Excellent Lawyer

Christian Schawner helped me out a lot on my case. He was very understanding, flexible, & communicates very well. He’s done an outstanding job being my lawyer for the past months and I would recommend him again or to anyone else who needs a lawyer!

Helped put my life back together!

I was a .160 BAC and was passed out in my car after fighting with my wife. Mr. Schwaner walked me through the process. I lost the DMV hearing but got a deferred sentence in the courthouse part of the case. He had me start the classes and community service right away and that really helped me focus on... improving. I can't say enough about Mr. Schwaner or recommend him highly enough.

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
