We have not found any cost information for this lawyer
I have dedicated my career to criminal defense work, which began as an attorney with the Colorado State Public Defender's Office. Towards the end of my career as a public defender I worked extensively on post-conviction matters, including appeals and ineffective assistance of counsel claims pursuant to Crim. P. 35(c). Now I practice in both areas as an attorney with DeChant Law Firm.

From start to finish I’m glad I didn’t call anyone else. Very informative for the entire process, never felt given up on and in the end CASE DISMISSED. What more could you ask for? Thanks to John and Reid for the final result and standing by my side throughout the process!
