DUI Dismissal

Mr. Lawson provided outstanding service, and was able to obtain a dismissal of my DUI charge. He patiently guided me through each step and responded to my calls and e-mails quickly and efficiently. I was very impressed with the quality of his work and the outcome he obtained.

Very Helpful

My son recently had two cases that Mr. Lawson agreed to help us with. One was a DWI and the other possesion of less then an ounce of marijuana. We were very anxious that our 17 year old son would end up having to spend some time in jail because of the two charges. Mr. Lawson was able to work with ...the prosecutor and get our son probation, community service along with treatment classes. We felt grateful that he recieved no jail time and that his punishment was fair. Mr. Lawson was great to work with, he always gave us his undivided attention and took all of our concerns seriously.

Richard Lawson, Real Pro

I am 62 years old and was arrested for DUI at 2AM. After never having been in any trouble, I was scared. I researched online and found Richard later that same day and he immediately called me back. After talking to Richard, my wife and I felt a great sense of relief and calm. Richard handled my DU...I in an extremely professional way by keeping me informed during the entire process. The outcome at trial was fanstactic, I received a 'Reckless Driving' charge, no DUI, just 'Reckless Driving'. Thank you very much Richard. I would definitely recommend him. Bernard

Extremely Helpful

Richard Lawson was extremely helpful in my case. He contacted me a day after my charge through the recommendation of a friend, and quickly addressed my issues and provided great legal advice before any payment was even discussed. He gave me a great direction to follow and it certainly paid off for me... in the end. His warm and confident personality put my mind at ease in a time of great duress, and I can honestly say that him contacting me was the best thing that could have happened to me after my incident occurred.

Richard came through

I was devastated and scared to death when I received a DUI in Lawrenceville. I refused the breath test at the jail, so not only faced the DUI charge, but my license was revoked for a year. How could I work without a driver’s license? We released our first attorney because he would not return phone... calls. Richard was very responsive, and walked us through each step answering all our questions. The results were amazing. The DUI was reduced to reckless driving. The DDS hearing was dismissed with a full reinstatement of my driver’s license. Richard was even able to get two other driving charges dropped, so those points would not be on my record, and finally, was able to get probation waived. That was huge. Again, I was afraid I would lose my job if I had to take time off to get to a probation visit once a month. I would recommend Richard Lawson to anyone that asks. His customer service and results was top notch. RH
