Choosing a DUI Lawyer in Georgia

Choosing a DUI Lawyer in Georgia - Choosing a DUI Attorney in Georgia

After an arrest for DUI you may be bombarded with information and solicitations from Georgia DUI defense lawyers. Choosing the right team can be stressful, frustrating, and confusing. Many people's DUI charges are their only encounter with law enforcement and they know very little about how to obtain the best Georgia DUI defense counsel. Georgia law is unique. You need someone trained in the latest DUI defense tactics.

Experience, Training, Dedication, and Customer Service is the Difference:

Experience that Matters:

Georgia DUI Attorney Richard Lawson is a Former Georgia DUI Prosecutor, trained by the same people who are prosecuting the case against you. For more than 25 years he has defended DUI cases throughout Metro Atlanta and throughout North Georgia. If handing DUI cases were easy, anyone could do it. However, too many attorneys dabble in DUI Defense without having the skills necessary to truly defend DUI cases in Georgia. Hire the Georgia DUI Attorneys that focus their entire practice on Georgia DUI Defense.

The most important factor in finding a Georgia DUI attorney is finding adequate experience in DUI law. Many lawyers take DUI cases, but general practitioners who take all types of cases may not know the ins and outs of DUI law. There are also lawyers who are exclusively criminal defense lawyers, but usually focus on high profile crimes such as drug crimes or murder charges. While these lawyers may have background knowledge in DUI law, they do not have the insight or reputation of a specialized DUI lawyer.

The Right Training for the Job:

You should be wary of general lawyers if you have a serious Georgia DUI case such as being a repeat offender or have injured someone while being accused of being DUI. General practitioners are not equipped to handle DUI cased that involved the infliction of serious bodily injury on others. Only a specialist can handle difficult cases that involve injuries or involve multiple prior DUI offenses. All of our attorneys are trained in breath testing and field sobriety testing. Richard Lawson is trained as a Standardized Field Sobriety Testing Instructor. He is qualified to teach field sobriety testing to police officers.

Dedication to Your Defense:

Hiring the wrong lawyer can result in having someone that may not be equipped to handle the complexities of such DUI cases, and you may end up suffering the consequences. Attorney Richard S. Lawson specializes in DUI law only and related cases that are associated with DUI. With 25 plus years' of history negotiating the intricacies of DUI cases, he understands Georgia DUI laws and procedures. In addition, he also regularly works with various Georgia DUI experts in order to gain insight into areas like toxicology levels in the blood and other such information which he will use to help defend his clients.
