HE REALLY IS THAT GOOD

Richard Lawson is a successful DUI attorney that got the DUI charges in my case reduced to Reckless Driving. I found Mr. Lawson to be compassionate and always available to answer any questions I had regarding the legal process. His hard work and determination to help me in a time of crisis went be...yond his obligation to fulfill his responsibilities as my legal counsel. I was very impressed with Mr. Lawson's team of "experts" acting on my behalf. Equally impressive is Richard's associate, Kristen who literally "dropped" what she was working on to come and meet with me during a time I needed reassurance. I definitely believe that Mr. Lawson's experience working as a prosecutor in the DA's office gives him an advantage and an edge other attorneys do not have to negotiate a positive outcome for his clients. Richard Lawson has more reviews than any other DUI attorney by a significant number and in review after review, he was successful in getting the charges reduced or dropped. He is a hard working lawyer, available 24/7, and I will always be grateful for his successful handling of my case. This is a good man, he is smart, he cares, and he will fight for you.

Above and Beyond

I believe Mr. Lawson obtained the best possible outcome for me but I was still sentenced to 20 days in jail. After eleven days I was told that I had no release date. The county had failed to enter the results of my trial or even that the trial had occurred. Mr. Lawson contacted the court and got the ...records corrected. He did this at no additional charge. If you find yourself in my situation you will get great representation from Mr. Lawson.

3rd Lifetime DUI

Although it was my first in 18 years once I got my DUI there was a ton of uncertainty. I was referred to a few lawyers but after some research it was clear I needed better and that's when I found Richard. I knew Richard would be the caliber of lawyer I needed and wanted to help me through this orde...al. I contacted Richard and immediately we were engaged and he was ready to help me through this. His guidance and communication are second to none. Richard knows what to do as every case is different he will get the best possible outcome. I was facing some stiff penalties, 60 days in jail, but with Richard's help what could have been a disaster turned out to be a very favorable outcome, 1.75 days in jail. After court Richard continued to help me get my permit and make sure I was going to be OK; most lawyers wouldn't take your call after the court date. If you are reading this review to decide on who to hire, there is no reason to look any further, Richard is the real deal, he cares. SL

Best DUI lawyer out there. Thanks Richard Lawson!!!

What can I say about Mr. Lawson that everyone else hasn't already said? He's the best DUI lawyer out there for sure. I was charged with DUI and child endangerment and thought I would be convicted of at least a DUI if not the child endangerment as well. I thought I would lose my job too if I was c...onvicted. But lo and behold both charges were dismissed thanks to Mr. Lawson. I am thankful for Mr. Lawson getting me out of a very bad situation. Thanks again. You are the best!

Boating Under the Influence – Excellent Result

I was initially charged with Boating Under the Influence, Endangering a Child While Operating a Boat While Under the Influence and Failure to Display Registration Numbers on Boat. The result of my case was excellent in that I was charged with a reduction to Reckless Boating and Improper Tag. No jail ...time. Probation was terminated early.
