Fulton County Georgia DUI Lawyer

If you face a DUI in Fulton 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.

Too many people who are arrested for impaired driving in Fulton 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 Fulton 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.

About Fulton County DUI Attorney Richard Lawson

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

Former 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 Fulton County DUI case. This gives him an edge because he knows what is in their playbook.

Field 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 Fulton County.
