Kurt Zaner

Kurt Zaner has dedicated his legal career to representing folks against the modern-day Goliaths. In battling corporations that refuse to take responsibility, Kurt enjoys the challenge of standing up for people that seemingly have the odds overwhelmingly stacked against them. A sought-after national speaker, Kurt frequently lectures on his winning trial techniques, effective legal writing strategies, and iconic discovery tactics that force top-value settlements. Kurt has secured the largest premises liability verdict in the history of Colorado ($16,000,000.00) and recently secured one of the largest personal injury verdicts in Federal Court for $30,000,000.00. He has appeared on Good Morning America, World News Tonight, and every local media outlet including the Denver Post and local CBS, ABC, and Fox affiliates. He is a published author of Federal and State case law, including Colorado law establishing the right to punitive damages for victims of drunk drivers; he also authored legal articles on distracted driving as well as articles on ancient Roman trial methods. Working side by side with a Federal Judge on one of the largest caseloads in the country, Kurt learned the art of persuasive advocacy both through legal writing and courtroom theatrics. Kurt is very active in the Trial Lawyer community, both locally and nationally. He has served on the Boards of both the Colorado Trial Lawyers Association and the American Association of Justice for nearly ten years. When not practicing law, Mr. Zaner spends much of his time with his wife and three young boys, outdoors in the mountains, coaching their endless sports teams, or training them in the dojo with their weapon of choice in Kenpo Karate. Inspired by Prince Oberyn in Game of Thrones, and Kaladin in The Way of Kings, Kurt took up the bowstaff and the spear.
