Richard is great!

I strongly recommend Richard Lawson as a DUI attorney. He got my charges reduced to reckless driving and kept me out of jail. He and Sarah were terrific throughout the whole process. They kept me informed every step of the way and they were always very responsive. The guidance and advice was a great ...comfort and helped get me through the difficult situation that I found myself in. I don't know about any of the other DUI attorneys out there, but I can't imagine that any of them would have done a better job, or achieved a better result for me, than Richard Lawson and Sarah Illg.

I knew I went with the best!

Mr. Lawson and Sarah are extremely straightforward and highly immersed in the DUI category. I researched over a dozen top 10's and am very pleased with Mr. Lawson. His work is diligent, Eagle stroke quality and relieving. I fretted and freaked about a barely DUI being new to Georgia and being in a ne...w state and society, I had No clue to what was and wasn't. But, I knew that my butt was covered legally by Mr. Lawson and never lost a wink of sleep due to their up-front, no nonsense approach. Laid all the cards down, fired every possible question I could think of, basically interviewed these guys and today, success! They reduced an out of town DUI to Reckless and saved every bit of my driving and personal privileges and rights, other than probation. And if ever I know of someone in this situation, no question I'd recommend, more like demand there is no other to go with. Bravo Zulu Richard and Sarah, and good job on your Bar Sarah, well done! Another to add to the ranks of legal success. Thank you again. Tony S.

Highly Recommend.!

A Big Thanks to Richard Lawson. I messed up after 34yrs and got a super speeder ticket and a DUI. Richard was able to get the speeding ticket dropped and the DUI reduced to a reckless driving. Saving my CDL and my job of 21yrs.. Thanks again.!!

Choose Richard and Sara if you want a positive outcome

I was charged with a Dui in Georgia as an out of state business traveler. This was my third DUI charge overall and I was charged with DUI Drugs Less Safe for falling asleep at the wheel while driving to my work location. Needless to say, this looked really bad on paper and I was terrified. I hired ...Richard and his assistant Sarah to help mitigate the consequences of this charge. Richard got my charge reduced to a reckless operation, I never had to go back to Georgia and paid a $1000.00 Fine with no probation. I did have to complete a 20 hr driving class that I completed in my home state and 40 hours of community service. I highly recommend not getting a DUI, but in this society, it is easier than anyone realizes. If you are looking for a DUI Attorney in GA, stop looking, hire Richard and try to relax. Everything is going to be alright. Thanks Richard and Sarah!

Great Advice

After hitting a building with my car I was arrested for a DUI. I was scared. The first thing I did was call Richard Lawson. He listened to me with a kind disposition. I felt immediately at ease. He gave me wonderful advice and refered me to a lawyer who works on his team. I had no time to wait... for the arraignment date because I was moving out of the country with my family. This team made it happen! My DUI was reduced to a Reckless Driving charge. I was able to move with my family and keep my license. Calling Richard Lawson's firm was the best decision I could have made. I am very grateful for everything.
