About

Damon is an experienced trial attorney who has dedicated his legal career to defending individuals accused of crimes across Colorado. Before opening Brune Law Office, he spent twelve years working as a municipal and state public defender on the Western Slope, Northeastern Colorado, and Denver Metro area, fighting for thousands of people accused of crimes ranging from park curfew violation to homicide.​Damon has seen the damage criminal investigation and prosecution do to peoples' lives. He knows when it comes to criminal allegations - there is no such thing as a small case - and that realization guides his client-centered approach to criminal defense.In his twelve years as a public defender, Damon learned that criminal defense attorneys must possess negotiation skills, a superior knowledge of the law, and an unyielding willingness to hold the prosecution to their burden of proof. Damon has built a reputation as a fearless trial attorney by taking more than 70 cases to trial - securing acquittals, dismissals, and favorable outcomes including mitigated sentences. He has also developed a specialized knowledge of treatment courts and harm reduction by serving as the criminal defense representative on the First Judicial District Veteran Treatment Court and the Denver Municipal Court Competency Diversion Project.Professionally, Damon has trained criminal defense attorneys and stakeholders across Colorado on topics ranging from domestic violence, jury selection, cross-examination, preserving a constitutional record at trial, and developing not guilty by reason of insanity defense.Damon earned his law degree from the University of Colorado Law School, where he served as chapter president of the National Lawyers Guild, was selected as a Rothgerber Moot Court Finalist, and represented indigent clients in the Legal Aid Clinic.

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 own 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!

Damon was extremely patient in answering any and all questions I had throughout my case. He also helped me in understanding the possible outcomes and making me feel like I knew what I could expect to come throughout the process.

I was fortunate enough to meet Damon Brune by chance. Ive used his services on more than one occasion. Throughout the years of knowing him, he has been a god send. He is honest, communicative, trustworthy, and so many other qualities you want/need in a lawyer. He has gone above and beyond to be helpful and supportive to me. I cant recommend Mr. Brune enough. You wont find a better lawyer.

I could not have asked for a better experience with Damon. He was honest, real, understanding and listened to what I needed throughout the whole process, even through the middle of a pandemic. I never had any doubts that I was in good hands with him on my case. He always kept me up to date on where we were with my case, always made sure I was fully informed of every option and scenario available and never pressured me in to making decisions. I will hands down recommend him to anyone in need of his expertise.

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!!!!

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.

I had the pleasure of working with Damon Brune due to an unfortunate happening in my life recently. He was absolutely superb in every aspect of the case. I felt comfortable and at ease with him from the start. I never felt that there was any judgement and he took the time to listen and really heard what I had to say. He kept me up to date and was on top of things throughout. I was extremely impressed.

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 would 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.
