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.

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.

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.

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.

I can highly, highly recommend Jim to anyone! I have had him guide me through what has certainly been the most difficult time of my life. With an angry, vengeful ex-husband Jim had my back each and every time the chaos erupted. He never once let me feel that I was not going to come out on top. He wa...s an amazing support through the entire process and continues to be a major part of of why I retained my sanity.
