Extremely helpful

Even though it was all bad news for us, Mr. Lawson explained why and gave me detailed information about our case and the law and the system. It saved me wasting time all day calling around. My advice: call a lawyer when you have the offense, not years down the road.

Highly Recommend Richard Lawson

Mr. Lawson provides excellent counsel. He is very responsive and understanding of a client's particular circumstance, and he explains the law clearly and thoroughly. I was extremely grateful for Richard's representation and can recommend him without reservation.

Review of Richard Lawson

I called Richard Lawson on Memorial Day weekend late Friday afternoon. I needed an attorney immediately. He walked me through the process of representation and was hired the next afternoon. Throughout the case he personally updated me on all proceedings and answered any questions I had. He assur...ed me of the outcomes and consequences and advised me on what to do before each court date. Twice in the last year after my case was completed, long after representation, I have called on him for advice and questions about my case. He was available and helped advise a potential employer on my character and the laws surrounding my case. Always cordial and knowledgeable.

Fantastic Lawyer

I hired Mr. Lawson when I got a DUI. I couldn’t have asked for a more pleasant experience. He explained everything to me in detail and told me what to expect. I was afraid, since I have never been in the courts before. I knew I was in good hands. He knew exactly what to do, and this helped take... some of the worry away while going through this scary process. He always answered my questions, and returned my phone calls promptly when I needed to talk to him. I had a lot to lose if I got a DUI on my record and my nerves were shattered. I knew there were no guarantees as to how my case would turn out, and Mr. Lawson told me that everything that he could legally do for me, would be done. Mr. Lawson was prepared to take my case to trial, and we were ready to go trial. Just before the trial day came, Mr. Lawson convinced the prosecutor to reduce my DUI charge to reckless driving. No more DUI! I owe a lot to Mr. Lawson, and I highly recommend him.

He got the job done

I was very happy with Mr. Lawson, he was both great lawyer and a real gentlemen. I must admit that when I first got my DUI, I was worried that my life would completely change. Mr. Lawson advised me on the entire situation and gave me hope that things could be ok. After going to court with Mr. Lawson,... things really did work out better than I had expected, He had a good relationship with the Judge and the prosecutor, and that seemed to help a lot. I recommend Richard Lawson to anybody without any hesitation. Thanks, Steve M.
