Without the help of Mr Brent Christensen, I know that I would not have had the outcome I have had. My experience was excellent my attorney gave my case all the time and attention that was needed to be successful in court. Mr Brent Christensen was completely understanding, professional and worked very diligently to the end and I'm so grateful!! Highly recommend!!!
Brent was very professional from our first meeting all the way through the end. He always promptly responded to any emails or concerns that I had through the process. I am very satisfied with the results I was given and would recommend Brent to anyone looking to also fight their DUI.

Excellent Legal Representation
Brent was very knowledgeable and professional. He was upfront about the possible outcomes of my case and his fees. He handled my case from the start. He had regular contact with me and responded quickly to all of my inquiries. Brent gave me advice about things to do prior to my court date that could positively affect my outcome. I followed through. He was spot on! All went as he expected. Very pleased. Excellent representation!

Thumb's Up for Brent Christensen
I met with Brent after finding him on Avvo.com. I had found myself in a near impossible situation, having been charged with felony DUI. I was impressed when I sat down in his office and he told me to tell him my story. When I told him it was a LONG story, he assured me he had "all day" and I immediately relaxed. He listened with interest, asking pertinent questions along the way. While he did not judge me, he did not trivialize the seriousness of my situation. He offered several defensive actions we could take to counter the charges and I left feeling hopeful. I had found an attorney I could trust! I hired him that day!
Brent was very open about his fees and I felt they were extremely fair. Never once during the 7 months we worked together did Brent ask for additional fees. Unlike most attorneys, he did not charge for phone calls, emails or texts. His fee was all inclusive, save an additional charge should we go to a jury trail. Thankfully, my case did not move to a jury trial and as the case moved through the court, Brent remained true to his word. I was never blind-sided with an additional fee of any kind!
My case is now closed and I feel I got a fair and just sentencing. Thanks to Brent's excellent counselling, I am moving forward with my life in a positive direction.
Brent Christensen is a very talented and knowledgeable attorney who is honest, candid and supportive. He can take a bad situation and turn it into a teachable experience without even trying. I highly recommend his services!

Excellent lawyer!
Brent was very helpful in my representation. He gave thoughtful advice on how to navigate the legal path ahead of me, and in court he was attentive and aware of the situation. One time the court had a full docket and Brent offered to delay to a later date, and on another occasion the prosecution tried to delay the trial after we had agreed on that day, and he objected, to my benefit.
He offered his services at a flat rate, and payment was straightforward with PayPal. I was able to use a credit card.
Brent knows the people and system in DuPage County and I highly recommend his services if you find yourself in trouble.

DUI Client
Bruce took charge of My DUI Case. I contacted Bruce on the phone to secure His Council. Bruce and I agreed on a fair price and Bruce even offered financing. Bruce immediately got to work securing court documents and petitioning The Court on My behave. Bruce explained My Rights. Bruce kept Me informed as to what I needed to do and what was happening via E-mail and phone personally. Bruce showed up to court prepared for defense and offense in The Court. In the end. All of Bruce's diligence paid off. I could not have made a better choice than to secure Bruce in My Case. I would recommend Bruce to anyone in a legal bind. Also remember to listen to Bruce and follow his directions in a timely manner to assist Him in defending Yourself. Thanks, Bruce

Excellent Lawyer and Representation
Mr. Christensen represented me as my case went on for several years. He was always on top of court dates, meeting times and trail preparation. Mr. Christensen always put in the work and time he needed to have himself (and myself) prepared for the next phase of my case. He provided me with excellent advice, made sure I completed all the required classes, paperwork and all fines were paid up. He never let me get behind or become unaware of the progression of my case. Mr. Christensen was an excellent lawyer, he was patient, compassionate and explained everything to me in ways that I understood. I would absolutely recommend him to my friends and family.

