I unequivocally endorse Mr. Cessna. When a client is charged with a DUI, there are typically two options: plead guilty or go to trial. Unfortunately, most attorneys are too willing and eager to have their clients plead guilty. In contrast, Mr. Cessna will evaluate every possible defense and he does not hesitate to go to trial. The prosecution offices throughout the State know that a DUI conviction is far from certain when Mr. Cessna is the defense attorney. He is also a well respected expert in the defense community. Whenever I have a legal question or I need help with trial strategy, Mr. Cessna is the first attorney I call.

Mr. Cessna is knowledgeable, easy to talk to and adept in his field. We worked on a case as counsel defending co-defendants and he did excellent work on the case!

Mr. Cessna is simply an exceptional attorney who I would recommend to everyone and anyone. I am a former judge, former magistrate, former prosecutor, and an attorney with 24 years of experience. I still learn from his answers on Avvo on a daily basis and I am constantly impressed.

I have known Chris Cessna for sometime. He is an excellent and nationally recognized DUI defense attorney. I have witnessed first-hand is commanding knowledge of all the forensic science in a DUI case and how he effectively uses that knowledge to destroy the prosecution's case. His experience as a former police officer and a prosecutor also add a great deal to his representation of his clients--especially at trial.

I was fortunate to have had the opportunity of working with Chris in completing the NHTSA DWI Detection and Standardized Field Sobriety Testing certification course in Denver. He has a keen understanding of how to challenge these roadside coordination exercises. I know he puts this specialized knowledge to work in skillfully defending the accused drinking driver.

I've known Chris for quite a while now, and it is a true pleasure to endorse his work. Very few lawyers have taken the time or given the level of effort to master his craft as has Chris, and that he applies this same focus to each case in his office is what sets him apart from the crowd.

Chris is a warrior for justice! I have gotten to know Chris through the National College of DUI Defense of which he is an indispensible and active contributing member. He distinguishes himself through his superior knowledge of both the law and science. His enthusiasm for providing a zealous and effective defense for those charged with drunk driving offenses is contagious and inspiring. If you or a loved one is charged with drunk driving in the Denver Colorado area, there is nobody better!

Chris is just flat out a great advocate for his clients. He is absolutely dedicated to his craft and knows the law and science as well as any defense attorney out there, and knows more than most prosecutors. Chris puts in the time and effort to make a difference in the lives of those who choose to hire him, and he is a man of absolutely impeccable character to go along with his skills. I would trust a member of my family in Chris's hands if ever in need in Colorado. You should be confident in trusting your own needs to Chris as well.

I've known Chris Cessna for a number of years now. Chris's knowledge of DUI law and police science is without equal in Colorado. As a fellow member of the National College of DUI Defense, I am in contact with Chris on a regular basis. Chris's contributions to the NCDD throughout the years have been tremendous. Many new lawyers have benefited from his insights in handling DUI cases. As a former law enforcement officer, there is no one in Colorado better suited to defend a DUI case than Chris Cessna. If I found myself in hot water for a DUI in Colorado, Chris Cessna's office is the first phone call I would make.

I have maintained a professional relationship with Chris Cessna for a number of years after meeting him at one of the nations top DWI Seminars. Chris and I connected immediately due to our mutual past law enforcement careers. Having worked as law enforcement officers gives us a tremendous advantage over all but a handful of criminal defense attorneys nationwide. I appreciate the total dedication that Chris shows his clients by attending and participating in continuing legal education. Chris goes beyond the call by attaining certifications in the areas most important to our field of law. I can personally attest to Chris' character, honesty and integrity. I am the Texas DWI Dude and I have one name on my referral list for the Denver area and that name is Chris Cessna. You can bank on that.
