16 years later Attorney Luedtke is awesome

Looking back 16 years ago when Attorney Luedtke took my divorce case it felt hopeless and yet I trusted Attorney Luedtke and now 16 years later I am doing better than ever truly amazing! Bill

Love her

She is a very good lawyer I trust her and she gives me the best advice. The first time I went to her I was very upset and I am deeply sorry for the first review I left. She tells you the truth and she won’t steer you wrong. She is the only family lawyer I will ever go to. She made me feel better afte...r talking to her and she told me to call her if I have any more questions. The last time I gave her a bad review but I was not my self at all, I knew deep down she would help me if she could but at the time I thought she was hurting me on purpose but depression can make you think bad things and I am so sorry.

Excellent help with assult case

Attorney Luedtke is a gem! She very knowledgeably and compassionately helped my son navigate his way thru an assult case. She was his best advocate and used her experience and familiarity with the Adam's County legal environment to advise us, negotiate and represent my son for the best outcome. I... felt that she had our best interests in mind at all times and was efficient, patient and sensitive to our stress. I highly recommend her!

Small Claims Action

I had an issue with my ex-fiancée and the recovery of an engagement ring and other personal property that she refused to return to me. I initiated a small claims action on my own and soon found myself in a counter-suit and things became very complicated and ugly very quickly. I contacted Attorney ...Luedtke’s office and paralegal Wanda was able to get me in right away for a meeting. I decided to hire Attorney Luedtke as she instantly put me at ease about my case, as I had been served with several counter-suits and was quite upset. We met in the office several times to be prepare for court and Attorney Luedtke helped me organize all of the evidence from receipts, photos and witnesses. We had to go to court several times, all of the counter-suits were thrown out, and I won my case. The engagement ring was returned and the other items along with monetary money for damages to my home. The entire Luedtke team is number one in my world!

Thank you!

I was going thru a very bad divorce and I was trying to get by without a lawyer to save money. What a mistake so after my court date and how bad it went for me I decided to seek out a lawyer. Attorney Luedtke was very nice explained what we needed to do and went back to court and my issues for visit...ation were resolved! Also paralegal Wanda was fantastic as I would call for updates and she was very pleasant on the phone and in person. Never try to go to court without a Lawyer and that lawyer should be Attorney Luedtke! Mike T.

  • 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.
