All Dismissed-Simply Amazing!!!

Richard and Sarah were amazing. Never being in a position like this before was unnerving and scary to say the least. We met with Richard first as there are so many lawyers out there for DUI, which one to choose and trust? I didn't want to give my hard earned money to just anyone, I needed someone who... believed in me and would fight for me. Richard was amazing, he took all three of my charges and had them dismissed. I owe my career to Richard and Sarah. Worth ever penny!!!

More Than Amazing

Richard is one of the most skilled and knowledgeable professionals I've encountered in my 25 years of corporate experience, he also went above and beyond all my hope and expectations. He blew me away and successfully got my BUI (boating under the influence) charge reduced to reckless boating. I'm for...ever grateful that Richard listened to me and truly helped me understand, my case, my options, and how to navigate the process to an best-case scenario outcome for me.

Thank you Richard

I highly recommend Richard. The morning after my arrest I wasn't sure what direction to go, let alone what attorney to go with. However, I could not have been more thankful for picking up the phone and calling Richard's office. He got back with me within minutes and the process started. This was very... hard for me since I had never been around this type of issue and Richard was very kind, patient and always willing to talk through my concerns. He was on top of everything from day one and fought hard for my case. The things that I heard that could happen with having a lawyer handling the case did not necessarily happen due to Georgia laws, but Richard was able to get the DUI reduced to reckless driving. I am thankful as reckless driving is certainly the better of the two. Thank you Richard for all you did for me!

Look No Further

Richard and his team saved my life and my career. I was charged with a 2nd DUI in 10 years and was facing significant jail time. Richard helped reduce the jail time and I did not have to miss a day of work. Even after my case closed, Richard still answered my calls and emails. Unfortunately, I ended ...up having a probation violation for failing an alcohol screen and I was on the verge of losing my job. Richard saved my career and worked with a very unreasonable probation officer to come to a more than fair outcome. I was extremely anxious about the outcome, but I gave up control and let Richard take the reigns and boy am I glad I did so.

Impressive Results

Richard exceeded my Expectations. Initially I found him online but subsequently heard very positive opinions about him from others who work in the DWI arena. He offers 3 tiers of service with the most expensive involving him personally handling the case. I chose this highest tier. I'm glad I did. My ...case was reduced to reckless with no probation or license suspension. He seems to know all the prosecutors and judges. Also, Sarah, his assisting attorney, is very knowledgeable and responds to texts and emails on weekends and at night. Richard and Sarah's services were worth every penny. Don't play games with a DUI!! Hire the heavy weight - Richard Lawson!!
