Priceless representation

Words cannot describe the representation I had from Mr. Lawson. He is truly a professional in all aspects. He provided me the reassurance I needed during an incredibly stressful time and was available at all times when I needed him. He is extremely knowledgeable. He had my case reduced to reckles...s and I kept my license which saved my career. I cannot explain the gratitude I owe this man for his commitment he had during my case.

1st class representation!

I would highly recommend hiring Mr. Lawson if you are facing a charge that could seriously impact your life. I hired Mr. Lawson for a DUI (my 2nd) and possession of marijuana charge and could not have asked for better representation. Anytime I had a question, and I had many, Mr. Lawson or Sarah would... respond the same day with any and all information I needed or requested. Sarah is great and kept me informed of the whole process, step by step from the time I hired them until we went to court and even after! Mr. Lawson had a real presence in the courtroom that other defense lawyers were lacking, in my opinion and was able to negotiate a plea that was better than myself or my wife expected. Overall, what could have been a disaster simply turned out to be a valuable life lesson and I was able to move on with my life with little consequences. If you are considering hiring a defense attorney, look no further!! Mr. Lawson is not a discount attorney but you most definitely get what you pay for and then some. Not having to worry about the outcome when you go to court is priceless!!

Amazing Lawyer

Richard Scott Lawson is an absolutely fantastic lawyer. He is thorough, kind, professional, and knows exactly what he is doing. He was able to get my DUI charge reduced to reckless driving and was able to get my sentence significantly reduced. I am so grateful to him for all his help and hard work. W...ith Mr. Lawson, you are in very capable hands.

Compassionate, caring and professional.

Mr. Lawson's experience and expertise in his field made my DUI case much less stressful than I expected. He obtained plea bargains that allowed me to retain my license and lower some of the fines involved. I have never retained a lawyer who made you feel so at ease. I just phoned Mr. Lawson with ...a question, 4 months after my trail date and he returned my call within 5 minutes. I would recommend Mr. Lawson to anyone in need. His entire staff was courteous and professional, they have a way of making you feel as though you are their only client.

Deserves 10 Stars

Richard Lawson and Sarah Illg saved my dignity, license, and job. I was so ashamed to be arrested for DUI. They put me at ease. Let me know right away what to do to make amends and to hopefully get the lightest sentence. I ended up with a DUI. Jail time served from the night of the arrest. No ext...ra time!! The lowest conditions that Georgia would allow. I cant thank them enough! Also Sarah was with me all the way even going with me to the DMV to get my restricted drivers licence. Then months later coming off probation I couldn't get ahold of my probation officer to get clearance. I emailed Richard and he called me within minutes to give me the solution. That was a year after my conviction. When they say they will help every step of the way they mean it!!!
