A Track Record Built in TrialVerdicts, settlements, and what clients have said.
The Denver trial lawyers at Stuart & Ward have spent decades in courtrooms across Colorado. What follows is a sampling of the work: recognition from the legal community and the words of the people we have represented.
In criminal matters, a successful outcome might mean a dismissal, an acquittal at trial, or a sentence well below what the prosecution had on the table. In civil cases, it can be a settlement, a verdict, or a court order that materially changes a client's situation. We litigate across both practices, and we do it ourselves.
Past results never guarantee a particular outcome in any future matter, but they show how we approach the work. Every matter on this page was handled by one of the partners personally, not by an associate or contract attorney.

What Clients Say About Our Denver Trial Lawyers
A selection of reviews from former clients and peer attorneys who have worked alongside or opposite the firm.
I hired Mr. Amos to defend me in a DUI case in the Denver Metro Area. Unfortunately for me, a lot of substantial evidence and proper protocol existed in my case making it hard to defend, but that didn't stop Mr. Amos from providing superb value and representation. He went above and beyond what typical DUI clients experience in this area. He was always responsive, within a couple of hours, of emails and calls. He put together an excellent mitigation package that he submitted to the judge before sentencing, not just provided verbally during the hearing. He utilized his knowledge of the judge and relationships to tailor my mitigation to resonate more with the court. All of this resulted in me getting a sentence that was incredibly light relative to similar defendants but incredibly justified based on the information he submitted to the court.
He was prepared, thoughtful, intelligent, and aggressive. His knowledge and understanding of legal issues is second to none.
Joshua D. Amos did a fantastic job. Not only did he get my case dismissed, but the price was fair. I was highly impressed with the time and dedication he took to prove my innocence. I trusted him and he delivered.
Martin Stuart always called me when he said he would. He spent a lot of time researching my case.
Joshua D. Amos has tried and won cases across Colorado. He is thorough in his assessment of a case and aggressive in his defense of his clients. The highest praise a criminal lawyer can give another is this: I would hire Joshua D. Amos to represent me if I were in trouble.
We hired Tom Ward for our case. He went beyond what was expected when working with the DA, and got the DA to agree to everything he was asking for, which is something hard to do and honestly never happens. He will fight your case until the end.
I hired Joshua D. Amos to expunge my wife's record. Her case was unprecedented, with no federal law for records expungement, which made it very challenging. His expert knowledge, tireless work, and constant communication paid dividends. He drafted a professional motion capturing the entire situation and won the case.
I endorse this lawyer. He is a fierce advocate and skilled litigator.
Tom is an outstanding attorney who did wonders for my case. He consistently fought until he got me the deal I wanted. He is always on time and always makes himself available to his client.
Joshua D. Amos is a smart, aggressive, and battle-tested criminal trial lawyer. I would not hesitate to refer anyone with any type of criminal matter to Josh.
“Dedication to clients. Decades of results.”
