Our Story
A wonderful thing happened to Jon Ward at the end of 2006.
After working for several big downtown insurance defense firms where he helped insurance adjusters “adjust” claims downward (if not deny them completely), Jon was given a large bonus for his hard work.
But Jon didn’t feel like celebrating his bonus. He’d worked hard on hundreds, if not thousands, of injury cases, but something just didn’t sit right. It’s at that moment when Jon realized his work since law school had been for “the dark side.” Something was missing.
Jon knew his bonus money was an opportunity to stop working for big corporations and insurance companies and start his own law firm where he would work for injured people who struggled with unfair insurance settlements and a system stacked against them.
So, instead of spending the money on himself, Jon rented a small office and set up shop. Once his professional legal network heard the news, he began getting many cases referred to him and he was off and running. Helping real people, instead of the insurance companies and their minions, was like a breath of fresh air.
It wasn’t long before Jon knew that he would need help with his thriving practice and began hiring paralegals and associate attorneys, including Dan Yarbro, Esq. and paralegal extraordinaire, Ann Gibson-Bremer. In 2010, Jon hired long-time office manager, Tim O’Connell, and purchased an old City Park mansion to expand his practice and spent the next 13 years at the Law Firm’s City Park offices. In 2023, Jon promoted Dan to Partner and the Law Firm became “Law Offices of Ward & Yarbro.” That same year, Jon and Dan moved to their headquarters to their current location in Golden, Colorado, near the beautiful Red Rocks Amphitheater.
Quality Representation, Proven Results
Built on trust, focused on the clients — not the case count.
Unlike the big “billboard” and “TV ad” firms that measure success by how many cases they can sign, Jon and Dan measure success by the quality of the results we deliver — and by the relationships we build along the way. We deliberately evaluate every case we accept so that every client receives the attention, preparation, and advocacy they deserve.
When you hire Jon and Dan, you’re not handed off to an out-of-state call center or treated like just another file in a warehouse of injury claims. You work directly with the attorneys. We take the time to learn your story, understand how your injuries have changed your life, and develop a legal strategy tailored to your unique circumstances. You’re not just another number at Ward & Yarbro.
We believe in practicing law with integrity — not in marketing gimmicks. You won’t see our faces on park benches or late-night TV commercials. Instead, our reputation comes from results, referrals, and trust built over years of helping injured people throughout Colorado.
Over the years, Jon and Dan have settled many cases for many satisfied clients.
If you have been injured, we will help you get back.
