Last year I had the unfortunate situation where I found myself needing a criminal attorney. I had never had any incidents or occurrences with anything criminal in my entire life. Even though the situation was purely accidental, and I could have probably done a good job defending myself, I didn't wa...nt to take a chance with the criminal justice system. Being a professional African American female, I found myself with a lot to lose and very afraid of doing so. I remembered Mr. Lawson based on my observation of him and feedback from other Clients while working at the Courthouse. He was the first person who came to mind, and I do not regret my decision. Mr. Lawson was professional, courteous, respectful and very knowledgeable about the law in general and as it pertained to my particular case. He was also empathetic and understood the difficulty I experiencing, as well as all the array of emotions that resulted from this situation. After our initial consultation, I knew exactly what to expect and felt confident that I had made the right decision. Mr. Lawson devised a payment plan that was reasonable and utilized both patience and etiquette in this area of his practice. All throughout the process, Mr. Lawson kept his word and did what he said he was going to do. Mr. Lawson also followed up on all communication and kept me in the loop always. Mr. Lawson is respected amongst his peers as well as those who work within the court system. Because of his diligence and willingness to see the best possible outcome, my case was subsequently dismissed; which is the outcome Mr. Lawson had set out to accomplish. Also, I felt as though I had regained control of my life again, which met so much to me. I felt very proud as an African American with Mr. Lawson representing me; and I also felt safe. I felt the entire time that Mr. Lawson had my best interest at hand, and for that I will always respect and appreciate him as a human being and as an attorney. I am happy and willing to recommend Mr. Lawson to anyone reading this review; you will find that he is a champion of ALL people and work to seek the best possible outcome for YOU. When I say that Mr. Lawson is the "THE Calm During A Storm," he truly exemplified this phrase to me.

I will highly recommend Craig Lawson. For the first time in life I found myself needing a criminal defense attorney for my son, it was a horrible experience that I don't wish on anyone, however having made to the other side I am glad that Craig was there to answer questions and lead us in the right d...irection. Craig gave me more information than I could take in at one time but so was so kind to make sure that I understood each step the courts took and what steps we were taking to make it right. In the end Craig was able to work a deal where the charges were dropped. It was my sons bad decision that caused us to need this type of service but I am glad I had Craig's help to clear up the "situation". His knowledge and patience was greatly appreciated by the entire family. We are looking forward to my son's leave date for Army basis training at the end of September. Good things can come from a bad situation with the right help. Once you make your decision to hire an attorney and you pick Mr. Lawson, I am sure he will do his best to help you understand what is happening and get to the other side as well.

Over the past two years I have had the pleasure of working with Mr. Craig Lawson with cases for my son. The first impression I got was his pleasant and caring demeanor. Mr. Lawson spoke to my son as if my son was a close relative of his. He was very firm but kind. I was never in a position to meet ...with a "criminal attorney" hence I was very distressed. The minute I sat in Mr. Lawson's office I realized that I could easily talk to this gentleman. He fostered a relaxed environment and allowed me to express my disappointment with the alleged charges of my son. I was fearful of the costs , however, Mr. Lawson provided a very reasonable payment plan which was within my budget. He was always on time for court appearances which was admirable. He kept us abreast of possible outcomes, however, thanks to God and Craig Lawson we are thankful for the outcome. I sincerely wish we had other attorneys who approach their responsibilities with such integrity and professionalism. Dr. Maxine James-Francis
