Richard Scott Lawson

While researching lawyers in Georgia for my particular case I was very specific in who I wanted to represent me. After reviewing dozens of firms, I found the Law Offices of Richard S. Lawson. Based on the incredible reviews and years experience he had on both sides (prosecuting attorney and now defense attorney) I determined he was the one I would hire. I called on a Sunday evening and was expecting to get a VM but to my surprise he answered the phone. We spoke about my case and the options I would have, he. was very understanding and informative regarding the legal process that I would encounter. Steps provided by Richard were straight and forthright to a speedy and very favorable outcome in my case. The day of the court hearing, Richard was able to provide me with an outcome that far exceeded my expectations! This man is a miracle worker and I would highly recommend him to anyone! Thank you Mr. Lawson!

I can't speak highly enough of Richard and his whole team. Everyone in his office has treated us with respect and empathy in every conversation. They have been helpful and knowledgeable every step of the way. You cannot go wrong when hiring Richard and/or Kimberly. They truly know what they are doing but they also care and that's what sets them apart from many other lawyers.

I had a difficult problem. Discussed details with Richard and he agreed to take my case. That was the start of our journey. He kept me appraised of the situation and finally we had the anticipated outcome. I would highly recommend Richard.

Mr. Lawson represented me in a DUI case in Bartow that was accompanied with a hit and run, failure to maintain lane and 5 lifetime DUIs. He had my hit and run reduced to a failure to report, and my DUI punishment was treated like a 1st offence and 1st in lifetime with all the minimum punishments. He was attentive and easy to talk to. His staff is amazing, and his courtroom skills are impressive. He is always poised and comfortable dealing with you, the DAs, and the Judges. You can’t go wrong with hiring Mr. Lawson and his team.

Words cannot express how pleased I am with the services Richard has provided. My case was a difficult one to say the least, with little hope of a positive outcome. My case made it feel as if my future was going to be ruined. I felt a constant, gut-wrenching feeling that my previously bright future was going to be destroyed by the legal situation I was in. RICHARD CHANGED THAT. He was available 24/7 and answered any questions I had. He gave me the comfort of knowing I hired the best and he would work dilligently to achieve the best outcome and nothing less. He exceeded expectations and achieved an excellent outcome for my family and I. He was also a calming presence in the courtroom, given his extensive experience, He gave me my life and future back. If you need an excellent attorney who will stop at nothing to achieve the best possible outcome no matter how difficult your case seems, don't look any further. Richard will get you the best possible outcome.

I contacted Mr. Lawson concerning a matter involving a juvenile. My call was returned immediately and I was given an opportunity to explain the circumstances involved. Even tho my case did not fall under his area of expertise and we had to move in another direction I will absolutely call this practice in the event his services are needed.

Mr. Lawson did an excellent job representing our son with the best possible outcome.

I had the unfortunate experience of being arrested for DUI in January 2020. Having never been arrested before I was unsure of who to turn and trust. Luckily, Richard Lawson was my first and only call to a DUI attorney. From the beginning he was honest about what he could do for me and what I could expect through this legal journey. Covid did cause some delays in the case being processed through the courts but Mr. Lawson kept me informed the whole time and was available when my spirits were down. Mr. Lawson was able to get my charges reduced and I walked away with my driver's license and no jail time. Thank you Mr. Lawson for helping me through this ordeal. I highly recommend Richard Lawson if you should, unfortunately like me, find yourself in legal trouble.

Richard has done so much to help me…much more than what I expected. I’m so glad that I called him when I needed an attorney. Recommended without reservation!

Richard represented me twice for dui charges two years a part. He saved me from jail time in both instances. Not only was he professional, reachable, and knowledgeable, but he was compassionate and caring. I was scared to death and so ashamed. Richard talked with me and calmed me down, felt like he was a dear uncle. He was always there for me for anything throughout it all. Absolutely the best decision I could have made in hiring him.

Richard and his team exceeded my expectations in their service and work product. They made themselves available quickly when I had questions and achieved a fair and positive outcome.

Reached out to Mr. Lawson after receiving second DUI charges, failure to maintain, and obstruction in Buford, GA. Having just dealt with this trouble, I came in with real concerns. Richard and his associate at the time (Jaime!) informed me of best next steps preparing for court. However, COVID came along and pushed this process two years along. After the extent of time, and as the request to appear came in, I found myself certain that any defense I might've mustered was wasted by over a year of inaction. I'm very relieved to have known that by hiring Mr. Lawson so long ago, I would have an advocate who was still on my side. From the beginning he made me aware that I could reach out directly and speak, and he was! Trusting Mr. Lawson's advice, and accepting the wide breadth of knowledge in this particularly stressful case that he was very well-informed on, he took my faith and came back to me with our first face-to-face unmasked handshake and relayed the news that the case was dropped!!! Without a doubt, the fact that after all this time that had passed, I had been losing hope for a positive outcome. My first and (HOPEFULLY, no disrespect!) last handshake with Mr. Lawson was also his demonstration and proof that faith in his work is completely grounded. This hiring decision led to the greatest outcome that I hadn't even entertained! The course of my life is diverted not just because of Mr. Lawson's diligence and support, but also because of the myriad negative punitive measures that would have prevented me from improving my prospects and outlook on my future. My family and I are eternally grateful for this outcome and equally grateful that the trust in Mr. Lawson was well-founded and resulted in a happy ending. Highly recommend! 10/10

I recently hired Mr Lawson and his firm to represent me and could not be more satisfied with my decision. I also couldn’t be more grateful for what Mr. Lawson did while being my legal council . I was facing four charges , one of which was a drug related felony so needless to say, it was very serious . I hired Mr Lawson less than one month before my court date so he didn’t have very much time to build his defense for me and I was very concerned. All my fears and concerns turned into joy and gratitude when I was found not guilty on all for charges after just a day and a half of trial. Simply put, if you find yourself in trouble and needing an experienced criminal defense attorney, Lawson and Berry should be your first and only phone call. Don’t waste your time looking at any other firm and go with the best. Lawson and Berry, I can’t thank you enough for what you did for me

I contacted Mr. Lawson after my arrest for DUI. From our first conversation to our last, Mr. Lawson was up front, professional, and honest throughout every interaction. He and his staff were incredibly proactive in their dealings with me and the court system. Covid stretched out the process almost three years, but Mr. Lawson’s actions meant that impacts to my daily life were kept to a minimum until the resolution of the case which was overwhelmingly positive. I would advise any potential client of Mr. Lawson to hire him and follow his advice to the letter when going through this terrifying process.

Richard went above and beyond in my case. His communication was fantastic and he was very thorough. He had my charges reduced a few days before court, which seemed like an impossibility prior.
