James D. Lukowiak

My divorce case took much longer than anticipated—nearly three years—but it was also extremely complicated. Jim helped me navigate unfamiliar and challenging territory, including DCF involvement, restraining orders, and court clinic reports. After disappointing consultations with several other attorn...eys, I knew I needed a seasoned professional who would fight for what I deserved, especially knowing the case would get messy. As a victim of domestic violence, I needed someone who would prioritize safety and advocacy. Jim consistently protected both me and my son, and he showed up for my restraining order hearing when it mattered most. Throughout the entire process, I always felt he had my back and my best interests at heart. He made sure I was always prepared and understood what to expect, which gave me confidence during a very stressful time. He doesn’t sugarcoat things, but I appreciated his honesty and straightforward advice—it helped me make informed decisions and stay focused on the bigger picture. We ultimately reached a settlement right before trial, and I truly believe his preparation, strategy, and advocacy positioned me for that outcome. During a very emotional time, both Jim and Margaret were voices of reason. They were responsive, supportive, and professional every step of the way. I highly recommend Jim and Margaret to anyone facing a complex divorce, especially where custody, safety concerns, or high-conflict issues are involved. If you want experienced professionals who will advocate for you, protect your interests, and guide you with clarity and compassion, you will be in excellent hands.

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!!

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!!!!!!

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.

Jim helped me with a child custody case, which we won. Being the father, sometimes you feel the deck is stacked against you. I always felt like I was being advised to "take the high road", but Jim had a different course of action. With everything he told me, I knew he had my best interest at heart an...d more importantly, my child's as well. I would advise anyone seeking legal action to understand that the wheel of justice are slow and sometime what seems like a monumental problem tends to be a small bump in the road. Jim helped me maintain perspective along the way, which helped immensely since going to court is a very stressful event. Since our case has completed, we know there are still going to minor hiccups throughout our life, Jim has ensured that he will always have my back, even on little things. Sometime when you choose an attorney, your are putting your life in their hands, I trusted Jim and will continue to trust his word and judgement.
