If we cannot get your charges dismissed or reduced, we will proceed to trial.  Richard has developed relationships with some of the best DUI experts in Georgia.  He will bring them to the stand to testify in your case, challenging each piece of evidence the State tries to use to prove their case.

Richard Lawson is the number one ranked and reviewed attorney on AVVO, the attorney review site. His clients overwhelmingly agree that he is the best DUI defense lawyer in Georgia.

Richard and his team are Georgia's DUI-ONLY firm.

Our office exclusively handles DUI cases.  We are not "general practitioners" who routinely handle various types of cases.  DUI is all we do.  An effective DUI attorney must know the nuances of the law; the science of breath-testing, whether the field sobriety tests in your case were administered correctly, and whether there are legal and procedural defenses in your case.  Most general practice lawyers do not have the time or resources to keep up with all the changes in the laws and potential defenses to it.
