Saved my life

Title says it all. Lucas is an excellent attorney. He came highly recommended. I had also read his reviews here, which were spot on. I interviewed 3 attorneys and knew immediately he was the right one. I retained him and he went right to work. All the questions I had, one time he said 'don't worry, t...hat's why you hired me' and you know what, I did genuinely trust him - that he was truly working in my best interest, which was very comforting in an extremely stressful time full of unknowns. Very calm and focused as others described. Never felt like a lower priority than other clients; in fact, never heard anything about workload, etc. Very responsive; communicated regularly via text/email and of course was only a phone call away. Never had to wait on a response, even after hours. I am nothing short of amazed with what he was able to achieve on my behalf. Let me repeat that - AMAZED. He has a great rapport with the state attorney's office and is highly respected in the legal community (other attorneys I interviewed spoke highly of him). I made a very poor decision that could have had significant negative consequences beyond what I had already experienced. He was careful never to suggest an outcome he didn't think was reasonable and, as a consultant myself, I respect that - it reflects his high ethical standard. I don't have enough kind words for him. Thanks to Lucas I've been given a second chance. I'll never forget what he's done for me. The worst decision in my life was followed by the best decision in my life - hiring Lucas. THANK YOU LUCAS!

A Godsend

Lucas is awesome! He is so much more than just an amazing attorney. He is like a protective big brother and best friend. He listens and truly cares. He works so hard to cover all bases and get the law to work for the victim. Thank you is not enough for all that he has done for my family.

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"Lucas is a fellow prior prosecutor who worked in the Third Judicial Circuit State Attorneys Office as I did before entering private practice. I have worked many cases across from Lucas as the prosecutor and him the Defense attorney and it was always a pleasure having cases with him. He is professional, polite, knowledgeable and very experienced. Anytime I had him file a notice in on a case, I was very glad because I know he would communicate well, get the work done, and always be professional and ethical. I recommend him for criminal and family law cases and feel very privileged to have him as a colleague in the Third Circuit Bar."
