Richard Lawson... Best Attorney EVER!!!

I was pulled over for a DUI in Fannin County with my three children in the car. I was unaware that each child under the age of 14 counted as an additional DUI until after I was arrested. I was a first-time offender and had no idea what the process was, however I knew I needed a good attorney. As I... began my search I was overwhelmed. I finally arrived at AVVO and found Richard Lawson’s reviews to be impressive. I called his office and I can honestly say that was the best decision I have ever made. After making the initial call they returned my call promptly. They listened to the details of my case and answered every question I had openly and honestly. He and associate Sarah walked me though the process with care and concern. They made sure I understood what had to be done and kept me informed as to how my case was progressing. My court date finally arrived, and I could not be happier with the results of my case. Richard was able to have the two child endangerment charges dismissed which kept me from being deemed as a habitual violator and losing my driving privileges from 5 years. I am not sure what your case looks like, but I can honestly say I thought my life would never be the same after this DUI. I have learned many valuable lessons throughout this journey and thanks to Richard my life has stayed the same. I can’t thank Richard and Sarah enough for all their efforts and hard work they put into my case. Chad

DUI to Reckless

I hired Richard after getting a DUI while working in Georgia. Being from out of state there was a lot of personal trauma for appearing in court and serving jail time. Searching for a lawyer, Richard's name came up at the top of the list for who to hire. Richard was able to work my case without my ha...ving to return, plea in absentia, and was also able to reduce my DUI to Reckless. Nobody wants to have to deal with this mess on their own, I highly recommend Richard Lawson for your attorney needs.

Pleased Parent

Richard went above and beyond what he needed to do. My son had trouble reaching a probation officer so Richard rearranged his schedule and went directly to the office. Once there he removed the problem which could have potentially meant jail time for my son. I would highly recommend Richard because ...of his caring attitude and knowledge base.

Amazing Five Star Lawyer

Richard is an AMAZING lawyer. He and Sarah were always available to answer my questions and returned my calls and text messages at all times of the day. I highly recommend Richard and he was able to reduce the charges in my case and secure a favorable verdict . He has a tried and trusted plan and all... you have to do is follow the plan and then let him work his magic. He is the BEST in his field and is highly respected among his peers in the Law Community.

Was able to expedite services

Within 72 hours I retained Mr Lawson and his assistant attorney. They expediated various tasks to include closure of my case within one month. First was the extension of my license. Next they advised me on completing certain objectives to accomplish a better outcome regarding my legal matter. Next, I... received the incident report. And in a month I was standing before a judge and had my sentence reduced. If it wasn't for Mr Lawson, I would be facing harder punishment in the military. Also, the push helped me go overseas with my troopers.
