Reached out to Mr. Lawson after receiving second DUI charges, failure to maintain, and obstruction in Buford, GA. Having just dealt with this trouble, I came in with real concerns. Richard and his associate at the time (Jaime!) informed me of best next steps preparing for court. However, COVID came... along and pushed this process two years along. After the extent of time, and as the request to appear came in, I found myself certain that any defense I might've mustered was wasted by over a year of inaction. I'm very relieved to have known that by hiring Mr. Lawson so long ago, I would have an advocate who was still on my side. From the beginning he made me aware that I could reach out directly and speak, and he was! Trusting Mr. Lawson's advice, and accepting the wide breadth of knowledge in this particularly stressful case that he was very well-informed on, he took my faith and came back to me with our first face-to-face unmasked handshake and relayed the news that the case was dropped!!! Without a doubt, the fact that after all this time that had passed, I had been losing hope for a positive outcome. My first and (HOPEFULLY, no disrespect!) last handshake with Mr. Lawson was also his demonstration and proof that faith in his work is completely grounded. This hiring decision led to the greatest outcome that I hadn't even entertained! The course of my life is diverted not just because of Mr. Lawson's diligence and support, but also because of the myriad negative punitive measures that would have prevented me from improving my prospects and outlook on my future. My family and I are eternally grateful for this outcome and equally grateful that the trust in Mr. Lawson was well-founded and resulted in a happy ending. Highly recommend! 10/10

I recently hired Mr Lawson and his firm to represent me and could not be more satisfied with my decision. I also couldn’t be more grateful for what Mr. Lawson did while being my legal council . I was facing four charges , one of which was a drug related felony so needless to say, it was very serious .... I hired Mr Lawson less than one month before my court date so he didn’t have very much time to build his defense for me and I was very concerned. All my fears and concerns turned into joy and gratitude when I was found not guilty on all for charges after just a day and a half of trial. Simply put, if you find yourself in trouble and needing an experienced criminal defense attorney, Lawson and Berry should be your first and only phone call. Don’t waste your time looking at any other firm and go with the best. Lawson and Berry, I can’t thank you enough for what you did for me

Richard was available to me anytime and answered all my questions very promptly. After getting a DUI I called his office and he immediately called me back on a Sunday to ask for details about my case. He was thorough in explaining all possible outcomes and instructed me on everything I should do ahea...d of time to end up with the best case scenario, which is exactly what happened. My charge was reduced to a reckless driving and I’m thankful that Richard was able to make that happen for me!

Hiring Mr. Lawson was the best decision! He was very quick to respond to texts and calls; he didn't sugarcoat the facts of my case, but at the same time was always reassuring. He was very knowledgeable when explaining the steps of the whole process, which helped me feel prepared for my court appearan...ce. His thoroughness kept me from taking the first deal offered, and he went on to pursue a better deal which we got! You'll be in the best hands with Mr. Lawson as your attorney!

Mr. Lawson was knowledgeable, honest, efficient and direct. He was easily accessible and answered all of my questions promptly. He was able to get my criminal charge (willful obstruction of a law enforcement officer) reduced to a local ordinance (disorderly conduct) that shouldn’t show up on any back...ground checks, which was most important to me. I appreciate his advisement and truly felt he had my best interest in mind. Thank you!
