Atlanta DUI Lawyer

Are you currently facing drunk driving charges?

If you have been arrested and charged with DUI in Atlanta or throughout Fulton County, the attorney you select to defend you in court is a critical decision. Most lawyers are "general practitioners" and take on DUI cases as a “sideline.” They do not have the experience or background required to launch a strong DUI defense. Some even take payment just to advise you to plead guilty. When you enlist the help of our firm, you will be getting legal support from a highly trained and dedicated Atlanta DUI lawyer that focuses exclusively on DUI defense.

Our founding attorney, Richard S. Lawson has a background as a former DUI prosecutor and has completed close to 100 jury trials and thousands of motions. As his focus is strictly on DUI defense, he has developed powerful resources to bring to the table in the defense of clients. These resources include top expert witnesses, doctors, investigators, and former law enforcement officers. The legal team understands the science behind the breath test, blood test, and other aspects of the science behind DUI arrests.
