 dismissals, won millions in damages, and built a reputation that makes opposing counsel think twice. But our greatest legacy is the lives we've changed — one case at a time.
