Serious Traffic violation

I got a very bad Traffic violation Mr. Christian guided defended me , And still looking out for me after my case by guided me throughout all the process, it is very easy to communicate with him. Very patient not like other lawyers they just wanna get your money. Mr. Christian really wants to help you..., By getting involved in your case. El señor Christian me guió y defendió en mi duro caso de violacion de tráfico y es fácil comunicarse con el no como otros abogados son duros y fríos el te guía y lo sigue haciendo hsta ahora en mi caso y el proceso yo lo recomiendo personalmente.

Huge help

He was more than helpful and knows the system real well . Even before he had any of my money he still took time to explain everything and direct me in the right direction. I’ve definitely learned a lot of this experience and hope to never be in any trouble ever again. But if you need help with a lawy...er and don’t wanna waste your money , go with someone who has worked with the courts here for a long time . I don’t ever even write a review but maybe this can help someone make a right decision after a bad one .

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!

Highly recommended.

Dealing with a DUI presents a number of setbacks and struggles, but Christian was there every step of the way and continues to be. He has dealt with my case with the upmost sensitivity and knowledge and am very grateful for his services. He's very knowledgeable about the legal process and relays this... knowledge in a way that is easy to follow for someone who is unfamiliar with the system. I would recommend him to anyone presented with a similar situation as myself.

Avvo Rating

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.
