Exceptional DUI Attorney Mr. Oswalt .

Exceptional DUI Attorney Mr. Oswalt. I cannot thank enough Mr.Oswalt, the attorney for his incredible work on my DUI case. He was knowledgeable, professional, and completely dedicated from start to finish. He took the time to explain every step of the process, answered all my questions promptly, an...d made a very stressful situation much easier to handle. His experience with DUI cases truly showed in the outcome. He explored every possible option, protected my rights, and achieved the best result I could have hoped for. I felt supported and confident throughout the entire process. I highly recommend this attorney to anyone facing a DUI charge and looking for someone who is honest, skilled, and genuinely cares about their clients.

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.

Excellent lawyer

If you are looking for a honest, hardworking, get it done lawyer this is the one! He handled everything from court appearances, getting us to all the correct required classes, dealing with Drivers Solutions in Kansas all while we were in another state. He fought hard, negotiated smartly and got issu...es reduced and resolved!! After dealing with many issues, a legal drivers license was obtained! Was always available when we had questions and was very patient to explain everything precisely and clear!! Thank you, Dick

Miracles do happen

Richard E Oswalt P. A. Attorney at Law, came highly recommended to us by another lawyer that felt our case fell into the realms of his expertise. We found Mr.Oswalt to be easy to talk to, honest, sincere and dedicated to community and client. Before taking our case, he did his due diligence on the ...background of the situation to determine if a second chance was warranted. With sincere appreciation and utmost respect we are forever grateful!
