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.
