Tremendous - results oriented!

I found myself in trouble with the law for the first time having been arrested for failure to maintain lane and DUI - but with refusal. Needless to say, angst, frustration & fear of potential impact to my career provided many sleepless hours. Within hours of contacting Richard Lawson's office (email... at 2 AM), I was on the phone with Richard. Immediately, he was able to begin calming my fears. I explained my situation and Richard laid out options for me to think about. I made the right decision to have him represent me. He immediately began to go to work. Sarah, his law clerk, recommended a list of things to focus on before my day in court . Her professional, friendly demeanor offered reassurance and confidence that they were working for the best possible results. During the entire process, if there was a call, question, email, or text sent, Richard and team were quick to respond. Richard's knowledge, experience and perseverance provided me with the best possible outcome as the most serious charge was reduced , no jail time and my license returned without restriction (Richard kept me being able to drive throughout the entire process). Completion of the pre-court recommendations was tremendously beneficial as well. The judge commented that I had gotten myself an excellent attorney! I agree - the results speak for themselves! Thank you again Richard and Sarah.

Richard Lawson is simply the best

Words cannot describe how satisfied I was with Richard Lawson representing me in my DUI case. I am so glad I picked up the phone and called him that Saturday after my arrest. He promptly returned my call and put me at ease. I was facing real dire consequences for my actions that night and Richard got... me the best outcome possible. My charge was reduced to reckless driving,no jail time and I managed to keep my license. Truly remarkable outcome for me and my family. I had already received a DUI charge over 20 years ago so I was extremely worried about the outcome that I was facing. Without Richard's knowledge of the law, vast experience in dui cases and relationships in the courtroom this all would have been almost next to impossible. Also, Sarah his assistant was a pleasure to work with. She was always available answer questions and keep me updated on my case. Richard Lawson is simply the best. Thanks again

Mr. Lawson saved my career. He took everything into his own hands, and turned my nearly certain DUI, into Wreckless Driving!!!! I can not thank you enough Sir. 1,000,000 pounds has been lifted off my shoulders. RICHARD LAWSON IS THE SUPERMAN OF HIS PROFESSION.

Exceeded expectations

Richard did a fantastic job representing me. I faced two charges. Right off the bat he got one of the charges dropped. He then negotiated a better outcome for me on the other one than I thought was possible. He responded to my texts and e-mails promptly, advised me wisely throughout my case, and I ca...n't recommend him highly enough.

Thank you Richard Lawson!

My daughter graduated high school with honors and was enrolled in college pursing a business degree with high hopes for her future, when she made a mistake and received a DUI. That’s when I found Mr. Richard Lawson, he provided exactly what we needed to get us through this emotional and stressful ti...me. My daughter and I felt our world was crashing down and there was no way up. Once we met Mr. Lawson, he calmed us immediately with his easy going nature and his strong desire to listen and understand the pertinent facts. Mr. Lawson proved to be a blessing by the way he handled our concerns with kindheartedness, respectability and empathy. Richard Lawson assured us that she would be able to recover, a DUI has devastating effects on anyone. Support and “peace of mind” were the two things that my daughter and I needed that Richard exemplified almost automatically and they were my deciding factors when I choose him as our lawyer. Mr. Lawson is also well known and respected in the Forsyth County Courts and without a doubt, having Richard’s prominence and prestige in our corner helped my daughter. Mr. Lawson worked to ensure that the courts would allow her time to finish up some classes. He also went above and beyond, to make certain she didn’t have to serve jail time and she even received a reduced offense. I have full confidence that every possible action was being taken to ensure we achieved the best possible outcome. One of the most impressive things about Mr. Lawson is that he cared about my daughter’s future. My daughter does have some things to finish up, however she no longer feels hopeless, overwhelmed or disheartened. Thank you Richard Lawson for listening, defining goals, setting expectations, getting results, and most of all for giving me comfort in knowing that you had my daughter’s best interest as your priority. I cannot say “Thank you” enough.
