Great work!

I highly recommend Richard for any of your legal needs. His vast knowledge, professionalism, and dedication in fighting for you and your specific needs clearly go above and beyond. My case was a little out of the ordinary; I currently live out of state in Texas, and wanted to clear my record on a cha...rge from almost two decades ago. Once he was "officially" hired, he came out of the gate running. His professional friendships and years of experience in Colorado quickly shed light on an otherwise dismal situation. While I firmly believed probation was the best outcome I could possible hope for, Richard and his team took my case and defended me to the best of their ability, which resulted in a dismissal. I can not state how thankful and appreciative I am, and how (God forbid) if I'm ever in need of his services again I wouldn't hesitate in entrusting the outcome into his capable hands. For all my friends and family still living in Colorado, I will be sure to recommend his services if they are ever needed. You're taking your life and future in your hands when you select a lawyer to represent you; you can't ask for a better lawyer than Mr. Ott.

Dick succeeded where others failed!

My previous attorney sucked. Dick came in and saved the day and had the case dismissed within a week of being hired. He fought hard for me to get a fair result. He is relentless! Hire him!

Case dismissed

Dick did a great job handling my case which resulted in a dismissal by the DA. He knows the ins and outs of the system and knows many within the DA as he has practiced for roughly 30 years. My case was ultimately dismissed, and I'd highly recommend using Dick to defend you in a criminal case.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
