Richard Lawson is simply the best

Words cannot describe how satisfied I was with Richard Lawson representing me in my DUI case. I am so glad I picked up the phone and called him that Saturday after my arrest. He promptly returned my call and put me at ease. I was facing real dire consequences for my actions that night and Richard got... me the best outcome possible. My charge was reduced to reckless driving,no jail time and I managed to keep my license. Truly remarkable outcome for me and my family. I had already received a DUI charge over 20 years ago so I was extremely worried about the outcome that I was facing. Without Richard's knowledge of the law, vast experience in dui cases and relationships in the courtroom this all would have been almost next to impossible. Also, Sarah his assistant was a pleasure to work with. She was always available answer questions and keep me updated on my case. Richard Lawson is simply the best. Thanks again

Excellent is an understatement

Experiencing the process of a dui is not only eye opening, but also life changing. From the consultation to the courtroom Mr. Lawson and his team handled themselves in a remarkably professional manner with one goal, providing results to keep your life moving forward. Having a someone on your side w...ho presents themselves in such a method is comforting during a time of confusion. With his extensive knowledge of the court system and years dedicated to the practice he was able to attain the best possible outcome for the legal situation that I was involved in. I couldn't be more amazed at what happened during court and how quickly everything was settled in my favor. These words can only begin to express the gratitude and appreciation I have for Mr. Lawson. Due to his intelligent actions and the expeditious steps taken throughout the legal process i am able to continue chasing the opportunities that I want in life. Without his assistance I do not believe that is the direction that I would be able to drive towards.

Professional & exemplary representation

Mr. Lawson represented me in a case back in 2010. Through his vast knowledge & experience, he was able to assist me in a way that I could not have done by myself. I recently contacted Mr. Lawson with questions about the case (which he still remembered), & I was, yet again, fully satisfied with the se...rvice he was able to provide. I would highly recommend Mr. Lawson to anyone who needs representation in court.

Phenomenal Attorney! Second to None!

The single greatest think you can do to have a favorable outcome in your DUI case is to hire Attorney Richard Scott Lawson. His experience is second to none, he knows the courts, the judges and the laws better than anyone. You cannot have better representation, he is reliable, honest, trustworthy, an...d worth EVERY penny of his fee. If you happen to get yourself in a situation where you have a DUI charge, do yourself a favor and hire Attorney Richard Scott Lawson. My story: I selected Attorney Richard Scott Lawson as my attorney after getting charged with a DUI in Acworth, GA. I was in Georgia for work on travel from my job in Connecticut for 2 years, when I received the DUI charge, my first charge of any kind whatsoever. Attorney Lawson knew the laws, the courts and the judges, and had the case transferred multiple times till he was able to get it transferred to state court where he felt we had a chance at a favorable outcome. Before going to court, Attorney Lawson had an extensive investigation of my arrest conducted by an ex-police officer to discover what evidence he could use in court to have the charges reduced. We took the case to state court about a year and a half from the original date of the charge, and I flew in to Atlanta for the motions when Attorney Lawson told me it was time. It was an honor and a privileged to watch Attorney Lawson make motions in court. Attorney Lawson presented the facts of the case that his investigation revealed, including the fact that the video the officer took was not viable, because he had the camera directed at the interior of the car, not outside where the sobriety test was conducted. The prosecutor did a 180 degree turn after hearing Attorney Lawson speak, and both the judge and the prosecutor agreed that Attorney Lawson was 100 percent right!!!! Attorney Lawson had the charges reduced to reckless driving, and I left the situation with my record, my dignity, and the knowledge that I had the best attorney there is for a DUI on my side!!! If you happen to get yourself in a situation where you have a DUI charge, do yourself a favor and hire Attorney Richard Scott Lawson. I am extremely glad I did!!!! Thank you Attorney Richard Scott Lawson!!!!
