BEST LAWYER AND EXCELLENT RESULTS

I travel extensively with my company and while being out of town, I was stopped for Failure to Maintain Lane and after failing the field sobriety tests, I was arrested for DUI and taken to jail. I was charged with Driving Under the Influence > .08, DUI Alcohol Less Safe and Failure to Maintain Lane. ...I blew a .175 which is almost double the legal limit. Besides being out of town and not knowing anyone, I did not want anyone to find out about my incident. I was fortunate to see the reviews for Mr. Lawson and sent him a message late on Friday night. He responded early on Saturday morning and based on our conversation, I hired him. He told me to calm down and not be so stressed over the arrest and to let him look into everything. Before I ever went to arraignment or court, I followed all of his recommendations with attending DUI School, Drug & Alcohol Counseling(recommended AA meetings and MADD Impact Panel) and 40 Hours of Community Service. After I had completed my 40 hours of Community Service and sent him the copies, he called me on a Sunday afternoon and suggested that I complete another 40 hours of community Service as it would look better. I am thinking to myself, does this man ever take time off? He was always quick to respond to calls and texts. Three days before going to court he called me and when I was questioning him about a reduction or dismissal of the charges, he said that I didn't have a very good case so he didn't know how it would turn out. We went to Court and he was able to get two charges dropped and was able to get the DUI Alcohol Less Safe reduced to Reckless Driving. I could not believe he could do all of that but he knows exactly what to do. If you need a GREAT attorney to help you with your case, I highly recommend Mr. Lawson. He worked a miracle in my case and I could not be happier.

Great Lawyer for DUI

Mr. Richard has reduced my first DUI offense to reckless driving. I’m satisfied with the outcome because it is helping me with my employment and immigration. I would recommend him to anyone who needs an attorney to deal with the DUI charge.Thanks for your help Richard.

Wouldn’t go with anybody else

Richard is an excellent lawyer. He is very professional and accessible via all modes of communication. He was successful in reducing my DUI to a reckless driving even with a high BAC. I was pleasantly surprised at what he was able to do. He knows many prosecutors and judges in the area which helps a ...ton. He is worth every penny. Make sure to follow all of his suggestions closely to give yourself the best chance.

Stop Looking

If you are reading this review then you probably were charged with a DUI like I was. Now listen to me, stop sweating it, you can't change what happened but you can change the outcome. Call Mr. Lawson now. After I was arrested I spent countless hours stressing over which attorney to hire, after talkin...g with several I decided to go with Mr Lawson. Thank God I did. I was charge with a DUI and 2- child endangerments and an open container to go along with everything else. (I know bad dad!) I did exactly as informed by Mr. Lawson and he got everything dropped expect the DUI. No additional jail time, did not loose my driving license. So if you got a DUI anywhere in GA. stop sweating it and call him today, you will be glad you did as I was.

Great DUI lawyer

I had a DUI many years ago in Atlanta and Richard helped me to reduce it to a reckless driving charge. Moreover, when I recently had to prove that I have completed the requirements, Richard provided speedy and professional response. Highly recommend Richard!
