DUI arrest - Best Outcome

Best possible choice! I hired Richard Lawson after a DUI arrest in Fulton county based on his reputation and reviews on this site, it was the right decision. He guided my case through a complicated process and won a full dismissal. This dismissal would not have happened without his attention to deta...il and professional court demeanor. Also, we had a lot of communication and met in advance of each court appearance. He knew exactly what was important to me and then blew me away with this huge win. -Great Lawyer.

Worth the Wait

I was under the age of 21 when I was arrested for DUI. I hired Richard Lawson and he was able to move my case to state court where I would not have to appear in court until after I was 21. It took two years for my case to appear before the judge, but Richard Lawson was able to keep me out of jail, dr...iving without any restrictions and kept me off probation. This entire situation turned out way better than I ever could have imagined - all because of Mr. Lawson and his team. Sarah Illg, Law Clerk to Richard Lawson, was also very knowledgeable and thorough about any questions or concerns I had throughout the process.

Excellent satisfaction !

First time to ever deal with the law, and Mr. Lawson helped me out extremely. Open container charge was dropped and simple possession of marijuana was put on record restriction, as he also helped me avoid being put on probation. If I ever was to get in trouble again, which I won't, I wouldn't hesitat...e to call him asap!

Fourth DUI Arrest

After careful research I contracted with the Law Offices of Richard Lawson for my 4th DUI arrest in 10 years. The entire legal process to the point of my court disposition lasted a brief 5 months with only 1 court appearance. Needless to say, my expectations were overachieved in many ways. Mr. Law...son was successful in getting the prosecution to handle my case as a first DUI offender. The court accepted this plea and I was not sentenced to any additional jail time and received non-reporting 12 months of probation. The Law Offices of Richard Lawson were honest, prompt and engaging with me as a client, providing initial and ongoing consultation to best improve a positive outcome for my court case. I experienced a high degree of professionalism from Mr. Lawson and his staff throughout this process and would strongly recommend Mr. Lawson for any cases involving multiple DUI's.
