Mr. Oswalt Went Above and Beyond, Highly Recommend

I hired Mr. Oswalt to help me resolve a traffic violation, and I’m so glad I did. I had reached out to several other lawyers before finding him, and most either required me to appear in court or didn’t respond to my calls. However, when I contacted Mr. Oswalt, he immediately stepped in and helped me ...out. He represented me in court and kept me fully informed about every step of the process. What really stood out was how much effort he put into ensuring I got the best possible outcome. For someone like me, who had never dealt with anything like this before, I felt completely at ease with his guidance and professionalism. Mr. Oswalt was not only extremely knowledgeable but also kind and understanding throughout the whole experience. He went far above and beyond, and I’m incredibly thankful I found him. I highly recommend Mr. Oswalt to anyone in need of legal assistance, he truly cares about his clients and delivers results.

The Best in the Midwest Legal Representation

I am currently a Commercial Driver's License holder, who ended up in a bind which could potentially jeopardize CDL and ultimately my job. I tried to speak with the DA, with no luck. I googled CDL traffic attorneys and started to read Reviews. That's when Attorney at Law Richard E. Oswalt stood out. I... called him and Mr Oswalt immediately responded. We spoke about everything I had to lose, his honesty is why I hired him as a legal representative. I must say your professional,honest demeanor and dedication to my case not only provided me with security but truly went above and beyond my expectations. I am deeply appreciative of all your hard work and when I found out he was a man of God ❤️ I most definitely recommend Richard E Oswalt P.A for anyone who needs the best of the best legal assistance. God bless and thank you again!

Great lawyer!

Had a pretty serious traffic charge, and I knew I needed a good lawyer. After looking around and reading reviews I found Mr. Oswalt. He went to court several times for me and got the best outcome Imaginable. I was looking at a pretty hefty fine but he worked hard and got me a great deal and nothing g...oes on my record. I will recommend him to anybody that ask because he's a great lawyer and a great guy.

Incredible Results -- Incredible Experience

My son received a ticket for exceeding the posted speed limit by quite a bit and it was his first ticket of his driving tenure. He is a student at a college in Kansas, but we are all from Missouri and unfamiliar with Kansas ways. I reached out to Mr. Oswalt after asking some Missouri lawyer friends... how to find a good Kansas attorney and their advice led me to him. We communicated only by phone, texting and email and Mr. Oswalt could not have been more professional, more courteous and more of an advocate for my son than he was every time we communicated. He kept us all in the loop, explained how he could help and what my son needed to do to help himself. Mr. Oswalt explained how much his fees were and that there would be no other hidden costs. A short time later, without my son having to go back to Kansas while on summer break, my son was granted a Diversion (which is something not used in Missouri) and both my son and I are extremely grateful. Hiring Dick Oswalt was an excellent decision on our part and I am very glad that we were able to seek him out and get his help. He was just terrific. His communication skills and knowledge of Kanas Law were both top-notch.

Hire Him

Called him on a whim. Been trying to figure out how to get my CDL back after a lifetime revocation. He did a review first. Thought I’d be a good candidate. So hired him. Had trouble getting documents needed from the courts and he went above and beyond. I now am able to get my CDL back and this opens ...up a whole new world for me. It’s my livelihood and now I’m able again. Couldn’t be more happy with the outcome. He cares about you as a client as well as a person.
