Excellent Legal Team Delivered Excellent Results

When I was faced with a DUI charge in the state of Georgia, I found Mr. Lawson's information online and his reviews on this site. After receiving no assistance from a pair of attorneys in my immediate area, I called Mr. Lawson's office and was impressed when he answered the phone himself. He was ab...le to consult me immediately on a time-sensitive matter related to my case, ultimately resulting in my being able to keep my license. He got me in touch with one of his associates who expertly handled my case (helping me to keep my license, reduce my DUI charge to Reckless Driving, and negotiating my probation to end early, among other great results). Mr. Lawson and his team are experts and I'm very happy I chose to work with them.

Richard Lawson Saved Me!

Thanks to Richard, I still have my job! I was arrested 5 months ago for a DUI. As soon as I got home, I started checking reviews for attorneys in the Metro Atlanta area. Richard's reviews were by far the best I could find, and I am so happy that I trusted the reviews I read. Richard was incredi...bly helpful, and helped me through an very trying time in my life. This was unfortunately my second DUI, and I was terrified that I was going to lose my job since I am in sales, and drive a company car for a living. Richard was able to get the charges reduced to reckless driving and saved my career! If the DUI would have stuck, I would have, without a doubt, been on the computer tonight looking for another job, instead of writing this review. Throughout the whole process, Richard was very professional, and always returned all of my emails and calls right away. His assistant, Elizibeth, was a pleasure to deal with as well. I am so happy with my choice of an attorney, and I would recommend Richard to anyone that finds themselves in a DUI case!!!

Phenomenal Lawyer, Phenomenal Outcome!

To put it bluntly, Attorney Richard Lawson provided a phenomenal service on my DUI case. Prior to hiring his firm I thoroughly researched local DUI lawyers in order to ensure that I hired the best and the best is what I got. From the beginning, Attorney Lawson made himself available to fully review t...he circumstances of my case, explained the processes, steps and options that were available to me, answered my questions and concerns even when I was being a difficult client, and consulted with a team of experts that were able to hone in on a strategy for success. I know that there are many attorneys out there stating that they will successfully negotiate favorable terms for your DUI case but I'm telling you the buck stops here! I was facing DUI charges in Paulding County, a conservative county west of Atlanta, but after hiring Attorney Richard Lawson my charges were reduced to Wreckless Driving. Before leaving the courthouse the court staff told me that they had never seen that happen in their court. Because of this outcome I will be able to move forward with my career without having to worry about a DUI conviction on my record. For yourself, your family, and your future, I strongly recommend that you pick up the phone and contact attorney Richard Lawson to review your case. Thanks, A.F.

DUI dismissed- Top of the line representation!

I was charged with DUI/Alcohol and you refused the state administered test and also failure to maintain lane. End result was a reduction from DUI to Reckless Driving only and the Failure to Maintain Lane dismissed. I was charged a minimum fine and non reporting probation. Richard was my initial conta...ct and found an attorney and consulted with me immediately. I was very impressed with level of professionalism and promptness with this firm. Could not have asked for a better outcome of my case!

Richard Lawson

Richard Lawson was a Godsend. I received my 4th DUI in Feb. of this year, 2013 plus simple assault on an officer. By a stroke of luck I found Richard and contacted him. He called me back immediately, which I might add was on a weekend. He went to work immediately which saved my license until cour...t. He got the assault charge dropped. They initially offered me a deal of six months jail time, but Richard got it reduced to 15 days which is the minimum required by law. He used an expert in the field who appeared in court with me also. He also assured me at the end of the trial that he would be here for me to help get my license back in record time. He has done everything he promised and more. I would highly recommend Richard. TVB
