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.

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.

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!

SENT FROM GOD

I have been battling with my driver’s license for years, and recently had my driver’s license revoked for 3 years under the Habitual Driving statute. In addition, I had multiple new court cases, and was facing Driving while suspended charges number #4 and #5. I had been told by many attorneys that t...here was nothing I could do. Because I needed my driver’s license to work I was looking online to find states that offer a hardship license and was preparing to leave the state when I saw Dick Oswalt’s webpage. Still not having much hope I decided to call him, I figured he would tell me the same thing that every other lawyer had told me but decided to call as my final attempt before just leaving it all behind. After our initial conversation my hope began to grow. This hope grew more with each conversation until my privileges to drive actually got reinstated. During the time prior to contact with Dick Oswalt I felt like the world was coming down around me, facing jail time, losing my family and having to lose my business, I didn’t know where to turn and felt like the only option was to run away from it all. I believe with all of my heart that God put Dick in my life not only as an attorney but a friend, and my life is much better for having met the man, and have gained much from not only being able to drive but the life lessons I’ve learned from our many discussions. I believe that he cares for his clients they are not just a paycheck to him. He returned everyone of my phone calls, and gives clients the personal attention lacking in so many law offices. Thank you Dick, for providing hope in a hopeless situation.

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!
