Testimonials
While many attorneys can handle your DUI or criminal case, few actually have the background and experience to properly navigate these cases. Denver DUI Attorney, Chris Cessna, has numerous credentials and testimonies that give truth to his claims.
When I began looking for lawyers to defend me on my DUI charge I really felt like any light at the end of the tunnel was beginning to disappear until my family and I met with Chris. Even though the initial meeting with him was supposed to be about the process and not focused on how to fight the charge my family and I left with much more knowledge and answers to questions we didn't even know we had, making it apparent to us we had found the right lawyer. [...] I had never felt so much relief in my life until the day the case was dismissed. I can't imagine how things would have impacted my life if I had not placed my future in Chris' hands, and for that I have an infinite amount of gratitude towards him.
My experience with Mr. Cessna made a difficult time much smoother. He was always available to answer my barrage of questions. It was very clear his years of experience makes him one of the best criminal defense lawyers in the Denver metro. I would recommend Mr. Cessna to anyone that wants an involved lawyer that is always available to answer questions.
During our initial meeting, I felt a sense of ease as [Chris] listened to our case and explained to us in detail the legal aspects of Josh's case, the steps involved with a DUI and the ramifications specific to Colorado law. [...] You never promised us anything, but instead, gave us realistic options. There were moments where (the father) and I were thinking of just the here and now, but with your experience in these situations coupled with wanting to do what was best for (our son), we prevailed. If we ever hear of anyone in need of a DUI attorney we can genuinely say we know of an experienced and caring lawyer.
Mr. Cessna was absolutely professional and knows everything to know about the law. I would highly recommend him to anyone that is going through a DUI or DUR charge. I’m grateful he was my lawyer and advised me all the way through to the end. Chris can help you tremendously through your difficult time and work hard to give you excellent service. I will be forever grateful for him.