I highly recommend Brent Christensen if you get a DUI in Du Page County!
I got a total of three tickets from the State Police and of course I was worried most about the DUI charge. My case ended up going to trial and I wan't sure if there was enough to establish reasonable doubt. However, when it came time for Brent to cross-examine the State Trooper, I was in awe of his knowledge and skill. He had the Trooper dazed and confused with questions about properly following police procedures. Brent is nice to his clients but he is aggressive in the courtroom where it counts. I was found not guilty on the DUI charge and I have Brent to thank for the best possible outcome!

You are a amazing attorney!!!!!!!!
Mr. Brent Christensen is a great attorney. Very easy to talk to, great communicator and most importantly very professional. Mr. Christensen saved my driver licence with out suspension and no need for BAIID in my car. Charges were reduced to a one year supervision and no conviction on my record. Other charges were dismissed. I just want to thank you for the amazing work, and your consistency as well amazing communication. I could not be more then happy with the results that we got. I appreciate how you help me to get thru this, and give me so much confidence. I am so grateful that i went with my 1st gut feeling and trusted you from the beginning. I am even more then grateful that you helped me to get thru this process, and helped me to ease down my anxieties and stress. You are a amazing attorney!!!!!!!!

Best Outcome I Could Have Asked For!
From start to finish, Brent was honest, dedicated, and confident while handling my case. He was prompt with responses, reasonable with payment options, and truly concerned with getting me the best outcome - which is exactly what he did. I never imagined that I would walk away with the results I did. I can't thank or recommend Brent enough!

Excellent job!
Brent represented me in a professional way, clearly explaining the situation and potential next steps as I’d received a serious speeding ticket. He was very transparent in guiding me in and outside of the courtroom. My potential serious consequence was lowered with his help. Really appreciate everything he’s done for me. Highly recommend Brent to anyone looking for a lawyer as he was the best lawyer I could have hired in my situation.

My case took a long time but, Brent always stayed focused on achieving the best possible outcome.
I was given a DUI by the Carol Stream Police Department. My case ended up taking a long time. Mr. Christensen was always very kind and professional from my first consultation until when I finally walked out of court for the last time. There were times during my case that I was worried, upset and uncomfortable but Brent always stayed positive, focused, professional and helped to make me feel better. He ended up using his knowledge of the law and ultimately, my DUI charges were dismissed. He never asked me for another penny than his original quote but ended up doing a miraculous job. He's been defending DUI cases in DuPage County for a long time, knows everyone who works in that courtroom and I, 100% reccomend his services. Thanks for all of your help, Brent!

Great representation
In my initial meeting with Brent, he helped me to separate the mistake from the person and assured me that he would help me through the ordeal. Additionally, I was immediately impressed with his attention to detail and his diligence, which is why I decided to hire him to represent me. Brent was clearly very knowledgeable about the law and the various options available to me as a defendant. I thought his approach of always trying to present me with options and allowing me to determine the next course of action was very effective as it put me in the position to make knowledgeable decisions. Brent was available to answer all of my numbers questions and he offered flexible meeting times, which was very helpful for someone with a full-time job. In the end, Brent was able to negotiate a great deal in my case that allowed me to move past the issue with as minimal of an impact as possible under the law. Thank you Brent for your representation, I greatly appreciated it.

Brent is an exceptional lawyer. He conducts himself with the utmost professionalism and has a sincere passion for what he does. This passion bleeds through in the courtroom and makes you feel lucky to be his client. He has confidence, determination, grit and and an overall intelligence for the law that is second to none. I never once felt like he didn't have my best interest at heart and always knew that he was in my corner fighting for me. He was able to reduce my second DUI to a reckless driving with very minimal consequences. He will do his best to get the best possible scenario for your case. I highly recommend him to any person who has received a DUI. Thanks Brent!

Exceptional
This was my first DUI and I was very stressed and afraid of what would happen next, then I talked to attorney Brent Christensen and my stress and fears vanished. He put me at ease and assured me that everything would be okay. He never rescheduled any appointments and was always there for me as promised. With only a few court dates he was able to get my case dismissed. Brent is patient, understanding and respectful.
Thank you Brent for making this a quick and bearable dilemma.
