Client Testimonials:
The following are real client testimonials. Some have been slightly edited to assure client confidentiality:
After researching Denver area DUI attorneys, I selected Chris Cessna to represent me in a very complex case. I was impressed with Chris due in large part to his background in law enforcement and prosecution of alcohol related driving offenses. As I came to more fully appreciate, Chris’ understanding of the legal system and ability to adapt to very fluid situations presented by that same legal system were even more impressive.
First, through his representation in a license revocation hearing with DMV, Chris was successful in my retaining my driver privileges. More importantly, the legal defense strategy employed by Chris, and his recognition of when to “seize the moment” in court, resulted in a plea bargain to a non-alcohol related traffic offense.
Chris has surrounded himself with a truly outstanding support staff. Haley Summers deserves special mention here. During the year and a half I was associated with Haley, I found her to be extremely client-focused, professional, positive, and thoroughly polished in her dealings with me.
To Chris, Haley, and the rest of the Cessna Law Firm support staff I want to express my sincerest and deepest appreciation and thanks.
- A Satisfied Client (after his DUI with a .217 BAC was dismissed at trial)
When I first met Chris he was so busy that we could only talk by phone not in person. I must admit I was a little concerned about hiring an attorney that I had never met in person. It turned out it was one of the best decisions I have ever made. If you are looking for an attorney that will mercilessly fight for you through the courts on a DUI charge Chris is that attorney. He specializes in DUI law and with the courts being as politicized as they are today you need an attorney like Chris to balance the odds that are so very against you. In my case Chris was to get my multi offense DUI reduced to a reckless driving which I might add was above and beyond what I expected. You may find Chris to be a little more money than some of the others but in my opinion and he was worth every penny.
- A Satisfied Client (after getting his 3rd DUI dismissed after motions)
Dear Chris,
It is without a doubt that I made the best possible choice when I came to you to represent me for a third DUI I was faced with. Without your knowledge and expertise I dread to think what could have happened to me. It is because of you that my third DUI was reduced to a reckless driving ticket.
Both you and Hayley were reliable, efficient, extremely competent, and provided some much needed support through a difficult time. I would recommend you to anyone who is in need of a DUI attorney. I would like to express my sincerest gratitude for everything you have done. My family and I cannot thank you enough for all your hard work.
Thank you,
- A Satisfied Client (after her 3rd DUI was dismissed by prevailing at the motions hearing when the judge made legal findings that the arresting officer was lying under oath and had fabricated the events of the arrest)
Dear Chris,
I wanted to let you know how much we appreciate everything you have done for us. Without you and your knowledge of the DUI laws we would never have been able to fight the injustices of our so-called "justice" system. You are, without a doubt, the top-of-the-line defense attorney for DUI charges. I hope and pray that we will never again need your services, but if we ever do I will call you first. Your kindness, compassion, and concern for my son meant so much to me. I will be forever grateful for all you have done. Please tell Haley we are also thankful to her and all of her help in this matter. The Cessna Law Firm is absolutely the best.
- The mother of a satisfied client who was acquitted by a jury on all drinking and driving charges.
After being hesitant regarding the cost and necessity of retaining an attorney for my case, I can now say that hiring Chris Cessna was the best decision I could have made. He and his staff handled the logistics and technicalities that are involved with the process that I could have never taken care of on my own. I took comfort in that a knowledgeable professional was handling my case and I could trust what needed to be done would be. I’m 100% satisfied with the outcome of my case and I have the Cessna Law Office to thank for it.
- A satisfied Client after our office obtained dismissal of all DUI counts upon the filing of motions.
Chris was a blessing to me. I found myself in a tight spot and through his professionalism and knowledge of the law, as well as the best credentials in the state to serve me in the type of trouble I was facing; he was able to get me through the trials and tribulations associated with the legal system without a scratch. I have never worked with a more professional attorney. He served as an advocate and as a counsel. At no time was I concerned regarding the outcome of my case as Chris was confident and assuring and I knew that as long as I had him on my side, we would prevail. He has a wonderful personality and demonstrated excellent skills that I associate with a professional of his caliber, a good listener, excellent reasoning skills and creativity. If you are looking for an attorney that will serve you to the best of his ability that looks at you as a person and not a case, that is truly empathic, then I wholeheartedly recommend Chris Cessna. All my thanks to you sir as well as to Hayley. She was a dream with whom to work.
