Thanks a lot Richard !!!

He is one of the best lawyers I have ever met. This was my 2nd DUI with a refusal and everything seems to be against me. But as he guided me though out the whole process and kept me well informed, finally the decision was that my charges got reduced to reckless. Thanks a lot Richard for working so ha...rd on my case. I was totally astonished on the court decision and how Mr. Lawson handled it.

Atlanta's Best

Thank you Richard Lawson. I have a prolific job that I travel extesively for, and Richard successfully settled my DUI case to a reckless driving. He was very professional, helpful, and does everything in his power to successfully settle your case. I would strongly recommend Richard to anyone. He i...s very knowledgeable, and has strong professional relationships within his field. Thanks for helping put my life back on track.

Richard Lawson exceeded all expectations

Richard initially set me up with one of his associates Kimberly berry. I could have not been happier with Kimberly. When it came to the day of my trial, Richard actually went out of his way to sit in with Kimberly during the negotiations. They negotiated a reduced sentence. I could have not beeen any... happier with the results.

Exceptional experience

Richard Lawson is by far the BEST Lawyer in Georgia. I was on my way home from Northern Georgia and heading to Central Florida. I was pulled over by the Georgia Highway Patrol for speeding and was eventually charged with DUI Refusal (2nd Time). While Speaking with Richard after I have been released f...rom jail it was around 10pm and Richard answered his phone the first time I called. We spoke about what had transpired and he also told me my options with me possibly hiring him. He was hired by the end our conversation. During the course of my case I never had to return to Georgia. By the end of my case Richard had gotten my DUI Refusal (2nd time) dismissed and reduced to Reckless Driving. In addition to this whenever I called or emailed Richard he would respond within an hour or less. I now am confident to recommend Richard to anyone that needs similar help while in the state of Georgia and lives out of state. C.F.

DUI Case

A little while ago I was charged with DUI. I was in a little town in Southern Georgia when this occurred. I live in Atlanta as this little place is about an hour away, so I was well away from where I am comfortable. I had a lot of offers from lawyers to take my case but Mr. Lawson had a great track r...ecord. I am a graduated nursing student to this DUI could have been a real killer to me. Mr Lawson isn't cheap but you get what you pay for. I decided to go with him as opposed to his associate, who I am sure would have done an outstanding job but I wasn't taking any chances. He always responded to my calls and emails quickly and professionally and did a very thorough job. Mr Lawson was able to get my DUI reduced to reckless driving and even though the court in that little town threw the book at me for my Reckless driving, I am more than happy with the results. S.H.
