Review of Richard Lawson

He did an excellent job of fighting my case and keeping me out of trouble. I would recommend him to anyone I know.

DUI reduced to Reckless Driving

I chose Mr. Lawson based on a referral. My case was tricky because of a blemished criminal record (drug charge) and driving record (unrelated to DUI). I was charged with speeding, failure to maintain lane, open container, and DUI (breath refusal). Mr. Lawson negotiated and fought hard to get my drive...rs license back and reduce the charges to just reckless and open container. I am extremely pleased with the outcome. THANK YOU to Mr. Lawson!

DUI Charges Reduced

My son was arrested recently for DUI. Whereas he failed the sobriety test in the field (not admissible), a follow-up sobriety test (admissible) was never conducted. Mr. Lawson's keen legal eye and knowledge identified this discrepancy and lack of following proper procedure and used it to convince the... court to reduce the charge to reckless driving. His action saved my son's driver's license from suspension and having a DUI permanently on his record. We are very grateful for Mr.Lawson's attention to detail and legal expertise which singularly was the reason for a much more positive outcome compared to what it could have been. Thanks again, Mr. Lawson.