- A Satisfied Client after all driving under the influence of drugs (DUID) charges were completely dismissed in the early stages of the case.
Hayley (Mr. Cessna’s Paralegal),
I just wanted to let you know that Chris did a wonderful job in representing my interests over the past 10 months. I really could not have asked for better legal counsel and am very happy with his services and the outcome. He is a very skilled attorney in his chosen area of focus and I will recommend him to anyone who faces the same disposition as myself.
Please pass on my gratitude to Chris (I would thank him via email but don't really have his email) and my best regards to his continued success. I thanked him in person, but feel it is necessary to thank him one last time.
Also, if Chris is ever interested in trying to get individuals together for some type of action against the Colorado DMV, I would be more than happy to contribute both financially and personally. The "unprotected" class in this state needs to have a voice and the DMV is not playing fair at the moment. I don't imagine that will end until someone finds a way to get them into a real court of law.
I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Chris Cessna for his excellent representation in my son's DUI case. From the initial consultation through the successful culmination of the jury trial, Chris was up front, honest and immensely knowledgeable. As a mother whose instinct is to protect her child, I felt confident that my son was in the best possible hands. During the trial process, I was amazed at this ability to "think on his feet" in response to each motion, ruling and testimony. From his attention to detail, both in his legal research and during the jury trial (he knew each potential juror's name and personal information with no written notes) to his thoroughness in "leaving no stone unturned", Chris was awesome! And with Chris Cessna as your attorney, not only will you get excellent legal representation, you will get someone who genuinely cares about the person, not just the case. Thanks, Chris.

Chris & Hayley,
Thank you so much for everything. If I know anyone who needs legal help, you will be the first person they call. I can’t thank you enough! Best wishes to you both!
- A Satisfied Client after our office obtained a dismissal of her 3rd DUI.
Mr. Cessna,
Thank you again so much for all of the hard work and time that you put into my case and trial. We obviously couldn’t be more pleased with the outcome and we were very impressed with your professionalism and presence in the courtroom. Thanks for everything, we will definitely pass your name along and we look forward to seeing you at the (restaurant) with your family!
- A Satisfied Client (and his wife) after the jury acquitted him of all DUI charges.
Chris,
I would like to send you a sincere note of appreciation for all you did for my son! After a year and a half of waiting, I heard that you shined in court. A friend of mine's son, who is an, attorney in Salida, CO, informed us you were the best, as long as the incident did not occur in Weld County! You did it anyway! Bless you Chris!
Chris-
This being my first experience dealing with a legal issue, I was very fearful and nervous to be facing DUI charges. I felt much better after speaking with you. Your background and experience with the law helped to put my mind at ease and focus on the details of the case. You gave me sound advice throughout the process. Without your diligence and willingness to comb through the details, I know the outcome would have not been favorable. Thank you so much for all the time and effort you put into defending me. With your hard work my charges were dismissed and I could not be happier. Even the DA’s Office of Weld County knows how “good” you are. I could not help but smile when I heard the DA tell the peace officer that Mr. Cessna “is on the ball and knows his stuff”. The DA could not have been more correct! You are hands down the best DUI lawyer and you truly care about the clients you serve. I will recommend you to anyone I know that needs legal assistance. Thank you again for all you have done on my behalf.
I just wanted to express my thanks to Chris Cessna for his help in a case in Aspen yesterday. He came in at the last moment when our planned expert bailed on us. We qualified Chris as an expert in SFSTs (standardized field sobriety tests), and he did a great job. Thanks again Chris.
Hi Chris, I just wanted to say, "Thank You," for all of your help and support during my case. I hope all is going great for you and I wish you the best. Take care.
- A Satisfied Client After her Second DUI was Dismissed at Motions Hearing.
