two dui's kept out of jail

Mr. Richard Lawson is a very competent attorney. With his many years of experience, I was well represented. He was always available to answer my questions. When I called him for the first time, he contacted me in less than five minutes. Mr. Lawson emailed all the documents I needed to fill out for... me to become his client in twenty minutes. After appearing before the judge enduring a second dui, Mr. Lawson kept me out of jail. I would recommend anyone to be fortunate enough to be represented by him as I was in the court of law. Thank You for your help.

The best DUI Lawyer ever !

Mr Lawson worked a miracle! I was facing a DUI with a child endangerment case, which was enough to send me to prison for 3 years. he was able to reduce the charges to just a DUI and dismiss the child endangerment charge. I was able to avoid any prison time and I am able to continue to drive because o...f him. I can't thank him enough, the work he did was worth every penny I spent. If you are in the area and need a DUI Lawyer look no further Mr Lawson is the man you need!!!

He delivered even better than expected!

I had a situation with a neighbor that resulted in my being arrested on my property for disorderly conduct. I had expected the charge to be dismissed, but the outcome Mr. Lawson obtained for me was even better than that. Not only was it dismissed, but he got the entire arrest removed from the record,... as if it never happened! I was very happy and relieved with this outcome. Having never been arrested in my adult life, this was a very unsettling situation to me and important to keep my record clean. I wanted this resolved and behind me asap, and he did just that. The case was over in less than two months from the date of the incident. I set the bar high and he jumped over it. He and his staff were very professional and responsive throughout. As my case was not a DUI, it shows that his expertise and reach is well beyond his specialty. If you need legal representation in Dekalb county or ATL metro area, you would be well served to hire Richard Lawson.

VERY PLEASED AND RELIEVED

I hired Richard after being charged with Hit and Run, Following to close and failure to report an accident. I am 49 years old and have never been in any trouble in my life. To say the least I was extremely worried of what my future might hold. I have been self employed most of my adult life and the... main source of income for my family. If I were to lose my license it would literally cause me to lose my business. Every time I reached out to Richard or Sarah they were quick to respond and always helpful. They always assured me that they were doing all they could on their end to hopefully come out with the best possible result. My case was this week and I couldn't be more pleased. The Hit and Run charge was dropped along with Following to close. All I faced was Failure to report an accident. I keep my license and my business. Words cannot express how grateful I am to both of them.

Amazing Attorney, not just for DUI Cases.

Richard saved my license and kept me out of Jail! My experience with Richard and his office was one of professionalism and attentiveness. I had a serious elluding charge against me, and also had a charge of speeding and wreckless driving. I have never been in trouble before and wanted to find the be...st attorney to represent me and I found Richard. I saw that most of his reviews and his speciality was DUI Cases but I consulted with him and he said that he handles all matters of traffic and criminal cases. His office and staff are very friendly and easy to contact. Richard gave me his personal cell and I was able to reach him anytime throughout the process. I was guided and re assured throughout and just had my court appearance yesterday. My charges of elluding were dropped and I got a disorderly charge instead which saved my license and I didn't even have to do probation! My other charges were also dropped and this outcome would not have been possible without Richard. He saved my license, kept me from having probation and kept those points off my license. None of this would have been possible without Richard's experience and relationships with the prosecutors. If you have any legal matter or are in serious trouble you need Richard and his team in your corner. Thank you again!!!
