Very Honest

I called this firm looking for an attorney. Mr. Luke took my call and spent nearly an hour listening to me ramble on about my issue. Ultimately I did not file a lawsuit because after listening to Mr. Luke explain the law it was clear that there was a gap between what happened and what was actually ...actionable. I cannot believe that he took that much time to listen to me for FREE. I can only imagine how active he would be if I actually sued. He clearly knows what he is doing and would recommend him to anyone looking to bring an employment lawsuit.

Highly Recommend!

From the consultation to the process - John was first in class! My husband and I were faced with a difficult situation, right after being married - and John was able to advise and assist us flawlessly. I appreciated the time he took to really understand our case as well as his business acumen and i...ntuitive nature in communications. I would highly recommend John, he was a consummate professional while still being sensitive to the situation.

An incredible lawyer who ACTUALLY cares and loves what he does... Look no further.

I had the pleasure of finding and hiring John to help me with a recent issue with a former employer (involving severance and potential wrongful termination). John took the time to meet with me, talk about what I wanted, about how we could go about that, set clear timelines for deliverables, and then... executed on everything he said he would. John from our first meeting was very personable and seemed to truly care. Obviously, having dealt with lawyers in the past I assumed this was B.S. but as we went through the process I realized that John actually DOES care, he has an invested interest in doing the right thing and helping people - something I thought long-dead in the legal field. I was blown away at every turn that John was there to support me, guide me, and in the end, got me exactly what I had wanted - taking all the stress and burden off my plate. John read over my severance agreement, gave me advice as to what I could and could not have legal ground for, took over communication with my former employer and their legal team, dealt with deadlines and negotiated on my behalf. John wound up getting me over 50% more than I was originally intended. I literally could not have done it without him. I can't say enough good things about him and would more than highly recommend him to anyone in need of a good, hard-working, and personable lawyer.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
