DUI reduced to reckless

I hired Mr Lawson almost immediately after I was arrested for DUI. Mr. Lawson and his team wasted no time and started working diligently as soon as hired. They always had answers to my questions, took care of everything involving the case, and put my mind at ease throughout the entire process, They k...new how important this was to my military career and without hesitation did everything they could to resolve the matter. I can't thank them enough.

Thank you to everyone in Lawson Offices<3

I got both a DUI as well as a possession of marijuana charge a few hours outside of the town I live in and my significant other immediately found Richard Lawson after asking around and looking up every lawyer online. He recommended him on behalf of his credentials as well as his success in past cases..., which I can now personally back up as extremely accurate based on my own experience with him. I was very anxious about the whole thing but after hiring Richard Lawson as my attorney and speaking to the wonderful ladies in his office who helped me with what to do next, I felt a thousand times better. Especially Sarah- she has been with me every scary step of the way via email, phone, and text. She is super genuine and has always been very patient and warm with me. Everyone replies immediately which was amazing for me since I lived out of town and couldn't go to the office myself if I wanted to. Richard and Sarah gave me steps to follow before court and in doing so it really helped the outcome of my case. Richard kept me in the loop the whole time, especially while in actual court. He was very familiar and fluid moving around the courtroom and handled my case with such ease. I feel like I got very lucky in finding Mr. Lawson because the results of my case were a million times better than what I was anticipating and I believe I got the absolute best outcome because of him and the magic he pulled for me in court. I genuinely appreciate everything Richard Lawson as well as everyone in his office did for me. I have never met a group of people who were not only very professional, but also down-to-earth and real. THANK YOU ALL AGAIN :) (^@ Lawson offices)

Phenomenal Attorney! Second to None!

The single greatest think you can do to have a favorable outcome in your DUI case is to hire Attorney Richard Scott Lawson. His experience is second to none, he knows the courts, the judges and the laws better than anyone. You cannot have better representation, he is reliable, honest, trustworthy, an...d worth EVERY penny of his fee. If you happen to get yourself in a situation where you have a DUI charge, do yourself a favor and hire Attorney Richard Scott Lawson. My story: I selected Attorney Richard Scott Lawson as my attorney after getting charged with a DUI in Acworth, GA. I was in Georgia for work on travel from my job in Connecticut for 2 years, when I received the DUI charge, my first charge of any kind whatsoever. Attorney Lawson knew the laws, the courts and the judges, and had the case transferred multiple times till he was able to get it transferred to state court where he felt we had a chance at a favorable outcome. Before going to court, Attorney Lawson had an extensive investigation of my arrest conducted by an ex-police officer to discover what evidence he could use in court to have the charges reduced. We took the case to state court about a year and a half from the original date of the charge, and I flew in to Atlanta for the motions when Attorney Lawson told me it was time. It was an honor and a privileged to watch Attorney Lawson make motions in court. Attorney Lawson presented the facts of the case that his investigation revealed, including the fact that the video the officer took was not viable, because he had the camera directed at the interior of the car, not outside where the sobriety test was conducted. The prosecutor did a 180 degree turn after hearing Attorney Lawson speak, and both the judge and the prosecutor agreed that Attorney Lawson was 100 percent right!!!! Attorney Lawson had the charges reduced to reckless driving, and I left the situation with my record, my dignity, and the knowledge that I had the best attorney there is for a DUI on my side!!! If you happen to get yourself in a situation where you have a DUI charge, do yourself a favor and hire Attorney Richard Scott Lawson. I am extremely glad I did!!!! Thank you Attorney Richard Scott Lawson!!!!

He gave me back my life!

This was my first run in with the law at 63.It was a DUI out of state. As soon as possible I started my search for an attorney. Mr. Lawsons firm was my first call. The lady I spoke with was incredible. It was no time when I was contacted by Mr. Lawson himself. Due to my fear it was very calming to sp...eak to him. From that point on until my court date and after, there was never an email, text, call or issue that was not addressed direct. He had me well prepared and ahead of everything.Court date arrived and Mr. Lawson was able to get my DUI charge reduced to reckless driving as well as get my failure to maintain lane charge added so no more points were taken from my SC license. He kept me driving and I would HIGHLY recommend him as well as his firm.

Excellent outcome (Alpharetta)

Mr Richard and his team did a great job in reducing my DUI to a reckless driving. His assistant, Sarah was available all the time and helpful, if I had any questions or concerns. He knows what he can achieve and negotiate based on your case and he predicts case outcome in advance, which will help you... to get ready in advance. Ex: Number of community service hours etc, He seems to know the Court staff (Alpharetta) very well. I am extremely satisfied with the outcome.
