The best attorney out there!

Mr. Lukowiak is the best attorney out there. He is very knowledgeable, compassionate, but with a bull dog personality. He will fight for you till the end, no matter how difficult. I had the pleasure of working with him for a couple of years and he got me everything I wanted/deserved and more. Sometim...es that is not the case for everyone but Mr. Lukowiak was determined to get me to the finish line. He took on my messy case mid-term after my prior attorney was not equipped to fight this battle. He fought hard with the evidence, stood up against my narcissitic ex husband, and made sure my voice was heard. I highly recommend Jim and his paralegal Margaret without hesitation. Because of them, I got my life back. I am finally thriving and no longer need to fear the unknown. I have already referred a friend and he is helping her as he helped me. Please give him a try, you will not be disappointed.

Thank You Jim!!

I've had the pleasure to work with Jim over the past year in a custody dispute, that felt like it would never end. Jim is an amazing lawyer and fought for everything I asked for. Dad is no longer involved and we only had to appear in family court once. Jim would make sure his cell phone was on and n...ear during some of the most difficult exchanges of the children, he gave me some great advice and helped me through some difficult times. I am forever grateful to have had him in my corner and highly recommend him to anyone that wants to win. Thank You Jim!!

I finally saw the light at the end of the tunnel!

Where do I begin... I was so ready to give up on everything and just hand my son over to my ex-which I know/knew was the stupidest thing I could have ever done in my life. I was so exhausted by the lies, the taunting, the horrible comments etc. constantly being spewed at me by my ex. It was as if, I ...was fighting this unbeatable monster in and outside of court, I was ready to give up, even with me being a fighter-and never giving up easily anything!!! But, at that time, I was mentally drained. My family and friends kept saying, "hire a lawyer!" initially- I didn't want to, but I knew if I didn't- I could lose my son to my ex with all the lies he constantly told. So, I went on Google, and googled-child support lawyer....and James Lukowiak aka Jim "popped up"- like neon green lights. I decided to reach out to him for a consultation. While at the consultation it was nothing, but good vibes. Jim listened to every single detail during the consultation, and I finally felt like someone understood my dilemma...someone understood the monster I was facing and was willing to stick it out with me and help me through the most difficult situation in my life. Jim was by my side EVERY STEP OF THE WAY for the last 2 years, and I am so, so, so grateful for him and Meg ;-). Two years ago- I sat in the consultation with Jim and said, "I want full custody of my son and I want my ex to be exposed for the person he really is". Two weeks ago, my ex finally decided to sign his rights over to me giving me full custody and physical custody of our son. Jim is a great listener and he knows THIS game. I am immensely grateful for running into this guy, and watching how he works,the dedication he has for his clients is fantastic. I must say, I learned a smidge of the game while working with him. Jim helped me see the light at the end of the tunnel, and for that-I am thankful. THANK YOU JIM!!!!!!

a good fighter

James is a very nice lawyer. He spent hours with me during the initial free consultation. I met with many lawyers in this area and none of them would spend much time with you during the initial free consultation. Actually, one lawyer tried to charge me for an extra 10 minutes after the first half hou...r free consultation. He knows the many details of your case because he is a very good listener. He has much experience in family law and thinks outside of the box. He pointed out several good arguments and strategies for my case that I did not think of, although I spent hours thinking every day. Most lawyers will ask me what I want them to say in court, but James is not one of them. He finds valid and strong arguments for my case. Without his expertise, I could have ended up signing an unfair agreement with my unreasonable ex and opposing counsel. If unfortunately, I have to go to court again, although I hope I don’t have to, I definitely want to keep this fighter on my side.

Highly Recommend

I am so thankful that a friend recommended James Lukowiak. He helped explain the divorce process and spent several hours with me in a free consultation before I decided to hire him. Having Jim advocate on my behalf made this process easier and less stressful; I knew he had my best interest at heart.... He listened to what I wanted and helped me negotiate a fair settlement. I have already recommended him to friends who need legal advice & representation in divorce & custody matters. I am very happy I had Jim to represent me and support me this past year.
