Highly recommend!

Getting arrested for a DUI can be a traumatic experience, especially if you have never had any previous dealings with law enforcement. After hiring Richard personally, I felt he and his paralegal were very attentive and professional; all of my questions were answered in a timely fashion. One thing th...at I found particularly reassuring was the email detailing the “Next Steps” that i should take. I completed all these steps promptly (DUI risk reduction course, community service, etc) so that when I first stepped into a courtroom I felt a little more comfortable with my situation. I was informed before appearing that the county I was arrested in was known for being tough on DUIs. I was not expecting my case to be resolved when I appeared for the calendar call, but Richard was able to negotiate my DUI down to a reckless driving charge that day! I walked out of the courthouse with only probation, a fine, and only a few hours of jail time left to serve, and I got to keep my license. I was fully expecting a DUI on my permanent record, especially because of the county’s notoriety with drunk driving arrests. Thanks to Richard, I was able to achieve the best possible result. I would 100% recommend Richard and his associates to anyone facing a DUI charge!

Can’t Go Wrong with Richard Lawson

I’m so happy I choose Mr Lawson to represent me. I was so scared and thought I was going to lose my job, but he talked me through it and eventually got my charges reduced! Miracle Worker!

Above and beyond

I have a nephew who was arrested for criminal trespass and felony drug possession. I (along with the rest of my family) had no idea what to do to help him or where to even start. I found the number for Mr. Lawson's firm on the internet after some brief research. I called on his behalf on a Saturday, ...and Mr. Lawson let me know all of his options. He went above and beyond than any other lawyer we spoke to - he was kind and very helpful. He let us know his plan and took great care of my nephew. I highly recommend.

Life Saver

Hired Mr. Lawson because my career was on the line. I was going to face severe consequences for a one time mistake. Richard calmed my nerves and told me the realistic possibilities - he then exceeded all expectations. We were in a small city court in the mountains and he got them to reduce it to a ci...ty code violation! I couldn't be happier and you will NOT regret hiring this attorney.

Consult

I was arrested Saturday night and called Mr. Lawson on Sunday. He took my call over the weekend. He was extremely knowledgeable and put my worries to rest. He saw my case all the way through to the end. I highly recommend him, Because he is an incredible attorney and was quick to answer all of my ...questions. Thank you so very much Mr. Lawson.
