Life Saver

Lucas is the best! Reliable, extremely knowledgeable, and went above and beyond for me. If I had trusted anyone else to defend me, I wouldn't have gotten the results that I did. It was clear from our first court appearance that he is well known and respected by his colleagues and the court. His paral...egal was also wonderful! She was kind, caring, compassionate and always kept me up to date with my case. I highly recommend Lucas Mihuta!

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!

Efficient, Professional & Accessible - Highly Recommend!

Lucas worked with my husband and I on the purchase and sale of our home (2 years apart), as well as our will and other estate planning details. Lucas is a gem of a lawyer. Both he and his assistant were just so easy to work with, thoroughly explaining details we were unclear on and staying accessible... throughout each interaction. With our estate planning, specifically, he brought a number of important details to the table we'd not considered previously that made us even more confident we were working with the right person. We've already recommended Lucas' expertise to dear friends and will undoubtedly continue to do so.

EXEMPLARY LEGAL SERVICE

We were introduced to Atty. Lucas Mihuta by Atty. Pozner, who incidentally is also a great lawyer from the same office and was off on vacation. We would like to thank Atty. Mihuta and his legal assistant, Ms. Thorpe for their outstanding high level of professionalism and work ethic. Atty. Mihuta wa...s incredibly knowledgeable with Real Estate transaction. He was a superb problem solver and thus saved us a lot of anxiety with what could have been a challenging transaction. He responded to our emails in a very timely matter and the transaction was completed seamlessly and we cannot express our gratitude and appreciation enough for the exceptional way Atty. Mihuta handled our real estate needs. We would definitely refer and recommend him and his team to anyone. Thank you for your exemplary service!

Restaurant Purchase

We hired Lucas to handle the purchase of a restaurant and property in the capital region. This transaction included the creation of two LLCs, asset purchase agreements for both the restaurant and properties, the filing process for liquor permits and all of the negotiating that comes with a transacti...on of this magnitude. This was the first type of this transaction that I had ever been involved in and I was shocked by the number of transactions and paperwork that was required. Lucas was always ahead of the game regardless of the transaction. He was highly organized, professional and extremely proficient. He took the time, before the entire process began, to sit with us and get to know who we were and what our goals were. Once he had a feeling for that, we never looked back. Over the course of several months we met regularly, conversed via email and phone and executed the transaction flawlessly. It was truly a great experience. I am genuinely proud to have Lucas as a business colleague and look forward to our next venture together.

"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."
