I am very grateful for all the information Richard Lawson gave me regarding my legal needs. He listened to my situation and thought about my options thoroughly. He took the time to explain how things would work out in each scenario. Richard knows the law processes and made me feel confident. He is honest and realistic with how things typically work out in the legal system even with every case being different. I am thankful to have him on my side getting my back during these times.
