Case Dismissed

Richard Lawson and his firm are outstanding. I called Richard on the weekend and was very impressed of how quickly he called me back. Richard explained everything to me and starting taking action immediately. As a person who had never been arrested, I was very fearful of losing my license and my job.... Richard explained just because you are arrested does not mean you are guilty. Am I glad I listened to his advice, my case was dismissed and all charges dropped. Thanks Richard for handling this stressful time in my life!

DUI arrest - Best Outcome

Best possible choice! I hired Richard Lawson after a DUI arrest in Fulton county based on his reputation and reviews on this site, it was the right decision. He guided my case through a complicated process and won a full dismissal. This dismissal would not have happened without his attention to deta...il and professional court demeanor. Also, we had a lot of communication and met in advance of each court appearance. He knew exactly what was important to me and then blew me away with this huge win. -Great Lawyer.

Worth the Wait

I was under the age of 21 when I was arrested for DUI. I hired Richard Lawson and he was able to move my case to state court where I would not have to appear in court until after I was 21. It took two years for my case to appear before the judge, but Richard Lawson was able to keep me out of jail, dr...iving without any restrictions and kept me off probation. This entire situation turned out way better than I ever could have imagined - all because of Mr. Lawson and his team. Sarah Illg, Law Clerk to Richard Lawson, was also very knowledgeable and thorough about any questions or concerns I had throughout the process.

Extremely Please, Highly Recommened

While visiting Georgia I received a DUI. I immediately started searching for a lawyer. I was fortunate enough to find Mr. Richard Lawson. I call him on a Sunday morning and was able to talk to him and discuss my case. He immediately set me up with one of his associates, Ms. Berry. She was excellent. ...They were both able to answer all of my questions and made me feel at ease every time we talked. My phones calls were always returned promptly even after hours. Mr. Lawson and Ms. Berry both represented me court on the day of my trail. They exceeded my expectations by far. They approached my case with extreme knowledge and understanding of every law. Mr. Lawson took my case to trial and was able to reach a not guilty verdict. I am extremely grateful for their expertise and professionalism. They have done wonders for me and my family. I would highly recommend Mr. Lawson and his team. This should be your first and last call if you ever find yourself in this situation. Thank you again for all that you have done for me and my family.

Worth Every Penny!!!! Undeniable Results!!!!

Richard was my initial point of consultation and it was clear that he is extremely fast, professional, knowledgeable and very cool. He did an excellent job in getting me in touch with his team and getting me the results I wished for. I was stopped for speeding 109 MPH in a 65 MPH zone and subsequen...tly arrested for DUI. I took the field sobriety tests and the state test and blew over the legal limit. I was taken to jail. I spoke to to Richard's team and the rest is history . . . A great result! These guys worked diligently on my case. They were able to get the DUI reduced to Reckless Driving and I was able to plea No Contest on the Speeding ticket which would have resulted in 6 points. I received very little conditions which Richards team had me complete ahead of time. I did not have to go on probation. Me and all my family/friends were shocked!!!! The team always always made time to speak with me about my case and stayed on top of me to complete all conditions for the court. Thank you Richard, Kevin, and the Team for your help!!!!
