OUTSTANDING LAWYER

I initially contacted Mr. Lawson's firm about a terrible situation I was in. I was charged with DUI (Driving Under the Influence), DUI Child Endangerment and Failure to Maintain Lane. This would have been my 5th life time DUI but with the Child Endangerment DUI this would have been my 5th and 6th l...ife time DUI. Mr. Lawson answered all my questions and got me in touch with one of his associates immediately. His associate drove to Athens to meet me in person and to talk about my case. Mr. Lawson's firm negotiated an excellent outcome for my case. The DUI and DUI Child Endangerment were both dismissed as well as the Failure to Maintain Lane. I was charged with Reckless Driving ONLY. I could not believe this outcome. This was potentially my 5th and 6th life time DUI and his firm was still able to get the case reduced to just Reckless Driving. I received NO JAIL TIME, a fine and other conditions. An overall miracle outcome. I am still in shock. I thank Mr. Lawson for taking my call. He is the owner of the firm and HE PICKED UP THE PHONE IMMEDIATELY. I would never hesitate to hire his firm again or recommend his firm to anyone in need of a criminal defense attorney.

Good starting point.

In 2011, I needed help with an accused 2nd DUI/move over/speeding case in Franklin County. I called Mr. Lawson and after discussing my case and concerns, he suggested I speak with Kevin Fisher. Mr. Lawson was easy to talk with and his knowledge set my frustrations at ease . Over the next 2 years Mr.... Fisher has handled my case with a high level persistence that I needed. Mr. Fisher was able to get my case reduced to reckless driving plus a speed reduction. More importantly, I was able to avoid more jail time. I can't thank them both enough.

First DUI...Thank you again Richard Lawson!

I got my DUI 3 months ago, I can say that Richard Lawson has helped me more than I would expect from any attorney. He kept me driving and got me the minimum outcome. Every time I contacted him, his response time was instantaneous and every question was always clearly answered. I am extremely pleased... with the results.

Five Star DUI Attorney

I am an out of state resident and received a DUI while visiting Georgia. I hired Richard Lawson based on his reviews and he proved them all to be true. It has only been three months and my case is already settled. Richard got the DUI reduced to reckless driving, despite that it was my second offense.... Because the charge was reduced, my license is not suspended and I am able to put this behind me. In addition to being a great attorney, Richard also has great customer service. I always got a prompt response to my emails or calls and he would always call me to let me know of any new developments in my case. I would highly recommend Richard if you want the best possible outcome for your case. Thanks again!

The Dedicated Lawyer

When I was charged with DUI and Drug possession I knew I was in jeopardy of losing everything I valued in life. My job, family and life was on the lines of destruction. Mr. Lawson came to my aid. He gave me his personal cell number. He returned every voice mail, text message and answered the phone... during my case. His skillful lawyer tactics got me results that even I did not think possible. He believes in his clients even when dead to the wrong. He will work for you and he is genuine. I felt like my best friend was in my corner. He was able to get my DUI dismissed and reduced to reckless driving AND he also got my drug possession charge totally dropped!! Not to mention during this process I never lost my license and nor did I not have to serve any jail time even with a past criminal record. There is no doubt that Mr. Lawson will fight for you, even when the odds are against you. He communicated his every move to me and was very responsive, trustworthy and knowledgeable. The outcome of my case has given me a second chance. It has given my family a second chance. He has preserved everything that I value including my freedom. He has truly been the turning point in my life! Truly! Mr. Lawson thank you so much. May God continue to bless you and your family as you are definitely a blessing to a lot of lives. Your hard work and dedication will never be forgotten.
