I contacted Christian for a DUI case after being told multiple times by other lawyers that there was no hope in helping my case. Christian went above and beyond to help me, and I would not be where I am today without him!

Best Outcome!

When you get a DUI, there’s immediately so much to do! Number one on the list is get a lawyer; but how do you know who the right lawyer is. Honestly, I took a leap of faith with Mr. Schwaner. I’m glad I did. He really helped me get through a dark situation legally, and he even offered words of encour...agement as I completed tasks. I really felt as if he was on my side— even thought I know I was wrong. In the end, he was able to get me a deferment. Do not go through this process without a lawyer, and Mr. Schwaner is an A1 lawyer.

Very grateful!

Mr. Schwaner not only provides great service and advice, he also seems to really care. He is very forthcoming about what is going on and takes you step by step thru the process. Miss McKinney also is very kind and helpful. They always got right back to me whenever I had any questions or concerns. I a...m very grateful.
