Richard L. Tegtmeier

Richard, or Teg as he is known, became a lawyer because he wanted to make a difference. Today, he is an experienced and accomplished trial lawyer who is highly renowned and respected throughout the country.

He specializes in complex white collar and general criminal defense and has tried more than 200 cases before juries. Teg is broadly recognized for his unique ability to navigate the courtroom and the complex process of a jury trial — he has the confidence required to think and act outside the box to produce the type of results that can only come from decades of experience.

He has the highest peer ratings across all categories of criminal defense and is particularly honored that fellow lawyers consistently vote that they would choose him to defend a family member or loved one.

In a legal system that makes it relatively easy to bring charges against someone, Teg provides vigorous defense for charges against individuals and businesses. His ability to make a trusted connection with his clients, judges, juries, and prosecutors has established him as a difference-maker for decades.

Teg is also a pioneer in the use of legal video, producing remarkable results with pre-indictment, pre-plea, mediation, settlement, and sentencing videos. For more information, click here.
