I've come a long way

Charged with a Class 6 Felony (lets just say, with a record for the she type of crimes). I thought I was doomed & absolutely GOING TO JAIL. I just knew there was no way to come out this without serving actual jail time. My only concern was, being at home with my disabled Father. I heard so many great... things abt John Luxton, so I decided to meet with him. It was crucial that I pick the right Lawyer, because of my record. Being the only child, I needed to be home to continue to take care of my Father. I told Luxton all of my concerns, needs & wishes. He didn't beat around the bush nor did he fill my head with a lot of unrealistic promises ((that I loved about Luxton)). Luxton listened to everything I had to say, He cared abt the needs of my parents, not just Me. He's not a say talking, cocky, get over type Lawyer. He's just great, patient & gets the job done. The end result was"Home Incarceration" . I was more then satisfied & so Thankful to be able to be home with my Father. John Luxton is The Very Best Lawyer & has so much Respect in the Courtroom. I couldn't have asked for a better Lawyer. I recommend John Luxton to anyone who wants the best results & outcome for themselves or Loved one's. He will fight to get the bestt results (handling each case on an individual basis). Thank you to John W. Luxton & His Team. From Me & My Family

  • 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.
