Criminal defense

I was recently stopped and arrested. The arrest took place after dark and I was so afraid. I think the officers were offended because I deliberately kept my hands up and spoke slowly and clearly. Never being arrested before and not knowing where to turn, a friend recommended that I speak to Attorn...ey Lawson. He assured me that the worst part of this whole nightmare was behind me. He was very patient and allowed me to take all the time I needed. He to listened and explained the entire process in a manner that I could understand. He explained the worst possible outcome and how he thought the case will be resolved. I explained that I was unemployed and awaiting unemployment compensation. His fee was more affordable than other attorneys that I had spoken with and he devised a payment plan that I could meet. He was able to negotiate a fair settlement to my case. I would give him my highest recommendation and would refer him to my friends and family, if the need arises!

Highly Recommended Criminal Attorney

I hired Attorney Wellington Craig Lawson to stand for me and my family for a situation that could have turned out a completely different way if we did not have him. I have found out by having a Lawyer and not just “A LAWYER” but a Lawyer that shows compassion and care for his Clients and their situ...ations. He was one that Listens to you and will keep you Informed of every Step. My Son was cleared of a Felony that could have been on his record for the rest of his life. But Attorney Lawson had everything in place to let the State see the TRUE Case and because of this the State downgraded his charge to a mister-meaner. Throwing out the Felony charges. He (My Son) will be free of Probation/Court dates/ SOR “Everything.” My Son can now start his Life to a better start. I Commend Attorney Lawson for a Job well done and I Recommend him Highly if you’re looking for a Trustworthy Criminal Defense Lawyer. Also compared to some Lawyers his price is not bad and he will work with you. First I Thank GOD for putting him in our Direction.

Excellent Lawyer!!!

I was recently arrested for DUI and my father referred me to one of his friends. I had not been drinking and refused to give a breath sample. Mr. Lawson quoted me a very reasonable fee, much less than some of the other attorneys I spoke with. Before my first hearing, Mr. Lawson called saying the c...harges were dropped. I would highly recommend him to anyone needing a Criminal Defense Attorney.

"THE Calm During A Storm"

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.

Commendation

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
