Lawson and Berry are ONLY a Georgia Criminal Defense Firm

While every lawyer has to go to law school and pass the bar, that does not mean they are all experienced with criminal law. Numerous law firms practice all types of law but do not specialize in any. Do not trust your case to an attorney who is a general practitioner and occasionally handles criminal cases. Furthermore, most general practice lawyers do not have the time or resources to keep up with all the changes in the laws and potential defense. But since we only practice criminal defense, we have the time! We manage a blog that is updated multiple times a week with new cases, recent changes in the laws, or recent news on criminal law. We also have a resource page that provides links to websites that have invaluable information about criminal law. Lawson and Berry are your ultimate resources though for criminal defense. There is no case they cannot handle and they are here to answer your every question. 

We are familiar with every defense that could be used to support your case. Some of the defenses can be litigated before trial which may lead to a dismissal of all of your charges before you even step foot into a courtroom. There are numerous strategies we can employ to help defend your case and we tailor each defense specifically to our client. We will work with you every step of the way because we know exactly how the criminal justice system works and how to make it work for you.
