Richard Lawson saved my reputation and my future.

Richard Lawson was able to have my DUI charge reduced to Reckless Driving! I am beyond pleased with his work and he truly does work 24/7. All my calls were returned promptly and I was kept advised throughout the process. In addition to being an excellent attorney, Richard has a team of experts comp...rised of knowledgeable and experienced former law enforcement officers and Board Certified Toxicologist looking at all aspects of the case. From the moment I met Mr. Lawson, I felt comforted to know he was the right attorney for the job. I am so thankful I made the decision to hire Mr. Lawson because he really came through for me; beginning, middle and especially the end! Thank You

Excellent Representation!

I was charged with 2nd degree vehicular homicide when Richard was recommended to me. I will say that with my type of case Richard knew exactly what to do and where to start. Richard was always quick to respond to any question I may have had and was always very straight forward and honest with me. In ...the end I did not end up with any jail time and Richard was able to get me the best possible outcome. I would highly recommend Richard to anyone.

Very happy Client

I was stopped at a DUI Check Point/Road Block and was arrested for DUI. I contact Mr. Lawson's office immediately. He helped me with all of my questions. Mr. Lawson got me in touch with one of his associates with no hesitation. He made me feel I was in good hands as he was very knowledgeable and ...very understanding. Thank you Mr. Lawson.

Just saying Thank You!!

I was stupid enough to think I could drink and drive and not get caught or hurt myself or someone else, again! I received my 4th lifetime DUI. I talked to a few other attorney's who made promises of what they could do. I then contacted and hired Richard Lawson to represent me in my case. I did not... know what the outcome would be but fully expected to go to jail for at least a year, lose my job, home, relationships, driver license, etc. I had been very stressed out over my situation and the potential outcome. Mr. Lawson made no promises other than to look after my best interest. He always responded to me promptly in emails and phone calls. He was able to help me attend my daughter's graduation, handle my work travel, etc., before my arraignment. Mr. Lawson was able to keep me from a prolonged jail sentence, I was able to keep my job, My Driver License and the other things I needed and valued. Obtaining Mr. Lawson's services for me was priceless. -MT

Better than I could have hoped for

I was charged with public drunkenness when I decided to walk home from a bar. As I was in the military and studying for the bar exam, it could have had a serious impact on my future. Richard was my initial contact with his law firm, called me before any of the other attorneys I'd queried for assistan...ce replied at all. He worked around his usual payment structure to accommodate my situation. His response time on phone calls and emails was immediate, and he never let a question I had go unanswered.
