HE REALLY IS THAT GOOD

Richard Lawson is a successful DUI attorney that got the DUI charges in my case reduced to Reckless Driving. I found Mr. Lawson to be compassionate and always available to answer any questions I had regarding the legal process. His hard work and determination to help me in a time of crisis went be...yond his obligation to fulfill his responsibilities as my legal counsel. I was very impressed with Mr. Lawson's team of "experts" acting on my behalf. Equally impressive is Richard's associate, Kristen who literally "dropped" what she was working on to come and meet with me during a time I needed reassurance. I definitely believe that Mr. Lawson's experience working as a prosecutor in the DA's office gives him an advantage and an edge other attorneys do not have to negotiate a positive outcome for his clients. Richard Lawson has more reviews than any other DUI attorney by a significant number and in review after review, he was successful in getting the charges reduced or dropped. He is a hard working lawyer, available 24/7, and I will always be grateful for his successful handling of my case. This is a good man, he is smart, he cares, and he will fight for you.

Hire Richard if you need help !! I'm glad I did.

Richard supported me for 2 cases. One was a DUI in which I was informed of a variety of options based on my case. We chose the best ultimate outcome and Richard helped me get the best deal. The second case was more serious and was related to a marijuana posession case with additional charges. This wa...s very worrisome to me based on the potentially very serious penalties. He listened to my side of the story and helped to fashion the right approach. In the end, Richard managed to negotiate a much reduced charge with minimal penalties which enabled me to keep my job and avoid all the serious consequences. I recommend Richard very highly and would call him again if I needed legal representation.

Good starting point.

In 2011, I needed help with an accused 2nd DUI/move over/speeding case in Franklin County. I called Mr. Lawson and after discussing my case and concerns, he suggested I speak with Kevin Fisher. Mr. Lawson was easy to talk with and his knowledge set my frustrations at ease . Over the next 2 years Mr.... Fisher has handled my case with a high level persistence that I needed. Mr. Fisher was able to get my case reduced to reckless driving plus a speed reduction. More importantly, I was able to avoid more jail time. I can't thank them both enough.

The Dedicated Lawyer

When I was charged with DUI and Drug possession I knew I was in jeopardy of losing everything I valued in life. My job, family and life was on the lines of destruction. Mr. Lawson came to my aid. He gave me his personal cell number. He returned every voice mail, text message and answered the phone... during my case. His skillful lawyer tactics got me results that even I did not think possible. He believes in his clients even when dead to the wrong. He will work for you and he is genuine. I felt like my best friend was in my corner. He was able to get my DUI dismissed and reduced to reckless driving AND he also got my drug possession charge totally dropped!! Not to mention during this process I never lost my license and nor did I not have to serve any jail time even with a past criminal record. There is no doubt that Mr. Lawson will fight for you, even when the odds are against you. He communicated his every move to me and was very responsive, trustworthy and knowledgeable. The outcome of my case has given me a second chance. It has given my family a second chance. He has preserved everything that I value including my freedom. He has truly been the turning point in my life! Truly! Mr. Lawson thank you so much. May God continue to bless you and your family as you are definitely a blessing to a lot of lives. Your hard work and dedication will never be forgotten.

Highly recommend to anyone in this predicament

I recommend Mr. Lawson to anyone faced with a DUI. He is knowledgeable and kind. I was extremely concerned by this terrible situation I put myself in. Richard was understanding and he relieved my worries. Every phone call/email was returned quickly. Every question was answered. Having him stand ...beside me in court was so reassuring. I am so grateful to have found Richard!
