Thorough and knowledgeable!

Mr. Lawson recently represented my 17 year old daughter. When I first contacted him, he called personally called back (instead of a receptionist), within a few hours. It only took that long as he was on a plane, and called as soon as he landed! Thru a lot of patience and hard work, he got the DUI re...duced to a first offender obstruction charge, as well as several others thrown out. During the months it took to get this resolved, he would keep in constanct contact and keep us apprised of the situation and meetings he had with the prosecutor. He did an awesome job!

Very pleased!!!

Mr. Lawson represented me on my DUI cases and was able to keep me out of jail and driving. I had 2 cases. He got one case changed to reckless driving which them allowed me a permit on my second case. This helped me keep my job and saved me from jail. Thank you Richard.

Jeff

Mr. Lawson is very responsive and knowledgeable. He worked nights and weekends to answer any questions I had. He went to several hearings ahead of my court date on my behalf and got great results. He was able to turn a very bad situation (2nd DUI) where I faced significant consequences into someth...ing that helped save my license, freedom, and job. You will be making a mistake if you do not choose Mr. Lawson to represent your DUI case.

Best outcome possible

In July of 2011, I was charged with my first DUI. Mr Lawson was able to have that charge completely dismissed. My blood test took 4 months to come back: and was .118; well over the limit. Having a valid drivers license is a requirement for my job. Losing the license would mean losing my job. Mr ...Lawson's first advice was to recommend that I go ahead and complete the requirements for the charge as if I were found guilty – completion of the DUI course, 80 hours of community service (even though the penalty for 1st time offense is 40 hours, Mr Lawson recommended that I get 80 hours) and an assessment to determine if I needed substance abuse counseling. Mr Lawson then talked to the prosecutor before the arraignment and was able to work out a deal that involved a fine and reduced the DUI charge to a city ordinance violation. Not only did I not lose my license - but nothing will show up on my driving record. During the wait for my BAC to come back, Mr Lawson was always available to answer any questions I had. The weekend before my arraignment, my wife and I were quite anxious. He was very patient and took calls from both me and my wife. Taking the time to answer the questions that we both had. Despite the fact that it was a weekend, he encouraged us to call him back at any time if we had more questions. I honestly believe that I could not have asked for better legal representation.
