Don't trust anyone else!

In 2006, I was charged with a DUI and was terrified. I didn't know what to do or who to listen too. I got all the brochures in the mail and interviewed four different lawyers. There was something about the way Richard spoke to me. I knew I could trust him. I decided to put the future of my life ...in his hands and retain him as my lawyer. It was the best decision I made! The process was very long. In my case, almost 4 years. He was there every step of the way! He always answered the phone or called me right back. He explained everything to me and didn't leave any questions unanswered. He made sure I understood what was going on and about to happen. I was scared, but at least I knew what to expect and wasn't surprised. In a difficult time where I felt all alone, he made me feel like I wasn't and that there was hope. Ultimately, he got my charges reduced to reckless driving. You are not going to lose with him on your side! He will go the extra mile and is always fighting for you! I have and will keep recommending him to friends in similar situations.

Lucky to have Richard

Mr. Lawson represented me over 10 years ago with an outcome that went from a DUI to a Reckless driving charge. There were multiple circumstances surrounding my case and due to a technicality he was able to have it reduced. Although it has been sometime since the incident I was in need of information... which I thought had been long gone and upon my calling Richard he was able to recollect my case and able to provide me with all information pertaining to my case. Richard is a fantastic attorney who works your case with total professionalism and with results that will ease the tension due to your charges. Clearly I highly recommend Richard Lawson.

2ND DUI WITH ACCIDENT AND INJURIES

I had a 2nd DUI and a serious accident was involved. Mr Lawson was able to keep me out of jail except for the minimun time required. He was also able to save my driving license. He was always available to be reached to answer my questions and concerns. BB

Life saver

Mr.Lawson was professional and attentive throughout the whole process. He calmed me immediately and kept me at ease all the way through. He was able to keep me from serving any jail time, I was able to continue driving, and I had no probation. I couldn't ask for better results. He is available to you... 24/7 just like he says which is very unusual for an attorney. I would recommend Richard to anyone facing this situation. He truly is a gem. There is no one better in my opinion. Thank you Richard you truly are a life saver!!!!

Extremely Pleased With DUI Lawyer Richard Lawson

Highly recommend Richard Lawson. In exchange for my pleading guilty to DUI he got the other charges dropped: (1) Driving with an unlawful alcohol level; (2) Following too closely; and (3) Open container. And no jail time or license suspension--just one-year probation, community service, fines etc. He... gave me my life back!
