DUI

when i received my DUI I was hesitant to get an attorney, but he was very helpful and explained the process thoroughly. He took care of everything from the day I retained him. I am very pleased with the way things turned out. I would definitely recommend him.

Tried Ourselves, Jeff Saved Us

After trying to go to court alone, with what seemed like a nice deal from the DA, a judge decided that he didn't like the deal very much. Immediately after court that day, I called Jeff and he pulled my case away from that judge. Getting a weapons charge dismissed with a guilty plea to possession ...of THC, Jeff helped me to get back to traveling and enjoying life, instead of calling a number every day for potential drug screening, being stuck in longer court battles, or worse. Thank you so much Jeff!

Supremely capable, candid, diligent

Attorney Oswald helped me with an OWI/Refusal charge. He was able to negotiate the most positive outcome for me considering what I was facing and considering the complexity of the case. His obvious competence provided me with some calmness in a situation that was at times a bit overwhelming and a c...onstant burden on my mind. He and his staff, especially Amy, provided continual updates on the status of my case. Hopefully, my mistake will not be repeated, but if others get into similar trouble, I would highly recommend Attorney Oswald without a doubt, to handle the case, whether simple, or highly complex. I greatly appreciated the work he has done for me and my family.

Amazing DUI Attorney

I had gotten myself into a messy situation where I had been charged with two OWI's within 2 months. The first offense was on me, but I felt I was being unjustly charged in the second. I was in a sheer panic, researching lawyers and the legal ramifications of my second OWI. After talking to multipl...e defense lawyers I had lost all hope that I had a case or that I could afford an attorney. A friend's defense lawyer recommended I call Jeff Oswald. He told me Jeff said would shoot it to you straight and let you know if you have a case worth trying. I called his Jeff's office and Amy, his delightful assistant, set up a meeting. I experienced immediate relief sitting down with Jeff. He listened to what I had to say, asked pertinent questions, and gave me specific guidance as to how he'd defend me in court. It was clear that Jeff knew the law inside and out, and actually cared about the people he was defending. After clearing the hurdles of my first OWI, which Jeff did get the possession charges dismissed, he started attacking my second case. He communicated very clearly to me what his expectations were, what my options were, and what the prosecution was going to try to do throughout the whole process. Every time we met at court or Jeff called to update me, he asked about my well being before diving into my case. It was pure compassion from the person I least expected it, but definitely needed. After a pretty long and drawn out court appearance process, Jeff managed get my second OWI completely dismissed. Jeff is a complete professional with a passion for the law. He is caring and compassionate towards his clients and has a tireless work ethic. I would never have imagined that I would be completely free of this mess, but I am so glad that I retained Jeff Oswald.

Dedicated and Compassionate

I got myself into a situation where I was charged with 1st Degree Recklessly Endangering Safety (which is a felony), Disorderly Conduct, and an OWI-Causing Injury (which also faces jail time). I have never had any encounters with the law before and I was beyond scared of what could come of this! I a...rrived at Jeff's office for our initial consultation and when I left after just that one meeting I felt SO confident that my case was in the right hands. Two words that describe Jeff are DEDICATED and COMPASSIONATE. Dedicated: Jeff told me that day that I was to not worry about a thing from here on out and he had everything handled. He couldn't have said a more true statement. I NEVER worried about the next steps of the case. Everything was handled and he went above and beyond with every situation. If I did have a question and called or emailed Jeff, he would respond within a 1/2 hour! Once I emailed him at 7:20 A.M. thinking he would get my message when he arrived at the office...seriously at like 7:30 A.M. I had a response. His assistant Amy was also SO amazing! I would call about some paper work I had received and she just instantly took it off my hands and dealt with it. I was SO amazed by how dedicated Jeff and Amy are to each and every client! Compassionate: I was not just a "client" to Jeff...I was a real person that got myself in some trouble and he was there to help me figure this out and get my life back on track. Every time we talked it was always, "how are you doing?" "Everything going okay for you" etc. His concern for my well-being through all of this was heart-felt and true. He understands the emotions behind each and every case and he is there to understand, help, and not judge. That combined with his strong legal knowledge and skills is something you will not find with every attorney. Wondering about the outcome of my case? Jeff did exactly what he hoped to do from our initial meeting. He got the felony dropped and the "Causing Injury" of the OWI dropped. So I ended up with a disorderly conduct and a straight forward OWI. As I mentioned before though... Jeff will go above and beyond for you.... he also got the Interlock unit removed for me! Jeff is the real deal.... always straight forward, always working so hard for you and your case, and always caring about your best interest!
