Reduced to reckless

Richard was extremely professional and handled my case spectacularly. He was able to reduce my third dui to a reckless driving in a seemingly impossible situation. I highly recommend Richard Lawson if you're in need of a lawyer

Highly Recommend

Richard Lawson was highly recommended to me by an attorney in my family. Through his diligent work he was able to reduce my DUI and speeding violation to reckless driving. Thanks to his negotiations I avoided jail time and a license suspension.

Worth Every Penny!

Being from a small town in NW Georgia who’d never before been in trouble with the law, I was scared (and mortified) when I was pulled over and arrested for DUI after a “girls night out” in Atlanta. After I got out of jail the next day, I called our family lawyer to see if he could help me, but he fel...t I could better be represented by an Atlanta DUI attorney. After reading Mr. Lawson’s reviews and checking out his informative website, I decided to give him a call. I was nervous about calling because I already felt like trash, but he was very kind and helpful and answered every single question I could think of (and that was a LOT of questions). He assured me he would represent me to the best of his ability, and I decided to put my trust in him. He gave me his personal cell phone number and told me to call him anytime I had questions. He also worked around my crazy work schedule to get my case in order. Ultimately, my charge was reduced to reckless driving and I didn’t get any jail time. What a relief! While I hope I never need his services again, I’d hire Mr. Lawson in a heartbeat. He’s worth every single penny!

My Go-To Referral!

A friend of mine was arrested a few weeks ago for the first time. I called around trying to help her find an experienced attorney. I found Mr. Lawson's number from Google and called his firm. He explained what was going on with her charges, and how he would be able to help her. He let me know every o...ption he could give her, and I passed along that information. He was by far the most helpful and honest attorney that I spoke with regarding her case. I will be referring him to any friends or family that need help with a criminal charge or an arrest!

Help is a phone call away

Richard Lawson was a huge help in my case. He has a lot of experience and will go out of his way to help you. In my case specifically, he went out of his way to negotiate with the prosecutor, and he also put in a good word to the judge regarding my progress. This allowed me to get my charges reduced,... and Attorney Lawson prevented me from getting further consequences. Richard really is an excellent lawyer, and a great guy overall!
