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.

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 and reasonably priced

We were in need of an attorney in Colorado Springs for my son who had hit another vehicle. My son had found Christian online. Christian was pleasant, prompt at keeping us informed via email and phone and was well priced for what we needed. We would use him again if we were in need for something li...ke this, hopefully that will not be necessary but I would not hesitate should it come up.

Phenomenal

I was presented with a number of charges and allegations that I knew was not factual. Christian took the time to hear my side and at first was a little hesitant due to the drama that was talking place with it but after some consideration he agreed to help me out. He got what I feel was the best possi...ble scenario for me. He was very considerate and always answered my questions when ever I had them. He took a vacation during the time we was waiting for court and still answered my calls and was able to settle a deal while out of town. Top notch in my opinion and I would recommend him to anyone that would ask for my opinion.
