Rich Hutton is the best DUI lawyer in the state of California. I've seen firsthand this lawyer's work in the courtroom. It was back in 2001, in Case No. 0MT12598, in front of Judge Barry in Los Angeles (Metro) where Rich Hutton took me to school. I was a deputy city attorney (prosecutor) and we squared off in a DUI jury trial. He won. Not guilty on both counts.

Rich Hutton is truly an outstanding attorney. I say the following without any reservation - Rich Hutton is the best criminal defense attorney I've ever met. If I got in trouble with the law I would hire him. He's a lawyer's lawyer.

Richard is one of the most experienced DUI attorneys in LA County. Specializes in manslaughter cases. Creative, intelligent, feared by prosecutors. Recommended!

Mr. Hutton is an exemplary attorney. I would refer anyone and everyone to him on a regular basis. Despite the fact that I have been a judge, magistrate, prosecutor, and private attorney for over 24 years, I continue to learn from him daily from his Avvo posts. I would recommend that you hire him in an instant.

This man is a legend. I hear stories about his conquest and listen to his lectures. Many young lawyers including myself look up to him. There is no questioning his skills.

Rich may be the best DUI trial attorney I know. He knows everything about DUI defense and I would have no hesitation using him and referring my clients to him. He has my highest confidence. Great attorney.
Donald Drewry, DUI and DWI Attorney on Oct 14, 2009

I endorse this lawyer because he is a lawyer's lawyer. His unique style is slow and methodical with all the proper calculations in place. Experienced beyond that of five (5) lawyers of top quality all rolled into one: Richard Hutton. When the top DUI lawyers have problems they don't know how to address, they call Richard for advice. A winning record and a leader. If you are in trouble with a criminal charge, you are at the right location and in the best possible hands if you have hired Richard Alan Hutton to defend you; I would.
