Best case scenario

Richard was available to me anytime and answered all my questions very promptly. After getting a DUI I called his office and he immediately called me back on a Sunday to ask for details about my case. He was thorough in explaining all possible outcomes and instructed me on everything I should do ahea...d of time to end up with the best case scenario, which is exactly what happened. My charge was reduced to a reckless driving and I’m thankful that Richard was able to make that happen for me!

Exceptionally Knowledgeable Attorney

Richard did an amazing job handling my DUI. I didn’t give him much to work with but he was able to get the minimum outcome possible. Additionally, he is exceptionally knowledgeable on the law and prevented additional conditions from being imposed that shouldn’t have been applied. His recommendations ...were right on and helping me both before and after trial. I’m fortunate to have found him while searching the internet and couldn’t be happier with my decision.

Above and beyond

Mr. Lawson went above and beyond for me. Not only did he get me a excellent deal on my dui's he handed my restitution hearing on his own time and saved me almost 40 thousand dollars! I couldn't have asked for a better lawyer. I would definitely recommend him especially if your case was very serious a...s mine was.

Honest lawyer who will get you the best deal possible for your case.

I hired Richard to defend me on a DUI Less Safe charge coupled with two speeding tickets based on his prior experience as a prosecutor. Throughout the duration of my case, Richard provided honest advice and timely replies to my questions. As this was my first ever meeting with the court, I had a lo...t of questions, but Richard showed understanding and empathy for my situation. After one year and three months of negotiations with an inflexible prosecutor, Richard was able to reduce the charges to wreck less driving and one count of speeding. I am happy with the outcome, and I am glad I choose Richard Lawson to represent me.
