I was very pleased with Mr Lawson’s business practices as I had to use his services recently. He was professional, yet down to earth in keeping me abreast of the proceedings at hand. I would highly recommend Mr Lawson for your legal needs.

I was recently arrested and a friend referred me to Mr. Lawson. I was so nervous about being arrested, Mr. Lawson put me at ease and was able to assure me that I wouldnt go to jail. He was cool to speak with, for an old guy. He charged me a fair price and allowed me to make monthly payments, which really helped me a lot. When he got involved, he sent a letter to the Prosecutor and before I knew it, the charges were reduced from a Felony to a Misdemeanor. He was able to negotiate a Diversion Program for me and has since gotten the charges dropped.

You couldn't ask for a better attorney. He brings to the table not only his legal expertise but kindness and emotional support to his clients. My family is truly blessed to have Craig Lawson represent us.
Our 17 year old, son was charged with two counts of Robbery with a Firearm and faced at least 10 years prison, under the 10 – 20 – Life Law. A very dear friend referred us to Mr. Lawson. This was the best money I have ever spent! He was not as expensive as some of the other attorneys. He did not try and frighten us into hiring him, as some attorneys did. Mr. Lawson was calm, patient and very responsive to all our questions. The police had eye witnesses, finger prints, a palm print and phone records. Facing all of that, my son was sentenced to 4 years probation and house arrest for 1 year. We are so thankful to our friend for recommending Mr. Lawson.

I was recently arrested for DUI and my father referred me to one of his friends. I had not been drinking and refused to give a breath sample. Mr. Lawson quoted me a very reasonable fee, much less than some of the other attorneys I spoke with. Before my first hearing, Mr. Lawson called saying the charges were dropped. I would recommend him to anyone needing a Criminal Defense Attorney.

Life does not always go as planned... Sometimes we find ourselves in very compromised positions because of one simple choice that leads us to a dead end when it comes to the law. Last year i found myself at that dead end due to a felony drug charge and i felt scared and helpless because all i knew was what i saw written on paper. I was referred to Craig by a good friend and upon our first phone conversation i went from feeling miserably helpless, to feeling truly safe and confident that Craig was going to do his very best to make sure that everything ended up okay and i would be able to resume my life without it drastically changing. I hung up the phone knowing i had someone on my side that had an incredible background and was well equipped with the knowledge to navigate the system and explain it honestly and transparently. I have so much gratitude for what an impact Craig has made in my life and would recommend him to ANYONE that would like to find peace of mind and put their trust in the hands of someone who wants you to have a successful life.

Awesome Attorney!! He was very informative and stayed on top of everything for us. He made us feel like we were VIP's. If I ever have the misfortune to need an Attorney again Craig Lawson will be the first and only one to call.

Last year I had the unfortunate situation where I found myself needing a criminal attorney. I had never had any incidents or occurrences with anything criminal in my entire life. Even though the situation was purely accidental, and I could have probably done a good job defending myself, I didn't want to take a chance with the criminal justice system. Being a professional African American female, I found myself with a lot to lose and very afraid of doing so. I remembered Mr. Lawson based on my observation of him and feedback from other Clients while working at the Courthouse. He was the first person who came to mind, and I do not regret my decision.
Mr. Lawson was professional, courteous, respectful and very knowledgeable about the law in general and as it pertained to my particular case. He was also empathetic and understood the difficulty I experiencing, as well as all the array of emotions that resulted from this situation. After our initial consultation, I knew exactly what to expect and felt confident that I had made the right decision. Mr. Lawson devised a payment plan that was reasonable and utilized both patience and etiquette in this area of his practice. All throughout the process, Mr. Lawson kept his word and did what he said he was going to do. Mr. Lawson also followed up on all communication and kept me in the loop always. Mr. Lawson is respected amongst his peers as well as those who work within the court system.
Because of his diligence and willingness to see the best possible outcome, my case was subsequently dismissed; which is the outcome Mr. Lawson had set out to accomplish. Also, I felt as though I had regained control of my life again, which met so much to me. I felt very proud as an African American with Mr. Lawson representing me; and I also felt safe. I felt the entire time that Mr. Lawson had my best interest at hand, and for that I will always respect and appreciate him as a human being and as an attorney. I am happy and willing to recommend Mr. Lawson to anyone reading this review; you will find that he is a champion of ALL people and work to seek the best possible outcome for YOU.

I will highly recommend Craig Lawson. For the first time in life I found myself needing a criminal defense attorney for my son, it was a horrible experience that I don't wish on anyone, however having made to the other side I am glad that Craig was there to answer questions and lead us in the right direction. Craig gave me more information than I could take in at one time but so was so kind to make sure that I understood each step the courts took and what steps we were taking to make it right. In the end Craig was able to work a deal where the charges were dropped. It was my sons bad decision that caused us to need this type of service but I am glad I had Craig's help to clear up the "situation". His knowledge and patience was greatly appreciated by the entire family. We are looking forward to my son's leave date for Army basis training at the end of September. Good things can come from a bad situation with the right help. Once you make your decision to hire an attorney and you pick Mr. Lawson, I am sure he will do his best to help you understand what is happening and get to the other side as well.

Attorney Lawson is very professional and his ethics and integrity speaks for itself. Mr. Lawson is respected by his community and peers. He takes the time to provide detailed information to his clients and makes every effort to ensure they make an informed decision.
We all have choices and know the difference between right and wrong. Why is it that people who break the law don't want to take responsibility for their actions and blame everyone EXCEPT themselves? It's the policeman's fault, it's the attorney's fault, it's the judge's fault. If you are not wise enough to learn from your mistake(s) you'll repeat it and will always be "in the system" and need an attorney!

While visiting home on summer vacation from college, I decided to hand out with some of my childhood friends. We decided to head down to Miami and enjoy the night, being the most responsible and not consuming any alcoholic beverages that night I was the designated driver to get us home that morning. While traveling back on I-95 our car was stopped for speeding by FHP. The officer declared he smelled marijuana and radioed for backup as well as PBSO K-9 unit. All occupants were removed and the car was thoroughly searched and the officer informed me that cocaine was found in the vehicle and I alone would be arrested and charged with position of cocaine, and carrying a concealed firearm(I a CWP holder). Knowing I had so much to lose and would be graduating in December of that year, I was referred to Mr. Lawson. He got involved immediately and was able to keep the State Attorney from actually filing the charges. He then had the records of my arrest expunged. Mr. Lawson is an excellent attorney and I highly recommend him to both YOU or anyone I know in a legal bind!

Over the past two years I have had the pleasure of working with Mr. Craig Lawson with cases for my son. The first impression I got was his pleasant and caring demeanor. Mr. Lawson spoke to my son as if my son was a close relative of his. He was very firm but kind. I was never in a position to meet with a "criminal attorney" hence I was very distressed. The minute I sat in Mr. Lawson's office I realized that I could easily talk to this gentleman. He fostered a relaxed environment and allowed me to express my disappointment with the alleged charges of my son. Mr. Lawson has taken time to call and check on my son and always gives an encouraging word. His interests in the well-being of our son is vey impressive. He sees the good in everyone and speaks to my son as if he was his own child . I have high regard and respect for Mr. Lawson and would not hesitate to recommend him to someone who needs his service. I was fearful of the costs , however, Mr. Lawson provided a very reasonable payment plan which was within my budget. He was always on time for court appearances which was admirable. He kept us abreast of possible outcomes, however, thanks to God and Craig Lawson we are thankful for the outcome. I sincerely wish we had other attorneys who approach their responsibilities with such integrity and professionalism. Dr. Maxine James-Francis
