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.

I have my freedom & thank you Mr. Schwaner.

Just when all seemed to have been put behind me. In my mail box appeared to be a letter of revocation for my probation. Clearly something without a doubt that I was certain would be complicated. That's when I immediately called C.Schwaner. With his help filing motion and such. It was all cleared... up. Certainly without his expertise, I would of been put behind bars. My family and I are very thankful Mr. Scwaner.

Great Experience!

My experience with the Christian A. Schwaner firm was excellent. Christian and his team were amazing. Always very kind and helpful. Although I felt embarrassed and regretful about my situation they never once made me feel judged. They were very understanding and supportive. Christian went way abo...ve and beyond to make sure the outcome of my case was satisfactory. The situation was stressful for me but Christian was always reassuring. He helped make an unpleasant experience an almost painless one. He was always willing to answer my questions and helped me with every step of the process. The results I received were better than I ever expected. Christian helped me to get a much reduced sentence than what I had anticipated. I have talked to many people in the same situation along my journey and lots of them were very disappointed and unhappy with their representation. I feel so lucky to have found and hired Christian. I never had a single reason to be dissatisfied. I would recommend him to anyone! He is THE BEST! I will forever be grateful to him and will never be able to repay him for the help and reassurance. Thank you so much!

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!

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!

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.
