Best DUI lawyer

Words alone cannot explain how happy I am with hiring Mr. Lawson as my attorney. When I was stopped for what turned out to be my second DUI, I didn’t know where to turn. I very fortunately found Richard Lawson after reading about his experience and reading his reviews from his website. From star...t to finish he always answered his phone, responded to emails and explained things to me in a way that I was able to understand. Most concerning to me was the potential to lose my CDL that I need for work. Mr. Lawson not only was able to save my CDL, he had my charges reduced to reckless driving and the final results were better than expected and very fair. Richard Lawson, was able to work with the prosecutor and the judge in a way that exceed my expectations. If you ever need a lawyer for DUI, please do not look further than Richard Lawson, he is the best. Thank you Mr. Lawson, I will never forget you.

Extremely Please, Highly Recommened

While visiting Georgia I received a DUI. I immediately started searching for a lawyer. I was fortunate enough to find Mr. Richard Lawson. I call him on a Sunday morning and was able to talk to him and discuss my case. He immediately set me up with one of his associates, Ms. Berry. She was excellent. ...They were both able to answer all of my questions and made me feel at ease every time we talked. My phones calls were always returned promptly even after hours. Mr. Lawson and Ms. Berry both represented me court on the day of my trail. They exceeded my expectations by far. They approached my case with extreme knowledge and understanding of every law. Mr. Lawson took my case to trial and was able to reach a not guilty verdict. I am extremely grateful for their expertise and professionalism. They have done wonders for me and my family. I would highly recommend Mr. Lawson and his team. This should be your first and last call if you ever find yourself in this situation. Thank you again for all that you have done for me and my family.

Richard Lawson changed my life

I was arrested for a DUI and didn’t really know what to do. I didn’t start researching attorneys until 2 weeks after my arrest. I found out that when I contacted Mr. Lawson that I only had 10 days to contest my license suspension and this was day 11. I immediately retained Mr. Lawson’s services an...d he went to work. He appealed my suspension with the head of legal for driver’s services and stopped my license from being suspended. This was a huge win in itself because otherwise my License would have been suspended for 12 months. Next Mr. Lawson was able to convince the arresting officer to remove the suspension of my license in the ALS hearing. Once this was done I was able to go get my license back. I was able to drive my vehicle during this whole process and didn’t spend 1 day with an actual suspension. To put the final cherry on top, Mr. Lawson had my DUI reduced to a reckless driving charge. He seemed to know everyone in the court room and worked with them all very well in getting my charges reduced. I am so very glad that I chose Mr. Lawson to represent me and he is worth every penny.

Thank you Richard

Richard Lawson was extremely professional with his work and managed to reduce my situation where it would not be left on my record as well as come to a very fair agreement with the prosecutor and judge. The end result was much better than I was ever expecting and I cannot be any more thankful for Ric...hard's hard work. I wouldn't have wanted to have another lawyer, I will recommend Richard to anyone. Thank you again.

Very pleased

Upon contacting Mr. Lawson, he asked me what I hoped to achieve through his services. I was very concerned about losing my license for a full year, as well as the prospect of jail time. Despite it being my 2nd DUI, I received no jail time, only 4 months of a hardship license, and it was treated as a ...first time DUI. And finally, the level of customer service was exemplary, from availability to answer questions to assistance with transportation. If you find yourself, unfortunately, dealing with a DUI, I would recommend Mr. Lawson without reservation.
