Hiring a DeKalb County DUI Attorney

DeKalb County police officers aggressively write DUI charges.  In a typical scenario, a DeKalb County officer will pull over a vehicle, question the driver, administer field sobriety tests and breath or blood test, and the driver will spend the night in jail before bonding out about 10-12 hours later. 

Unfortunately, in a DUI case, the clock is then ticking to save your drivers license.  You have only 30 days to get an appeal letter mailed to the Department of Drivers Services.  You may also have a court date set not too far in the future.  You must act quickly and contact a DUI lawyer as soon as possible. 

But what should you look for in a DUI lawyer?   DeKalb DUI attorney Richard Lawson can get your case the best possible outcome.  Mr. Lawson only handles DUI related cases.  That means he is up to date on the legal developments in DUI law.  He also has vast experience with the science behind a DUI concerning the breath and blood tests.  In addition, he knows how the officers should be trained and can impeach them if they stray from the standard procedure.  Other attorneys maintain more general practices and while they handle DUIs, unlike Mr. Lawson, they do not specialize in them. 

In addition, Mr. Lawson is an experienced and accomplished trial attorney.  He will contest your case and fight for you through a jury trial.  Ask your prospective lawyer about his or her trial experience.
