I am incredibly grateful for the support Mr. Reid provided during a challenging DUI case that could have had VERY serious consequences for me. His extensive knowledge and willingness to answer all my questions made a significant difference. In the courtroom, he demonstrated exceptional skill and confidence. If I ever need legal assistance again, he will be my first choice without a doubt. I’m so glad I took his advice to go to trial, as it resulted in a strong defense and a successful outcome!

Mr Reid DeChant helped my very close friend come out of a very tough case that would have affected his life in a very big way. He's very knowledgeable, always answered and was available for questions. He was amazing in court, definitely the best lawyer here in Colorado. I would only trust him if I ever needed it. My friend is so happy that he listened to his advice and went to trial because he got the best defense and WON!

After my first car accident, I was feeling overwhelmed and unsure of what to do given things had gone the opposite of what I had expected. My out-of-state lawyer friend recommended getting a lawyer and also recommended Reid DeChant. After reading his great reviews and meeting with Mr. DeChant, I felt confident he could help me. He was always willing to answer my many questions, ensuring I understood the process and potential outcomes. His response time was excellent, and I never felt left in the dark. Ultimately, he was able to get the charges dropped, which was the best possible outcome for me. Mr. DeChant is experienced, knowledgeable, and supportive. I'm thankful for his help during this scary and traumatizing experience. I highly recommend DeChant Law to anyone in need of a great lawyer.

If you’re looking for someone who is going to go tooth and nail for your case, look no further. A friend and I had our backs pinned against the wall due to a lack of fire investigation in a case. Reid worked with us through many hours of the week and even though his planned PTO to ensure our case was properly handled. Reid knows his stuff and does it with passion and perseverance. We won the case due to Reid putting together a stellar presentation and crucial evidence. In a case that seemed insurmountable, Reid found a way.

I lack the words to truly capture the experience of working with and receiving Mr. DeChant's legal counsel. I would start, with expressing how thankful I am to have recieved it. From the very first conversation he showed great care, courtesy and concern for myself and my case. He worked tirelessly to seek out a real resolution to what was an extremely unfortunate set of circumstances. I believe that he is guided by a genuine desire to use his expertise to help, opposed to more typical motivating factors. I would recommend anyone, in need of guidance to reach out to Reid for TRUE councel.

I recently acquired legal representation from Reid DeChant. I could not be happier! Reid represented me for an alleged DWAI in Del Norte Colorado with a refusal to do the breathalyzer or blood test. Not only did I retain my license through the DMV (which is rare for a refusal), but Reid got the legal charges dismissed as well! I only plead guilty to a speeding ticket. I called many Law Offices and 2 of them actually referred me to Reid. Reid is a DUI specialists/expert, and may be the best in the state. Other law firms actually hire Reid to go to trial for their clients. Reid is also reasonably priced. If you got a DUI or DWAI, you should call Reid immediately! My case got dismissed before going to Jury Trial, but I almost wish I got to see him in action at trial! Even if you don’t hire him, he will advise you and explain some things to you as well. However, it would be in your best interest to hire him. Reid is easy to communicate with, honest, fair! Thank you Mr DeChant!

As Reid asked me at the end of my case, "Do you have any other questions that I can answer?", my response was, "What was your angelic name in Heaven?" Reid was truly my guardian angel through this very difficult process. He treated me like family and cared about the results of my case. If you are going through a DUI, there is no one in the Denver or surrounding area that will take your case as personally as Reid DeChant and DeChant Law Firm. My life would be completely different right now had I not employed his services. Thanks again Reid.

Reid provides expert, affordable criminal defense or legal counsel. Reid takes care of you & your case during the whole process. I could not have made it through to a case/charges dismissed outcome without Reid. He responded on the weekend during a very stressful time. Reid communicated clearly & consistently and never left me hanging. Believe me, he is the right choice for your defense and life. Thank you, Reid!

Reid is the real deal! Great communication the entire time, shared new information the minute he got it. Mr. DeChant is VERY well respected in the courtroom. He was recognized by judges, DAs & other professionals in the court room on more than one occasion. I certainly didn't have an easy case. Despite my already being on probation with priors in another county. Facing new charges that faced a minimum of 8 years. Reid handled both fronts of the case in both counties and I was able to walk away without being sentenced to a minute in prison and even got some time shaved off the probation i was already serving! Took all the stress off me the entirety of the case. Highly recommend!

