Cobb County Georgia DUI Lawyer

If you face a DUI in Cobb County, it is important that you understand Georgia DUI law and that you act immediately to make sure you don't lose important rights and miss important deadlines.

LawsonLogoToo many people who are arrested for impaired driving in Cobb County plead guilty without realizing that your arrest does not always mean that you are guilty or will be found guilty. You have the right to a top-notch defense, and the right to understand all of your options before making any life-altering decisions in your case. The single most important decision you will make in your Cobb County DUI case is which lawyer to hire to represent you in court. You should realize that many attorneys dabble in DUI cases, and some see your case as easy money if they simply advise you to plead guilty.

It is important to realize the difference between a general practitioner with limited experience defending Georgia DUI charges, and an attorney who focuses exclusively on DUI defense and has extensive experience and training.

Cobb County DUI Attorney Richard Lawson focuses his practice on the defense of DUI and related charges in Georgia. He has the training and experience (see his credentials below), along with working relationships with top expert witnesses, medical doctors, investigators, former police officers and former prosecutors. He personally oversees every aspect of your case and seeks out the best forensic help from his network of DUI experts to make sure that all of the legal and scientific aspects of your case are handled in a professional, accurate and timely manner.

Mr. Lawson will give you a free initial case review where he will give you guidance based on the specific facts of your case and your personal and professional history. Together you will review your goals and concerns and make sure that from that point forward, all the right moves are made in your case. Use the form on this page or call right now to schedule your consultation.

About Cobb County DUI Attorney Richard Lawson

Mr. Lawson focuses his practice on Georgia drunk driving defense, including Cobb County DUI law.

prosecutorcertificatethumbFormer Prosecutor: Richard trained and worked as a prosecutor in the roles of Assistant District Attorney and Assistant Solicitor General. During that time he received the same training as the DAs who will be prosecuting your Cobb County DUI case. This gives him an edge because he knows what is in their playbook.

nhtsathumbField Sobriety Test Training: Although Field Sobriety Testing has proven to be inaccurate, Georgia police agencies still use it as a basis for arrest. As a result, Mr. Lawson knew that it was important to be at least as educated on the tests as the officers who use them in the field. Therefore, he went through the same training that police receive on the Standardized Field Sobriety Tests and is a certified field sobriety test instructor, meaning that he is qualified to teach police officers how to administer and grade the field tests given in Georgia DUI cases in Cobb County.
