I wouldn’t recommend Lana Tupchik to anyone

My husband hired her , then after 3 months we realized that she has no clue what she was doing. But it took time to find a new lawyer . We spent over ten thousand dollars for a case which she was totally clueless. Finally we got a better result with a new attorney. I wouldn’t recommend Lana Tup...chik to anyone.

Scam

SCAM. She takes $250 for a consultation and does nothing. Hurt me as survivor domestic violence as she tricked me. Failed to provide any legal advice or a retainer. Completely unprofessional and draining as an experience, the opposite of holistic. Save yourself the annoyance and time, and money. This... is how the fake attorneys sound that takes your money. Good Morning Miss ____ Thank you for your email, I wish you the best of luck in finding the attorney you are looking for, it was my pleasure speaking with you. Good luck and best wishes, Lana

"I have known Attorney Tupchik for over ten years. She is tenacious and unafraid. I have had cases against her and cases with clients on the same side as her clients. She is always prepared and researches her cases. I strongly recommend her for criminal defense as well as family court matters."

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.
