After driving through a roadblock which was poorly marked and indistinguishable as such, I was stopped and arrested for DUI/Refusal. This would be my second in five years and from everything that I read I would be facing serious consequences that would destroy my life as well as those of my childre...n who are dependent upon me driving them everywhere they need to be. Unsure of where to turn and who to call I turned to the Internet and was bombarded by the names of DUI lawyers. After reading reviews on the Avvo website it was clear to me that Mr Lawson and his team of excellent attorneys was by far the best choice for my case. After calling the office Mr Lawson called me back quickly and listened intently while I explained my situation. He took his time with me asking questions and analyzing my case. He treated me with enormous patience and respect. I'm sure he could hear the fear in my voice and took care to be honest with me about the severity of my predicament while reassuring me that he and his staff would work hard to get me the best possible outcome for my case. He matched me with one of the other amazingly brilliant attorneys on his team who was just as patient, kind and respectful as Mr Lawson himself. My attorney and the staff worked extremely hard on my case keeping me in touch the entire time. They managed to accomplish the seemingly impossible. My DUI was DISMISSED!!!! It was a miracle!!!! I am overjoyed at the positive outcome of my case and I would definitely recommend Mr Lawson and his brilliant team of attorneys and excellent staff to anyone facing a criminal charge. They are all extremely knowledgeable and incredible! I can't thank them enough for all that they did for me! A.K.

Fisrt off, my situation - arrested for DUI (.29!!) and possesion of a small amount of marijuana, failure to maintain lane etc. I did an internet search first thing once I was released from my initial pickup. Mr Lawson's practice showed the highest rankings for the offense as well as a solid histo...ry in the area of my infractions. The initial call was courteous and enlightening with the team getting on the immediate concerns of preserving my license. Prior to the motion hearing Mr Lawson worked diligently with the prosecution to refine the charges into a best case scenario for me, we discussed the terms and conditions and moved forward to the hearing - he answered all my legal questions in solid and informative terms that were digestible even by a non lawyer. The day of the hearing, Mr Lawson surprised me... He was hands down the most professional and well prepared lawyer in a room of 30 or so lawyers, he had three cases that day and each were obviously well represented. I can't stress enough how professional/prepared he came across compared to many others in the court room. During my specific motion call, Mr Lawson could tell I was getting very anxious (I have acute social anxiety at times of high stress) and helped me be reassuring me and generally went out of his way to make sure I knew it was going to be ok, things were going well etc (this one to me hits home - he didn't have to do this, he cared enough to add that extra bit!). End of the day I essentially got the best case scenario for my offenses with no additional jail time other than my initial pick up and with no loss of driving ability. This certainly exceeded my expectations in the matter and I'd heartily recommend him to anyone in a similar situation.

Mr. Lawson is outstanding in his expertise, knowledge, responsiveness, and supportiveness. He called me back promptly on each of the several instances that I contacted him with questions. He always provided very knowledgeable clear responses to my questions. These clear answers helped reduce my ...confusion, which then helped reduce my level of stress . He found subject matter experts whose assistance helped greatly in the outcome of my case. He skillfully negotiated with the prosecuting attorney in a way that overcame possible political factors. He was consistently very supportive to me as a person during a very challenging life situation. The outcome of my case would almost certainly have been much less positive without Mr. Lawson's help.

As a recently retired executive I was extremely concerned about a DUI arrest I had in Georgia. I found Richard Lawson via the internet and what a fortunate stroke of good luck. Mine was a complicated case that Richard handled with confidence and expertise. The charges were dropped to a reckless drivi...ng fine and I suffered no loss of driving privileges. I can not recommend Richard high enough. I my opinion it would be foolish to go anywhere else for representation.

I contacted Mr. Lawson after being arrested on a first offense DUI and failure to maintain lane charges. Richard quickly returned my call and explained the charges and eased my fears. Believe me, I was terrified of the consequences of my charges. Over the next few months I followed his expert advic...e and, if I had questions, I only needed to call his office and I had an answer right away. When my court date arrived Mr. Lawson had my DUI reduced to reckless driving and I am able to keep my license without restrictions! I have no doubt this positive outcome is the result of hiring the number one DUI attorney in GA!
