Arrested for "less than DUI", I didn't know of a lawyer in Cobb County, much less one who specialized in DUI. So I used Google and started calling around. I was highly skeptical. Most law firms have answering machines, gatekeepers, secretaries. But at this firm, a knowledgeable person answered th...e phone - even though it was after hours. They walked me through the process, gave me guidance, and immediately put me in direct contact with the lawyer. Rather than just pleading out the case like most lawyers would do, Richard started gathering all the evidence. Meanwhile, he gave me specific instructions to follow so that I’d be fully and properly prepared for my court date… He told me to take certain classes, steps, tests, etc. It was a huge pain the butt, but his guidance meant we’d both be ready for whatever might happen. In the end, Richard informed me of all my risks and options, and then he negotiated for what I believe was the best outcome. I am 100% satisfied with his services.

I hired mr Lawson to represent a close friend of mine an he did a awesome job . He took a lot it time asking questions an learning the important facts around our case . I have also called him concerning other legal issues an he has taken time to call me back an help me with understanding the facts an... at no charge . This man cares about you an your case an that makes all the difference in the world , it made a world of difference for us , thanks Richard ! Edward Barton

After doing some thorough research on the best DUI lawyers in GA, I chose Richard. I called Richard the day after my charge and he guided me through the entire process hand and foot from there. Him and his associate attorney, Jaime, were available 24/7 and responded to any question I had instantly wh...ether it be through email, text or over the phone. I had never been in any situation like this before and was by no means very familiar with how the legal system operates. Richard couldn’t have been more professional and made it all easy to understand by explaining everything to me very succinctly and straightforward. Before my court date I had another traffic incident that could have very easily violated my driving permit and result in my license being suspended. The officer involved had mishandled my citation and Richard spoke with her supervisor the next day and got it all resolved immediately. The court date was set for after my DUI hearing so that my permit would not be violated and I was able to continue driving. Richard was ultimately even able to get the citation dropped altogether as part of my DUI plea deal. Due to COVID, my court hearing was supposed to be done virtually over zoom but Richard had never heard back from the prosecutor providing the link. Richard called me the day before my original court date letting me know he had not heard from the prosecutor and was going to go talk with him before court the next morning. I met him at the courthouse that morning and by the time I had arrived Richard had already spoken with the prosecutor and negotiated a plea deal to get my DUI charge reduced to reckless driving. This was the best possible outcome in my case. Following my incident, I expected the DUI charge to upend my life but thanks to Richard this couldn’t have been further from the case. My life was able to proceed uninterrupted as if the incident had never happened while Richard handled everything for me behind the scenes. Now my record is still clean and there are no extenuating circumstances affecting my professional life. As a former ADA and DUI prosecutor, Richard simply has the knowledge, foresight, and relationships other attorneys don’t. Anyone who finds themselves in this situation and charged with a DUI would be foolish to go with any other attorney. I could not be more thankful and grateful for all his help. Thank you Richard.

I contacted Richard and his associates to get a consultation. His advice and second opinion on a pertinent matter in my case was priceless! He answered my call in the evening around 7:30. This in itself speaks volumes for how dedicated he is to his clients. If you need an attorney that will be there ...when you need him, I wouldn’t think twice to hire him for your case. Five stars all the way!

I hired Mr. Lawson for my DUI, his office was on top of everything from the very first minute. Mr. Lawson asked me what I wanted TK outcome to be and set reasonable expectations, which I researched to be very accurate and best case scenarios. He told me what things to do prior to the court and I fo...llowed the instructions. The court was a breeze. My DUI was dropped down to a wreck less driving and speeding was dropped to no points speeding violation. I highly recommend Richard Lawson as your DUI attorney if you find yourself in this situation.