Chris Cessna worked diligently and explored every avenue of defense pertaining to my case. Through his perseverance, Chris got me a deal that I never thought possible. Chris Cessna is not just an attorney; he is your friend and counselor in trying times.
- A Satisfied Client - our office got this client's first DUI dismissed for which this letter was written. We then got this client's second DUI arrest dismissed almost a year later.
"Thank you very much for all your help. I don't know how I can express my feelings and appreciation to you. It has been a long year for us - we went into depression and anger. Mr. Cessna, without you, we could have not done anything. YOU ARE THE BEST DUI ATTORNEY. You are not only a great attorney but also a great person. I am so glad that I met you. We hope to see you again. Once again, thank you very much, Mr. Cessna."
"I want to thank you for the fine service that you provided for my son. Everything you did was of the highest quality, and we are deeply appreciative that you were able to help us in a time of need. I would and will recommend your services to anyone and will certainly call upon you again if the need arises. "
- Father of a Satisfied Client
"I would like to thank you for a job well done. Good job. I'm so happy. Excellent job."
- A Satisfied Client (after his case was dismissed at trial)
"This note comes to express my gratitude to you for your kindness. Thank you for taking care of the matter for (my grandson). Considering what you saved him from, he seems to be looking at life a lot differently now. Thanks for everything. "
- Grandmother of a Satisfied Client
"I was so relieved with the outcome. This is what I asked of you from the initial consultation. I felt very good about how you put my legal defense and it showed up aggressively in court. Thanks."
"Thank you for help in this situation. You have been professional, but approachable. I would recommend you to friends without hesitation. "

"Thanks for all the help and honest thoughts on my case. Your honest opinions helped me to make correct decisions."
"Thanks for all of your help. Your professional attitude mixed with compassion for my anxiety made a difficult time easier. I never had any doubts or concerns trusting you with my case and I feel the outcome was reasonable and fair. I would recommend your services to anyone. Thanks Chris! "
"Chris. I have been very impressed with you. I feel that you are an excellent attorney and if I am in need of legal advice in the future, I will definitely retain you again."
"Thank you very much (for getting my DUI dismissed)."
"I do appreciate everything you did for me. You took my case more seriously than I did. Thank you for all of your help."
"Chris was very professional and helpful in traveling to Kansas from Denver to assist us in this case. Great job."
"Not an experience I would ever want to relive, but you helped make it easier to get through. Thanks!"
"Chris is an awesome lawyer and takes all of his cases seriously. I would definitely use him (again) in the future. "
"We would like to let you know that we appreciate all you've done for us. Thanks again for all you've done!"

"Thanks for your help. Your knowledge of traffic law made all the difference. "
"I wanted to take a moment to show my appreciation for what you have done for me. Joining the Coast Guard wasn't even part of my case. You found that out on your own when you took the time to get to know a little about me. Not as a client, but because you wanted to. Then you went out of your way and didn't just fight my case; you fought it with my future as your top priority. My son and I did not have six months to wait for our lives to get on track. You made it possible so that we did not have to wait, and my goal of joining the Coast Guard could begin right away. I can't begin to thank you enough for all that you have done for me."
"Please accept my thanks for the way you treated me and handled my legal problem. It's a pleasure to have someone to call when I need legal help."

"Chris is a very good attorney. He is also very personable and truly cares about the people he defends."
- A Satisfied Client (after getting his DUI and BUI cases dismissed at motions hearings)
"Honestly, I feel that you were a great lawyer. You got everything I needed taken care of quickly (getting my charges dismissed). "
"I was completely satisfied with the representation, and you achieved the results I sought."
"Chris is a wonderful lawyer who goes above and beyond the normal call of duty. He was able to get a DWAI charge fully dismissed in my case and made it very painless to accomplish that. I spent a total of 2 hours in court through a 3 month period, which in my opinion is unheard of in DUI cases in the state of Colorado. Chris worked diligently and had more patience than most people I have met in my lifetime. I would refer Chris to everyone I know in a DUI situation that wanted correct and valuable representation."
"Chris Cessna worked diligently and explored every avenue of defense pertaining to my case. Through his perseverance, Chris got me a deal that I never thought possible."
