Unbelievable

I got a DUI, which I blew a .204, an open container, failure to maintain lane and operating improperly equipped vehicle (because I had blown a tire while driving). I was sure I was going to lose my job (which revolves completely around driving) and thought my life was over. This was my first offense ...and I had never been arrested in my life. I called Richard Lawson's office and he instructed me to do a few different things before I arrived in court in order to give him a good amount of ammunition since I blew so high and received SO many different tickets. When I arrived at court I had completed a MADD panel, Alcohol and Drug Counselor evaluation, 43 hours of community service and the DUI course. He was able to get every single ticket thrown out and the DUI reduced to a DISORDERLY CONDUCT! I could not believe it. He has exceeded my expectations and saved my future. It was incredible.

Excellent legal representation and counseling by Richard Lawson!

Being charged with a DUI is a painful experience, and having gone through it, I fully appreciate the necessity of getting expert legal help. Very fortunately for me, after a bit of research, I called Richard Lawson (based on his experience and credentials with this kind of case), and I will forever b...e grateful I did. My charge has just been reduced from DUI to reckless driving, and this optimal outcome is entirely due to both Richard's excellent legal representation and the invaluable advice he provided me throughout my case. I would also add that Richard was incredibly responsive to my many questions, and if you have been charged with DUI it is certain that you will have very many questions indeed..

Calling Richard Lawson was a lifesaver!

I was arrested for DUI and was VERY scared and did not know what to do. I called Richard's office on a weekend and he returned my call promptly. Richard was able to calm me down, listened to my situation, and patiently answered my many questions. He told me what I needed to do, what to expect, and... put me in contact with his team. This phone call to Richard was the smartest thing that I did. He put the wheels in motion to get a fantastic outcome to my case. When you are scared and have to find help with an unknown situation, it is very daunting to find a lawyer that you can trust! I'm so thankful that I called Richard!! I recommend him 100% to help you out of a bad situation.

Complete DISMISSAL!

I can't thank Richard enough for the outstanding job he did on my case. My DUI/reckless driving charges were completely dismissed – no trial!! Richard's hard work, diligence, client dedication, and savvy negotiation skills are priceless, and worth every single cent. His team is also amazing. He... knows exactly how to leverage each person’s best assets. I am truly grateful to everyone involved! Richard has tremendous experience on both sides of the aisle – prosecutor and defense attorney. Knowing this, I had full confidence in him from the very beginning. He exercised impeccable judgment, and utilized his connections, qualities and characteristics in a way that enabled us to win what would seem like an improbable case to win. Thanks to Richard, I am able to enjoy the fruits of my recently completed MBA, and can live a much more worry free life. Thanks again Richard!!

A law firm you can trust.

I was arrested for DUI late Friday night in Columbus, GA. After posting bond I was informed that I had to appear in court that Monday. Saturday I feverishly tried contacting local attorneys only to be met with their, "Sorry our office is closed", messages. I turned to google and came across Richard ...Lawson. After seeing so many favorable reviews I knew I had to give him a call. To my surprise I was able to get a hold of Mr. Lawson on Saturday. He was diligent in gathering all the details of my arrest. After our in depth conversation Mr. Lawson said he would contact me again that day to recommend how I should proceed. Not even an hour later Mr. Lawson connected me with one of the top attorneys at his firm. The professionalism and peace of mind that Mr. Lawson offered made dealing with this stressful matter a lot more bearable. Do yourself a favor and call Mr. Lawson and let his team go to bat for you.
