Chris Denuna

Chris Denuna was hired to help take care of my DWI case. He was very thorough and professional. He is EXCELLENT at what he does. He took care of everything and he was very honest in setting expectations. He was also very easy to get a hold of as well as very responsive to questions and concerns I had... throughout the case. The most important thing is that he was instrumental in getting my case DISMISSED!!!

DUI Dismissed

Chris Was extremely proffesional. He took good care of my case & treated it as if it was his only. He was ready and willing to go to whatever distance it took to beat my case. Will definitely recommend him to anyone who needs legal help.

Outstanding Lawyer!!!

Chris Denuna was my DWI Class A case (greater than .15) Attorney that started back in January 2018, in Montgomery County Texas. Not only did he work his hardest at getting the case dismissed but he worked his hardest at comforting me that nothing bad was going to happen, night, day Or even morning ti...me Chris would for sure answer my calls and text messages. Chris also spoke in terms that I could understand, he is an extremely talkative and straight foward person you will not be let down by him by any means. He will stand for you and what is right !!!! Outstanding attorney for sure!!!

Very Satisfied/ DWI Case Dismissed

Yesterday my DWI case was DISMISSED by my Lawyer Chris Denuna, No Breathalyzer ever, No probation, No nothing. I had searched online for a good lawyer and I came across Tichter & LeGrand, I seen that they are open 24 hours, I read the reviews I read a lot of good/positive reviews on Chris Denuna. I c...alled it was past 12 a.m. sure enough I was able to talk to him, that made me feel like I was at the right place. The day I went to the meeting, Chris was very confident and very knowledgeable. He always gave me positive feed back. I had missed court one day by accident and he had all under control, I was so worried and he was able to reschedule for the next day. Chris has a great big heart, He went to my first court without any money upfront and waited for the payment, I have not ever known any lawyer that goes to court without any money upfront, he gave me payment flexibility. He has been a Big Blessing to me and I highly recommend him. He was there at anytime I text him or called him he was always available, very reliable. My case only took 3 months less time than Chris had estimated, I am very satisfied with his work and how fast my case was resolved, If I had to get a lawyer again, Which I don't plan to be in this situation ever again!!! I would hire Chris Denuna. I am very Satisfied.

Chris is a miracle worker!

Edward "Chris" Denuna is a miracle worker. I was going through a very rough time in my life when I finally got in touch with Chris. He was very calm and confident throughout the process and assured that I would be just fine. My case was very difficult from the start but Chris created a defendant's "m...itigation" package that was extremely detailed and helped explain my situation and how I ended up in legal trouble. The DA's office reviewed all my information and gave me a much, MUCH less charge/fine/conviction than I expected. I was filled with so much joy I almost cried in the court room. I know he worked extremely hard for me and I honestly could not have asked for better legal representation. Chris is a consummate professional. Always willing to go the extra mile for his clients. Always available either by phone, email, or text. Before I met Chris I had many sleepless nights worrying about my case. After I asked Chris to handle my legal defense, I can finally sleep like a baby. Thank you Chris for your dedication and hard work. I will refer everyone I know who is in need of legal counsel.

"I had the opportunity to sit as co-counsel in a DWI trial with Chris and he was amazing. More specifically, he was well prepared, knowledgeable of facts surrounding the case and science involved with DWI’s. After two days of testimony the jurors deliberated for 20 minutes and returned with a NOT GUILTY verdict!"

"I wouldn't have hired Chris if I didn't think he was an amazing lawyer. He's a competitor outside of the court room and inside as well. it's in his blood. He has studied and learned his profession well. That's why I feel lucky to have hired him. He's a strong worker, fantastic and creative mind and tenacious. He won't give up on your case. And if he ever gets in too deep, I've got his back."
