Awesome Attorney

Georgia has a "DUI Less Safe" Law, and I was arrested with a prior DUI record. My result was a $215 Obstructed Tag fine. DUI case dismissed. Thank you Richard!

Wonderful Lawyer

I am so thankful that I chose Richard Lawson as my attorney. I was consumed with fear/anxiety and he kindly baby stepped me through everything. After continued calls he never got frustrated and always listened and was comforting. His expertise and experience helped to carry me through the whole daun...ting legal process. I was facing my second DUI in five years in Gwinnett County. With possible jail times up to 12 months for my offense, he was able to began negotiations with 60 days jail time. He was able to reduce this even further down to 7 1/2 days to greatly help accomodate my family needs. Words can not express my respect and thankfulness for the help and results he has given me. Not only has he amazed me by his fine legal help but I'm also thankful for the life changing organizations that he recommends. Due to this man's advice, for the first time in my life I have true security and a bright hope for the future.

Helped get my life back

I must say if you want a good lawyer I would recommend Richard. I had 4 lifetime DUI's three out of state and one in GA. With my history it looked bleek when I went to court ,I was facing 1 year in and probably wouldnt have a license for years. Richard went to work having the case moved to another co...urt and a more understanding judge, long story short the end result was nothing I could have dreamed of. I was able to keep my license (ristricted) and 5 days in custody. I also enrolled in a DUI program and I am moving on with my life being able to keep my job and my life. Through out the process Richard kept me informed and never tried to sugar coat anything . I have to say great job.

Richard Lawson is the best lawyer. He really saved me!

I would recommend Richard Lawson unreservedly. Richard was very patient, understanding and helped me comprehend the entire process and the very serious consequences that I was facing. He worked on my case tirelessly to get my DUI, Reckless Driving, and Improper Lane Change charges all thrown out! He... knows Georgia DUI law inside out- the system, the players in the different courts. Trust me, if you are facing a DUI charge in our state, this man is the one man you want by your side. Richard helped me change one of the most horrible experiences in my life into a true learning experience. Thank you Richard for giving me my life back.

Possession charges

Richard gave accurate and detailed information throughout the process. Excellent representation and has always been available to answer questions that have occasionally arisen even after probation was completed.
