A great lawyer and person.

David helped me with an injunction for my safety. He also helped me prepare legally for the case, explaining how I would respond when asked questions and guiding me through the case. David was patient, kind, and overall a great person. He is the best if you need a lawyer and want someone to help you.... I will take his kind words and advice for the rest of my life. Thank you.

DUI Case

Willis Lucas Law Group did me a great service helping me out in my case. Several motions were worked on during weekends and holidays for several of my urgent needs. I highly recommend utilizing their expertise.

My highest praises upon David's capabilities...

Mr. Willis was the 2nd attorney we retained to handle a then 2 year old, unresolved civil matter he & his crew subsequently inherited during Covid-World. While working through this period of time within a legal system that was running at half-speed, they introduced smart actions & maintained vigila...nt contact with parties involved to reach a favorable judgement for us.

VP of Account Management

David Willis was a customer of mine long before I became a client of his. And through those years I have sent referrals, not knowing I would end up needing his services myself. David does not just "take a case"--he invests himself into every aspect of the job. He kept me very informed, and made ...me feel incredibly comfortable in quite an uncomfortable circumstance. I was always made aware of any change in my case, and David was present & available for any care, concern, or clarification I needed. I had no doubt that my case was being handled by the absolute best person for the job. Furthermore, big shoutout to Rose, who handled more of my calls than any normal person should have to, but she answered every question I had with kindness and compassion. If she told me she would do something, I didn't have to wonder IF she would, and how long it would take. It just got done in a timely & courteous manner. Overall-though I hope I wouldn't have the need-I would go to David Willis & his team for any future legal needs. (And in case you were wondering? Charges dropped.)
