Handled case in a professional manner

Dick handled a very difficult case where I was accused of driving without a license. It was a mixup and he got the court and DMV to staighten it out.

Mario Batres

My name is Mario Batres and i am cdl driver from fontna,ca. I got into a traffic violation and i was looking for lawyer in Reno county and i spoke with like three more lawyers and none of them told that they were able to do something with my case. So, then i found Richard Evans Oswalt. The way he tal...ked to me made me think that he was a honest person. I am glad that I hired him he really helped me in my case when no other lawyer could help me. so I am really thankful to this lawyer and I not just not found a really good lawyer but i found an understandable person that could help people in need.

Amazing Lawyer

Very Thankful for Mr. Oswalt! I currently live out of state. I came down to KS to visit some family. During my trip, I was pulled over for speeding. I was not aware that my drivers license was suspended for a failure to comply ticket violation and was arrested. However, the ticket was paid prior to... suspension and KS was not informed. To make a long story short, Id research KS Lawyers and base off all the reviews I chose to go with Mr. Oswalt. I am glad I did. Not only did he live up to all the positive reviews but also what he stands for in his practice. My case was dismissed. The amazing thing about all of this is that I've NEVER met Mr. Oswalt and all of his assistance were over the phone, faxing and emails. He worked my case as if I was sitting right in front of him.

Drivers' License Reinstatement

Got my drivres' license revoked for 3 years. About a year and a half into it, I decided I couldn't take it anymore. Cabs were getting too expensive, I could barely find transportation for basic everyday needs, and my daughter was about to start school soon. Everyone I knew (including professionals) t...old me there was no chance I would get my license back before the end of my revocation period. For a father, a year and 6 months is just way too long to go without wheels. While researching traffic lawyers in Kansas, Oswalt's name was among the first few to pop up, and for good reason. I gotta admit, at first, I doubted the reviews were real, they just sounded too good to be true. But this guy's the real deal. I got Oswalt on the case and within 2 months, my habitual offense was lifted and I was no longer on revoked status. Even after he did his "lawyerly duties", he still kept an open line of communication and encouraged me to call back if I had any more problems or questions. I've never had a lawyer be as patient and truely concerned with my case. Prayers really do get answered and the work that Mr. Oswalt does is proof! My only regret is not calling him sooner!

recommended!!

Got stopped for window tint and found out my liscense was suspended.. searched online to see what kind of trouble I was in and found Mr Oswalts website. Gave him a call and let him know what the situation was. He was professional kind and actually seemed to care about the situation. Went over everyth...ing and found out I was looking at habitual violator and losing liscense 3 years for prior dui and two new charges of driving on suspended and no proof of insurance. Thot I had insurance at first then found out it was cancelled 2 days before court and Mr oswalt still took care of things... kept my license and still driving can not thank him enough.. 7 outta 5! Thanks, Brian c Abilene ks
