Mr. Huttner is a life saver! I was facing my 2nd DUI in 2019 and was from another state. Not to mention, I knew nothing about Denver and surrounding areas. While back home, I received consultation from a few lawyers but Mr. Huttner stood out the most. I wasn't sure why at the time but I am glad I made that decision. Mr. Huttner was very knowledgeable and respectful. He always made sure he overcommunicated times and dates when it came to court dates/hearings etc. He was open and honest to any questions I had throughout this 2 1/2 year process. He advised going to trial would be best if I did not want to take a plea deal. I was quite certain we had a great chance and ultimately decided to go to trial. Mr. Huttner took every step to make sure that we were in a great position to win this case. Going into this situation and dealing with the uncertainty was extremely stressful but I kept believing that Mr. Huttner had this under control. Eventually, We went to trail and after 903 days I was found not guilty. I cant say enough about this man but he is one of the best I've come across. I highly recommend Mr. Huttner.
Mr. Huttner Thank you again for being transparent and working with me through this tough time. You understood the importance of my family and with that knew we were not going to go away disappointed. Thank You I greatly appreciate it!!

I’ve been working with Richard since August of 2016 (Case took 4+ years). I was stopped for a urinating in public, but the charges quickly changed to DUI after they saw my priors. By the end of the encounter, I was facing indecent exposure (Urinating in public), DUI, resisting arrest, and obstruction of a peace officer.
Richard took on my case and immediately got a small win at the DMV. The hearing officer at the DMV ruled that I should have never been pulled over as the officer had no description of the individual he “thought” he observed urinating. This officer could not tell if the person was black, white, or other, and couldn’t even decipher man of woman. Needless to say I was awarded my license back that day.
My case is a very long and drawn out story. We lost at trial due to an error made by the court in which Richard advised that I could Appeal. I was facing 11 months in jail, court fees, probation, alcohol classes, and the loss of my license. I appealed to the district court (won); the people (DA) appealed to the Supreme Court (lost). My conviction was set aside and I was given the opportunity to have a new trial.
The former DA for the 18th district was not a fan of my case and would not just settle with us so we presented the case to the new 18th district DA once he was sworn in. Richard again went to bat for me and was able to get all charges dismissed except for obstruction. I pled guilty to obstruction; no jail, no probation, just a $50 fine. What a difference having a fresh set of unbiased eyes can do for your case.
Thank you Richard for seeing this through to the end, and having the expertise to know my best options available.

Due to bad judgement on my part I have required legal services on two occasions having to do with DUIs over the past 15 years. Once in 2004 and once recently in 2017/2018. In both cases - and specifically in the most recent case - Richard Huttner was not only extremely responsive but offered stellar guidance, coaching and overall representation for all aspects of the case.
This includes but is not limited to discussion/guidance immediately after the incident, scheduling, preparation and representation for the initial court appearance, Pre-Trial conference, plea discussions with the DA(s) and ultimately sentencing.
In addition, Richard flawlessly assisted with getting necessary travel approved during the Pre-Trial period. Richard instantaneously responded to any/all questions I had with straightforward and fact-based responses that I could count on.
Richard is easy to talk to, does not judge or make you feel like a horrible person BUT does clearly articulate the gravity of the situation and best/worst-case options and potential outcomes.
I HIGHLY recommend Richard should you or a loved one/close friend be in a situation where legal representation is necessary.

Richard, was very efficient and detail oriented, professional and extremely thorough in his preparation, and did a great job of keeping my international students well informed. He did a outstanding job representing them. Richard is an excellent attorney. He is very intelligent, has a keen legal ability to see the real issues, and does not get mired in the tangential. I know him for over 16 years.

I have never wrote a review in my life. I felt compelled to do so because of the service that I just received. The consultation was free and thorough. Through the initial consultation we learned that we did not need an attorney and Richard gave us free advice as to the legal how to handle the situation related to our son.
Thank You Richard you are a Blessing.

Mr. Huttner was tremendous in his assistance to my daughter following her auto accident. Just prior to her starting freshman year in college, she had an auto accident. She was charged with a misdemeanor, which she did not need on her record just starting out in college. He was able to have this removed, but better yet she had to do double the community service that was originally proposed. This was a much more legitimate punishment for her since she had to get it done during her first semester. As our lawyer, he was understanding with her most of the time, but firm with her when necessary. As a result, she learned more and was more appreciative of the system. I cannot thank him enough for helping her, and in return she learned a valuable lesson.

I never was charged with anything in my life before. I met with many lawyers before choosing Richard and Thank God I did. Richard explained the whole process and cared about me and made me feel better about it. Richard gave me advice in what to do before we met with the DA all I can say is make sure you listen. After meeting with the DA for the second time Richard got my case dismissed.

Mr. Huttner provided excellent service and was always prompt to respond to emails and phone calls. He is very knowledgeable and communicated with us through every phase of the case, and used his professional negotiation skills resulting in reduced charges acceptable to all parties. He is very personable, easy to work with and provided reassurance and hope during a most difficult time. We would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone.

I was arrested, charged with 1st degree assault in Denver and facing 10 to 32 years in prison. I didn't have any good witnesses of the incident and i did alot of things wrong after it happened. This was a case of self defense but without good witness testimony it looked bad for me. I was lucky enough however to find Mr Richard B. Huttner. He listened to me intently and never sugar coated anything. His fees were very reasonable and presented to me before he started working on my case. There were no suprise charges later. Richard was able to prolong my trial so i could attempt to prepare for incarceration. He truly cared about my situation and continuously worked very hard to get me a better plea. Richard never pushed me into a decision and was very respectful. I eventually accepted a plea of felony menacing and i believe because of his presentation at sentencing, i was allowed to walk out of the courtroom with a suspended sentence and probation. Mr Huttner gave me and my family a second chance and i cannot express enough thanks to him for his amazing service. I highly recommend him to anyone in need of a criminal attorney!

All I can say about Mr. Richard Huttner is that he not just saved my life, but he saved the lives of my little ones too. It does not matter what kind of criminal charges you are facing it, innocent or guilty, hiring a lawyer to fight for you is the very first foundational block to victory. The amazing job that Richard did for me altered the outcome of my life and ultimately my future and my children's future. Richard explained the process to me, gave me candid advice, he was prepared, and provided me with very great personal service. We had to go to trial and Richard's skills and career experience blew me away. I was found innocent/not guilty of all main charges. He owned the stage! Thank you, Richard. It has been a long journey, but we made it.
