Review Christian Samuelson

Outstanding Criminal Defense Lawyer!

Posted by JessicaTue May 22 2012

Chris represented me on a challenging DUI case out of El Paso County, Colorado. He saw a defense where other attorneys didn't, and used my Express Consent hearing to develop his theory of the case. Although we lost the EC hearing, the Trooper's testimony during the hearing showed that Chris was right about a flaw in the State's case, which ultimately led to a dismissal of my DUI charge!
