The Micheal Jordan of DUI Lawyers

If you find yourself in trouble in GA, Richard is hands down the only option you should consider. I work in a field where a DUI could seriously damage my career. I couldn't ask for a better lawyer. He was able to get my DUI reduced to reckless driving even though I took the breathalyzer and field so...briety tests, and he kept my license from being suspended. I truly could not believe it. I made him repeat himself because I thought I had misunderstood what he had said. I don't know how he did it, but I thank God I came across his name and hired him personally. You get what you pay for and was worth every penny. Anytime I needed to speak with him, he was there for me. If you choose to use any other attorney in that area, you're an idiot. Real Talk...he is the Micheal Jordan of DUI lawyers. Richard literally saved my life! Thank you again Richard.

DUI Less Safe to Reckless

Richard was able to get my charge from DUI Less Safe reduced to Reckless Driving. I served no jail time. I only paid fines, court costs, and did community service. This was crucial for my career which requires a security clearance.

Excellent Attorney and Staff!!!!

After driving through a roadblock which was poorly marked and indistinguishable as such, I was stopped and arrested for DUI/Refusal. This would be my second in five years and from everything that I read I would be facing serious consequences that would destroy my life as well as those of my childre...n who are dependent upon me driving them everywhere they need to be. Unsure of where to turn and who to call I turned to the Internet and was bombarded by the names of DUI lawyers. After reading reviews on the Avvo website it was clear to me that Mr Lawson and his team of excellent attorneys was by far the best choice for my case. After calling the office Mr Lawson called me back quickly and listened intently while I explained my situation. He took his time with me asking questions and analyzing my case. He treated me with enormous patience and respect. I'm sure he could hear the fear in my voice and took care to be honest with me about the severity of my predicament while reassuring me that he and his staff would work hard to get me the best possible outcome for my case. He matched me with one of the other amazingly brilliant attorneys on his team who was just as patient, kind and respectful as Mr Lawson himself. My attorney and the staff worked extremely hard on my case keeping me in touch the entire time. They managed to accomplish the seemingly impossible. My DUI was DISMISSED!!!! It was a miracle!!!! I am overjoyed at the positive outcome of my case and I would definitely recommend Mr Lawson and his brilliant team of attorneys and excellent staff to anyone facing a criminal charge. They are all extremely knowledgeable and incredible! I can't thank them enough for all that they did for me! A.K.

Best DUI attorney

Richard really made me feel safe and I told him several times that the expense for me was something that I needed to do to treat myself well during my recovery. The outcome was truly a miracle and I am grateful that I treated myself to a great attorney. People that I came across during the process tr...uly raved about him & that the fact he would keep my best interest a priority. I felt he did. I was able to keep my license and have 40 hours community service, 3 days jail time after 3 Dui
