What People Are Saying About Detwiler Law

Elizabeth C.
I highly recommend this attorney office for their exceptional service and professionalism. Throughout my experience, I found the staff to be informative, supportive, and consistently attentive to my needs. My attorney has represented my interests effectively and has always provided steadfast support. I have complete trust in both my attorney and the staff, and their commitment to client satisfaction is commendable.

I cannot thank Chris enough for the incredible job he did representing me at trial. From start to finish, he was confident, extremely well prepared, and completely in command of the courtroom.

Watching him work was honestly impressive, he challenged the prosecution at every turn, exposed weaknesses in their case, and presented my defense with clarity and precision. His cross-examinations were sharp, strategic, and effective, and his closing argument was outstanding.

Because of Chris’s hard work and skill, I was able to receive not guilty verdicts on all four charges. That result speaks for itself.

If you want an attorney who will truly fight for you, come prepared, and perform when it matters most, Chris is the one you want in your corner. I’m beyond grateful for his dedication and professionalism. 10/10!!

Thank you, Mr. Detwiler, and your entire staff for your hard work and support in getting my case dismissed in court. I truly appreciate your professionalism, guidance, and dedication throughout this process. Your efforts made a difficult situation much easier to navigate, and I am grateful for everything you have done for me.

Christopher Dettewiler is an awesome Attorney. He is a showman, a professional, and feels like a long time friend or a day one family member. Working with him and his administration on my DWI Case reminded me of the time I spent in the Army with my battle buddies. We had a great time, they kept my spirits up, and actually gave a damn about me, my case, and the effect it was having in my private and professional life. In the end I was proven innocent and am free to travel back overseas back to my wife and my career without the fear of losing my life's work and future goals. Chris and his office will fight for you and/or beside you. The most important thing to me is that after the fight Chris and his office will still be there to make sure you're OK, and laugh it off with you. I would recommend Christopher Dettewiler to all of of my military and contracting piers if they ever find themselves in need of an attorney and a battle buddy.

Worth the money, worth to brothership.

Outstanding service from start to finish. Thank you!
Danielle B.
I could not be more thankful for Attorney Christopher, from the first phone call I knew hiring him would be the best decision I could make. I still stand by that. He is very knowledgeable, and very much about his clients. Not only is he very personable, but his paralegals as well. Extremely sweet, and caring. I’ll never forget calling the office and (I wish I knew her name) I explained to her how life had been turned upside from this assault, and she told me “make sure you take care of yourself” and she will never know how much I needed those words. This office is phenomenal and deserves all the stars. I will always recommend! Thank you to everyone in the office, and thank you Chris!
