Extremely helpful, kind

Lucas and his legal assistant, Rebecca, were extremely supportive following my son's car accident. The process of applying for insurance compensation to cover his substantial injuries was too overwhelming for us to tackle alone. I would highly recommend Lucas for his kindness and strong legal adv...ocacy.

incredible knowledge of all areas!

10 years ago i saw mr. mihuta in rensselaer county court and he was the only lawyer that argued with the judge for his client. other attorneys i witnessed agreeing with the da. Mr. Mituta wouldnt take anything less then the best for his client. i was impressed then and started to retain him. I have u...sed lucas over the last 10 plus years for various criminal court proceedings, to surrogates and most recently my personal injury case which went to trial. During trial i was so impressed with his knowledge of medical that i asked him if he had a medical degree as well. he actually had the doctors re think what they were saying and his style had the jury do anything BUT fall asleep. even the judge said he was looking forward to lucas keeping him awake. he was so impressive with his closing arguments he had me crying and moved the jury to a favorable outcome. Hes friendly, impressively knowledgable, understanding and most of all not judgemental in anyway. lucas generally cares for his clients and will work hard to make sure he gets the bests results for you. stop looking for attorneys. i swear you hit jackpot with mr. mihuta, your in good hands and worth every penny.

Hiring Lucas was the best decision.

Lucas is an excellent lawyer. He is intelligent, thoughtful, and incredibly hard-working. He is straightforward, strategic, and practical and he communicates in a way that makes understanding the process so much simpler. It is easy to build trust and rapport with Lucas . Lucas represented me in a per...sonal injury case in which I was the victim of an automobile accident. The road to recovery was difficult and I cannot imagine how much more difficult it would have been without Lucas. I always felt safe and protected and it freed up a lot of mental space in my life to focus on healing. Lucas and his equally fantastic assistant Rebecca secured me a settlement that was far beyond my initial expectations. Their compassion and empathy was invaluable at a time when I needed it most. I cannot recommend Lucas and Rebecca enough.

Outstanding in every way

Lucas represented me in a personal injury case after the vehicle I was driving was hit by a drunk driver who crossed the double yellow line. The opposing insurance company was very difficult to work with and tried to stonewall and stall the case numerous times. But Lucas never gave up and fought to...oth and nail for the settlement that I deserved right up until the end. All the while he kept me well informed and was always a pleasure to speak too. I cannot recommend him enough!

Personal Injury

Lucas helped me through a tough time after I was hit head on by a drunk driver who crossed the median on I 90. He was there right from the beginning. I never would have been able to navigate all the paper work, Thankfully we had a successful outcome in a fairly short amount of time and I can put it... all behind me. I would definitely recommend Lucas for a personal injury case.

"I heartily endorse Mr. Mihuta. I've known him for many years and have had an opportunity to observe him in the courtroom, outside the courtroom, and interacting with colleagues. I find him to be extremely knowledgeable, diligent and compassionate. It is important for a litigant to have an attorney that sees him or her as a person, not just a defendant. Mr. Mihuta is just such an attorney."