Thank you for taking the time to write this thoughtful review. I always find it interesting to hear how clients notice things in court like how others interact with me in the courtroom. In the moment it doesn't cross my mind to think if you are paying attention to the small details. It feels great to know you were able to see those interactions and how I hold myself to a high professionalism standard. So thank you for noticing that and providing that feedback, as it hits home for me. I know it was a very stressful situation and I hope I was able to help alleviate some of the stress throughout the process and continue to be available if you need me in the future, but hopefully you don't!

I can't recommend Reid enough! He did an absolutely amazing job with my case. From the beginning, he was both professional and friendly, making me feel comfortable and supported throughout a very scary and difficult process. His exceptional knowledge of the legal system was evident, and he always took the time to explain everything clearly, which made the whole experience much easier for me. What truly stood out was his availability?I never felt alone because he was always there when I needed help or had questions. Thanks to his dedication and expertise, I got the best possible result in my opinion. If you're looking for a top-notch criminal defense lawyer in Denver, look no further than Reid!

Your expertise and knowledge in getting me the best outcome exceeded our expectations. Impressive how quickly you always responded to all my questions, concerns, and kept me updated at all times. My sincere appreciation for NOT treating me like just another case, but rather with an understanding of a young person who made a mistake.

Reid DeChant's legal representation and expertise in handling our two seperate stacked misdmeanor cases was beyond exceptional. He tenaciously navigated through these time-sensitive complicated cases and prepared remarkable strategies that ultimately led to the very best outcome. The outstanding results of getting both cases dismissed, exceeded our expectations. It is rare to find a Lawyer that has qualities such as those that DeChant has. We were impressed by his dedication, professionalism, attentiveness and especially the empathy he extended to us: it gave us peace of mind. Throughout the entire representation, he always responded promptly and thoroughly to all our questions, concerns, and kept us updated. If you are seeking exceptional representation and the best outcome, call DeChant Law. You will not be disappointed.

If you?re looking for a lawyer, who really puts in the time and dedication into your case, definitely talk to Reid and see what he can do for you! I talked to several lawyers before I chose him I currently have three domestic violence allegations against me. One being a felony and he has done a great job working with the DA to try and get rid of the felony charge and to possibly drop my other charges if not get them dismissed. And he will always email or call you back as soon as you contact him really do appreciate all the hard work you put in for me. Thank you!!

I can't express how thankful I am that you are who you are and what you did. I owe you so very much and I will be FOREVER grateful and thankful that YOU were/are a part of my life in this most challenging time Reid.

I wanted to express my deepest delight for your willingness to represent a shattered person. I paid attorneys excessive fees to have my records closed with no results and no explanation. No one seemed to recognize the ongoing trauma from careless deceptive accusations. Your simple act of accepting and representing me was a validation I could still be a respected member of society, not a reprehensible felon. As my advocate your genuine empathy, tenacity, and understanding of my needs and concerns effectively resulted in a positive outcome. I strongly recommend Reid DeChant as an exceptional attorney. He is the mixture of all the qualities that should be present to navigate an unpredictable and indifferent system. He has a strong ability to draw reasonable and logical assumptions from limited information and creatively find workable solutions.

Mr. DeChant was very accommodating despite being up against a very short deadline before the trial. He always made sure all my questions were answered and I was well informed about what was happening with my case.

I truly can not put into words how diligent and down right effective Reid is. It says something when you hear the DA trying to prosecute you, talking about this man as soon as he steps into the court room. From start to finish, Reid informed me of absolutely every single one of my options moving forward with my case. Made sure time and time again that I understood the potential outcomes of each option, and was there 24/7 if I had any questions. When filing motions, he also made a point to make sure my concerns were addressed to the court promptly. Hands down one of the smartest human beings I know and very impressive seeing him work. He got my case dropped and sealed T minus 18 hours before trial. 100% recommend and is now my one and only attorney. Reid, thank you!
