Very efficient and responsive

I hired Mr. Lawson for my DUI, his office was on top of everything from the very first minute. Mr. Lawson asked me what I wanted TK outcome to be and set reasonable expectations, which I researched to be very accurate and best case scenarios. He told me what things to do prior to the court and I fo...llowed the instructions. The court was a breeze. My DUI was dropped down to a wreck less driving and speeding was dropped to no points speeding violation. I highly recommend Richard Lawson as your DUI attorney if you find yourself in this situation.

Cant recomond Richard enough!!!!

I hired Richard after reading all these reviews. Unfortunately, i got a DUI with a very high BAC, and an accident with injury. I truly believe with any other lawyer, i would have at the very least lost my DL and most likely serve jail time. With Richard's expertise, and knowledge of the different... city's court systems, I am thrilled to say that it was reduce to reckless driving with 1 year probation. To say i think its a miracle, is an understatement. He doesn't disappear anytime during the process, easy to get a hold of and makes you feel comfortable going into court. If you are in trouble, DO NOT HESITATE to call Richard

Magic man.

I got a DUI and Richard made magic happen and got the charge lowered to wreckless even with a high score. Richard is kind, available 24/7 (which is insane), knows just about everyone, and has shown he genuinely cares about doing his best for you. Hire him.

Tough situation resolved

I am from out of town, but work in Atlanta often. I received a DUI charge late at night, my second(First reduced to wreckless driving many years ago). I refused to do the breathalizer test but for some reason, agreed to the field test and did not do well. I was charged with a DUI. The next day ...I was reviewing attorneys and came across Richard. His reviews were outstanding and he had claimed to have gotten people a reduction with a second DUI charge. I got in touch with Richard and he was immediately available. We put a plan together and he worked thru all the barriers. He was very honest with me every step of the way, which was not always good. He tells it like it he sees it. I delayed the process for almost a year, but we were finally gonna have to face the music, but I got cold feet and asked to change the venue to Fulton while in the hearing. We were going to plead out and get the DUI with very favorable comm. service, no jail time and all the other things as my case was a no win. So we went to Fulton. I again had to delay the hearings for various reasons. When the hearing finally came, Richard worked like magic. I was prepared to go with the DUI, but he somehow got them to agree to a wreckless driving charge. I can't imagine another attorney doing a better job with this. He has wonderful qualities and was very patient answering my many questions and thoughts. Sorry to be so wordy, but he is worth it. Great job Richard!
