Top Notch Lawyer/ Miracle worker

I have to say that Mr Lawson is very experienced and will do the job to the T. I had 2 previous DUI's and was a habitual violator with many driving infractions. I got a third with a child endangerment(that would be 4 in 10 felony), finally opened my eyes but really needed the help of a very good atto...rney. Richard Lawson had 19 years experience and many wonderful reviews. Miracle worker would be an understatement. If you are in need I would most definitely pick this MAN.

Great Initial Contact and referral

Mr. Lawson was my initial contact. He spent quite a bit of time on the phone with me the first day discussing the charges in my case and deciding who on his team could best represent me as I was arrested in a different city and county than where I live.

DUI Dismessed

I got arrested for a refusal after a minor fender bender in Dawson County. I had no idea when it happened that a refusal was such a serious matter. I was looking at losing my license for a year and possible jail time. I chose Richard Lawson because of all the great reviews and high rating and I am... glad I did. I got the best possible outcome by getting the DUI dismissed!! It turns out that sometimes an officer doesn't have the right to ask you to take any tests just because you were in a minor accident and your eyes look bloodshot. Richard Lawson answered my phone call the day after it happened, when I was upset and depressed (on a Sunday), and he was polite and reassuring. If you find yourself in the extremely tough situation of facing a DUI call Richard Lawson and you will not be disappointed.

charges that changed my life

I was arrested for DUI and child endangerment in December 2013. Having no knowledge of the law my office manager gave me the name of Richard Lawson. After I called him he gave me every step that was going to happen. I was charged with DUI as well as Child Endangerment which would be very destruct...ive to my career . Mr. Lawson gave me several options for this court case as I am not knowledgeable in law practices. Every time I called the office Elizabeth was always willing and very knowledgeable about the proceedings and was always very kind. In the process Mr.Lawson gave me insight into the long hours and tedious work that he constantly provides to insure the best outcome for his clients. This month I appeared before a judge for the final hearing and believe me when I say this is just amazing that the DUI as well as child endangerment charges were all dropped. This is obviously due to Mr. Lawson making sure every base was covered for my good. I cannot recommend him more highly than to say if your career and life are at stake- be sure you call him first I am so grateful for Richard Lawson
