Got the job done

I was arrested for DUI and leaving the scene under very unusual circumstances. I was charged with 5 violations, totaled my SUV and nearly killed myself. After relating the story, Richard’s words were “well, the worst is over”. As time went on, that turned out to be true. He postponed my cas...e for my personal convenience, and was able to get all except the DUI charge (including “Leaving the Scene”) dropped. Furthermore, he had jail time reduced to time served was also able to get Non-reporting (no monthly visits or fees) probation for a year; both a real blessing. He also got the 120 day license permit from DDS. His advice to take care of all requirements before the court date was extremely wise on his part. He was always available on the phone, and was able to accommodate my requests and answered my questions even though I reworded the same question a few different times in different ways. I think that I sometimes tried his patience but he never showed it. He knows the system and will do his best for you. He did for me!

DUI Charges Reduced

My son was arrested recently for DUI. Whereas he failed the sobriety test in the field (not admissible), a follow-up sobriety test (admissible) was never conducted. Mr. Lawson's keen legal eye and knowledge identified this discrepancy and lack of following proper procedure and used it to convince the... court to reduce the charge to reckless driving. His action saved my son's driver's license from suspension and having a DUI permanently on his record. We are very grateful for Mr.Lawson's attention to detail and legal expertise which singularly was the reason for a much more positive outcome compared to what it could have been. Thanks again, Mr. Lawson.

If you ever get a DUI, call Richard Larson!

A one time mistake could have meant a lifetime of trouble. After carefully explaining the complicated Georgia law and how my mistake could mean losing a long sought after CDL, Richard worked hard to get my penalties reduced! He stayed in frequent touch and strongly suggested the extra community servi...ce that helped lead to a reduced charge! I kept my CDL and will NOT have the lingering effects of a DUI charge on job applications. First...don't drink and drive - but if you ever mess up....call Richard Larson.

Very Professional Representation

Mr. Lawson handled my case in a professional manner and achieved the best possible results for me. He was extremely knowledgeable and answered all of my calls and questions quickly. I would recommend him highly.

The best of the best

Richard contacted me literalty 60 sec. (on the phone) after I emailed him on his site. He walked me thru the steps I needed to do, and explained to me how the process would work and it happened as he said it would. I did NO JAIL TIME, was able to keep my drivers license and the court fine didn't br...eak me. When it comes to DUI lawyers; Richard Lawson is in deed the best of the best.
