Hiring Luke to represent me was the smartest decision I made. He was knowledgeable, friendly, and put me at ease. He very obviously had my best interests at heart. Our first instinct when going to court was to try to end up with a minimal fine and to put the experience behind us. Luke listened to our... concerns, and discussed a strategy with us. In the end, we decided the trust him. Our result was better than we had expected and Luke proved himself to be an exceptional attorney with a strong knowledge of the law and police procedures.

Mr Nichols did an excellent work by stinking to his words. After all the difficulties at the court room on four trials,finally he made me a free man just yesterday.i will recommend his law firm for everybody in northern virginia.he is a nice and patient person.he listns to your views on your c...ase.

RUN AWAY!! Mr. Nichols is a nice guy but refused to defend me in the manner upon which we agreed. I spent a great deal of time researching the elements of my case on the internet and discussed, in great detail, everything that I found and how I wanted to be defended. In his office, Luke and I seem...ed to be on the same page but when push came to shove in the courtroom, he refused to bring up SOLID legal points. He even seemed to be getting all chummy with the prosecution as if they were old college buddies. After advising me not to contest a false versioin of events brought on by the prosecution, he loss the case and has refused to represent me any further despite his created errors in the case. His position on the matter was that his "contract had expired" and thus he was "no longer obligated to defend or help [me] in any way". Although affordable, I would suggest you find an attorney with more experience before you are disappointed in the court room as well. Eight-hundred dollars later (the last bit of wealth that I had left), I am no better off now than I was before I walked into his office.. as a matter of fact, I am much worst off had I stayed out of his office.

I got a reckless driving ticket back in early Feb for passing a parked school bus. Then court date was postponed to May due to snow. So it is a long process. And I can not wait to get it over with. Mr. Nichols helped me to reduce the charge from a criminal to speeding ticket and a fine of 150 plus ...court fee total a little over 200 which is much lower than what I expected. And I was at the court for only one hour. He is friendly and charismatic easy to work with. He makes the court experience less stressful.

Luke got my "reckless by speed" reduced to a speeding ticket. Not sure of implications of criminal misdemeanor associated with reckless charge but now I don't have to worry about. Luke negotiated with DA twice because first "offer" still included criminal charge which I needed to avoid (unknown but... potential impact on employ-ability - I work in pharmaceutical industry). Would definitely recommend Luke and the firm in general. Fast response to all my questions, told me all the things I needed to do to bolster my case and followed through with a "win".
