Choosing to be represented by Mr. Lawson was the best choice I made

I was pulled over at around 2 AM last October after having a few too many drinks at a friend's house and making the stupid decision to drive home. The officer asked me to step out and began asking me to perform sobriety tests - I was not aware of Georgia's implied consent law and decided to remain... silent. I was arrested and refused any chemical testing. As a result, I was facing a DUI less safe, a couple more citations, and a one year suspension on my license. It was the most stressful thing I've been through. I called Mr. Lawson's firm the next day and hired him. This was the best decision I ever made. My appeal to not suspend my license was made in a timely manner. My DUI was reduced to reckless driving. One of the citations was even dropped. He represented me in front of the DDS for the administrative hearing regarding my license and the decision to suspend my license was reversed. On top of all this: NO PROBATION. Whenever I had questions or sent emails I got a response from Mr. Lawson or his helpful associates usually within minutes. They were always helpful, informative, and available. Fast forward a few months: I have my license, only a few point on it from the reckless driving, and I've paid my fines. I am not in jail. I am no longer stressed. The case is closed. Words cannot express how thankful I am for the professionalism provided by Mr. Lawson's firm and the outcome of my case. He literally helped get my life back on track.

"Less than DUI" (yes, that's a real charge)

Arrested for "less than DUI", I didn't know of a lawyer in Cobb County, much less one who specialized in DUI. So I used Google and started calling around. I was highly skeptical. Most law firms have answering machines, gatekeepers, secretaries. But at this firm, a knowledgeable person answered th...e phone - even though it was after hours. They walked me through the process, gave me guidance, and immediately put me in direct contact with the lawyer. Rather than just pleading out the case like most lawyers would do, Richard started gathering all the evidence. Meanwhile, he gave me specific instructions to follow so that I’d be fully and properly prepared for my court date… He told me to take certain classes, steps, tests, etc. It was a huge pain the butt, but his guidance meant we’d both be ready for whatever might happen. In the end, Richard informed me of all my risks and options, and then he negotiated for what I believe was the best outcome. I am 100% satisfied with his services.

Mr. Lawson is so great. I highly recommend him. I was out of state and got three tickets dui, driving out of lane and speeding ticket 106 in a 70 mile zone. He got it reduce to only reckless driving. Also being out of state and the covid going on I could of drove many times to court because it got de...layed but he made sure to find out if it was delayed so I would not waste 5 hours of driving. Then when I finally have my court day he arrange for it to be on zoom which was great. He also answers all my questions right away. And explain anything that I didn't understand. He went well beyond my expectation and HIGHLY recommend

PHENOMENAL EXPERIENCE

There’s not a language or enough words to describe how Richard saved my life, or how thankful I am that I found and hired him... I’ve never met a lawyer that is as attentive as Richard. He answered all my calls, texts and emails not just within the same day, but PROMPTLY! I was charged with a secon...d DWI drugs less safe within a year of the first one...I was facing a lot of jail time, 240 hours community service, 24 months probation, etc.. Richard not only got me off with ZERO jail time, but my sentence also ceases after 12 months as long as I follow conditions. He saved my life, literally. There is no better DUI attorney. I trusted him with my life, and he showed up and showed out! You can stop searching, you just found the best DUI lawyer there is.

There is not enough good to say about the service that Richard and his team provided. Very professional, thorough and always immediately responsive. My case was extremely difficult, due to my own decisions. Richard was understanding but direct, no unreal expectations given and not a lot of unnecessar...y talk. Only results. I followed Richard's recommendations in the days prior to court, went to court then went home with unexpected results, results that left me speechless and appreciative of a new opportunity for a new start. Highly, highly recommended to hire Richard.
