Great lawyer!

I was in diversion for a DUI and a month away from my termination date. I had another alcohol related charge come up and was on the verge of losing my diversion. Dick was able to work with both prosecutors and get the alcohol charge dropped and help me keep my diversion. I am forever grateful for him...! His professionalism and attentiveness to the situation helped me get through an extremely tough time!

Richard Oswalt

Richard Oswalt was polite, prompt, and concise with what he could and would do for me. I understood what each step of my case entailed and what would be required of me throughout the case. An experienced and capable attorney with a proven track record was not hype. I am appreciative of him and gratef...ul for his assistance.

Double Trouble

A few months ago I contacted Mr. Oswalt regarding my younger sons revoked drivers license. He was revoked under the Habitual driving statute. Having worked with Mr. Oswalt myself on a similar matter many years before, I knew he was the one to go to with these types of cases. While working on this mat...ter, my other son plead to two separate driving while suspended charges that would have also revoked his drivers license under the habitual driving statute until 2019. After several court appearances, Mr. Oswalt was able to remove my younger sons three year habitual suspension. In addition, Mr.Oswalt went back to court and re-pled my older sons previous convictions, preventing his three year suspension as well. Both of my sons now have valid drivers licenses. I'm sure this would not have happened without the help of Mr. Oswalt. Thank you Mr. Oswalt for helping helping both of my boys.

A Life Spared

The only thing about trying to write a review of someone is that there is always so much behind the review that no one ever knows . So I will try to explain and be as short as I can. In 2013 my daughter got into some trouble with traffic tickets. I paid one lawyer $200.00 to stand in court and say 2... words, she's guilty, that was it. The next ticket I was told was an automatic 3 months in jail and up to $3,000.00 dollar fine. So this time I hired the best, Dick Oswalt . Yes it did cost more but there are no words to describe what he and the district attorney did. In June my daughter will go to K-State she will marry the man of her dreams . This is what Dick Oswalt gave my daughter a new life . Thank you and may God bless you. There are not enough stars to show my appreciation.

Definitely the Best Attorney I've ever had !

I would like to express my appreciation about a case Dick Oswalt was hired to work on. Mr. Oswalt was courteous and paid special attention to me and my concerns about my situation. He was able to give me an opportunity that I don't believe any other attorney could have done. He was up front, honest a...nd kept in touch with me throughout the process of resolving my case. If not for Mr.Oswalt's hard work and attention to detail, I would not have my commercial driver's license right now. He is definitely the best attorney I've ever had!
