Excellent Outcome for DUI Refusal

I was very pleased with the outcome in my DUI refusal case which included an accident. Mr. Lawson was able to negotiate a plea in my case that included no jail-time and I got to keep my license. I felt like the cards were stacked against me before talking to Richard, but he and his staff worked dil...igently and constantly kept me in the loop along the way. Mr. Lawson's law clerk, Sarah Illg, went far and beyond anything I could ever ask, with her communication and her guidance through the whole process. Mr. Lawson and Sarah combined were the perfect combination to help get me through this very unfortunate situation and get me the second chance I was looking for. Without hesitation, I would recommend Mr. Lawson and his team. Thank you Richard and Sarah!!

Barrow County DUI

I was stopped at a roadblock in Barrow County while returning from a college football get-together early on New Years Day. Following numerous road side tests, I was asked to submit to a BAC blow test which I did. I was subsequently arrested for DUI as the test was over 0.08. I immediately hired Ric...hard Lawson as my attorney and was very pleased with the outcome. Richard was not only able to get my drivers license back but had the charge reduced to reckless driving with no time in jail. I highly recommend Richard Lawson; he is always available to answer questions and has a very professional staff (especially Sarah).

Extremely Pleased with Outcome

I was extremely pleased with the outcome Richard was able to get me. I was arrested with my first DUI offense and a Hit and Run charge. Richard was able to have the Hit and Run charge dismissed, to keep me driving, and out of jail. Aside from the outcome, Richard was always professional and quickly r...esponsive to any questions I had.

Excellent Representation

I was charged with DUI refusal, failure to maintain lane and possession of an open container that made the case strong for the state. Not knowing what would happen and with immense stress I approached Richard for assistance. The dedication and professionalism shown by Richard not only helped keeping ...my driving privileges and most importantly to a reduced sentence of reckless driving and with immediate non-reporting probation involving no additional jail time. I never had a problem with the law in the past and was very stressed with the risk of loosing my job. The reputation and respect seen at the courtroom for Richard represent his hard work and devotion in dealing with DUI cases for over two decades. I sincerely thank Richard and his assistant Sarah in saving my career and my reputation on the professional and personal fronts but most importantly help securing a second chance in not getting into issues of this sort for the future. I am very pleased with the outcome and would strongly recommend anyone getting into issues to approach Richard for help.

Amazing lawyer

After firing my original incompetent layer, I contacted Mr. Lawson's office. I spoke to a very professional staff whom were extremely knowledgable about the law. Shortly after explaining my situation (blew .15 for DUI) not even 10 minutes later I received a call from Mr. Richard Lawson. He was attent...ive, professional, and to the point. He listened to my case and devised a plan for my defense. Him and his team did an excellent job in communicating with me at all hours of the day and night and tailored it to my schedule. I appreciate such a seasoned professional and expert team defending me in my case which resulted in a deduction to reckless driving. Thank you all JB
