MIRACLE WORKER!!!!

Richard Lawson is a MIRACLE WORKER!!! I have multiple, multiple DUI’s on my record. I was really worried about my case and keeping my job. Mr. Lawson was a godsend from Day 1: - He answered my initial call on a Saturday evening. - He returned every call thereafter, answered every email and every ...question…usually within the same day and even on weekends. During the whole process he was bar-none the best attorney that I have ever retained or heard of anyone retaining. That’s not the best part of this – the best part is that he got me a sentence that was completely unheard of, even for a first or second time offense!!! I’m literally still in shock at how great my situation turned out!!! A couple of words that come to mind with Richard Lawson: brilliant, professional, determined, reliable, courteous and truly in a league of his own. If you are facing a DUI – there is absolutely no other attorney that you should retain. You will not be sorry. - AS

Classy Lawyer for a Classy citizens

I was arrested for a Dui, blew a .19 after being taken back to the station, and had been quite belligerent with the Georgia Nighthawk DUI task force officer. Mr. Lawson was able to avoid all jail time and had me placed on Probation for 12 months along with certain conditions I had to complete. I'm pr...etty sure because of him, I was accepted to UGA Law School, University of Florida Law School, and University of Alabama Law School this past year. While I didn't accept at any of the schools, I will be apply to the schools of Mr. Lawson's caliber like Emory, Columbia, and NYU and hopefully get in one day. Thank You Mr. Lawson for providing me with the tunnel of hope. I have/will recommend Mr. Lawson for any DUI case for my friends and family.

Integrity

Unfortunately, I got myself in what I call big trouble. Four tickets, a DUI being one of them, I actually deserved this DUI after an evening out with the girls when someone started us on shots of tequila. I was quite intoxicated, to the point it did not register that I should drive. An accident ens...ued. If you read the mandatory guidelines for sentencing, I was facing big trouble and jail time. Richard was able to get three of the four tickets dismissed, and I was sentenced to the minimum requirements. His relationships to the judge, the arresting officer and knowledge of the law is extremely helpful in dealing with the courts. He communicates thoroughly and responds promptly. I would recommend him to anyone who is charge with a DUI offense.

DUI case

Richard Lawson is the best. He responded to me immediately after my initial call. He made me feel very much at ease explaining what I could expect. He kept in touch with me and advised me consistantly during the time prior to my court date. Because of Mr. Lawson I was able to keep my drivers license ...and did not have to serve jail time. Thanks Richard.

Mr. Richard Lawson was amazing!!

I would definitely refer Mr. Lawson to anyone that is seeking counsel for a DUI. Unfortunately, I got a DUI and a child endangerment charge. I thought for certain that I would have received jail time, lost my license, or both. Mr. Lawson got me a far greater deal than I had ever expected. The child e...ndangerment was reduced to reckless driving, and my license has been restricted for only four months. After which, it will be completely reinstated. I appreciate more than words can express how professional and effective Mr. Lawson was.
