"Joe and I sat opposite on a financing recently. Rarely have I had the opportunity to work across from someone as consummately professional as Joe. He is at once an aggressive advocate for his clients, a savvy business mind, a great technician and most importantly a nice person. I especially appreciated his well developed commercial sensibilities and his ability to consistently find common ground in negotiation. I give Joe my unqualified recommendation."

The clients speak highly of Mr. Lucosky, and I can tell why. I endorse Mr. Lucosky whole-heartedly."

"I have had the pleasure of knowing and working with Joseph Lucosky on multiple matters including most recently on a complicated securities/lending matter. He is a passionate advocate for his clients and one of the hardest working attorneys I know. He will negotiate a the best possible deal for his clients no matter how large or small the matter, but he also knows when to “put his pencil down†and get a deal closed. He is well known and well respected by his fellow members of the corporate and securities bar. I endorse Joseph Lucosky without reservation."
