Beyond satisfied!

I came to Christian after doing something very irresponsible, and with serious charged to contend with. I was both new to Colorado, as well as the Justice system itself, as it was my first scrape with the law. Needless to say, I was dealing with a lot of anxiety and stress regarding my future. To me,... that is the primary way in which Christian distinguished himself as an attorney. He has a calm, self possessed demeanor that projects very clearly that you are in capable hands, and he was always there if I had any questions. I felt very much like I was a priority for him. I went into this case certain that my life was about to change forever, but Christian was able to procure me a deal that I hadn't even deemed a possibility going in. I have another chance now to live the life I want without an albatross and it's all thanks to Christian Schwaner. I would definitely recommend him to anybody who needs top rate legal counsel, but also wants their attorney to be available and able to help extinguish those bouts of existential angst that tend to rise up when charged with a crime. 5/5. Beyond satisfied!

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!

Knowledgeable and Professional

I received the best possible outcome in my case by following Christian's outstanding guidance. His knowledge greatly reduced my stress during the entire process. I highly recommend Mr. Schawner if you need a DUI/DWI lawyer.
