Recognized in Ones to Watch since 2027 
Reid DeChant brings experience as a public defender and graduate of the Trial Lawyers College to his work defending clients throughout Denver, Colorado. At DeChant Law, he focuses on understanding each client’s background, circumstances, and goals in order to present a complete and compelling story in court. Whether negotiating with prosecutors, appearing before judges, or presenting a defense at trial, Reid works to ensure clients are seen as individuals rather than defined by a single allegation or moment in time.
Reid’s practice includes criminal defense matters with a strong focus on DUI and impaired driving cases. He is particularly interested in the scientific and technical issues involved in these cases, including breath testing, blood testing, and Standardized Field Sobriety Tests. While DUI allegations may initially appear straightforward, Reid carefully examines the evidence, police procedures, and testing methods to identify weaknesses and inconsistencies that may impact the case.
To strengthen his understanding of DUI investigations, Reid completed the same Standardized Field Sobriety Test training course used by law enforcement officers. This training helps him evaluate whether roadside testing was administered properly and whether the results should be challenged. His approach to criminal defense emphasizes detailed case analysis, preparation, and personalized representation for every client.
At DeChant Law, Reid represents individuals facing a wide range of criminal defense matters in Denver and throughout Colorado. His recognized practice areas include Criminal Defense: General Practice.
