Exceptional Client Representation

We would recommend Mr Lykkebak without hesitation. He represented a member of my family with great skill and understanding. He cares and does the his very best to represent his client. We could not have made a better choice.

Efficient and proficient

Having Donald Lykkebaks representation was a huge relief. He was always attentive to any question I asked him, and easy to talk to. He has always left me with the feeling that every effort possible was made when handling my legal matter. I would refer Mr. Lykkebaks expertise to anyone in need and h...e will be my first thought if I ever need legal representation again.

Excellent representation

When you look for a great product, typically you look for a specialist in that product, and within that industry, you look for the best provider of the product. Mr. Donald Lykkebak is one of these individuals your look for when in need of criminal defense. He is a "Superstar" in this industry, and a ...champion for his clients. I was fortunate to have been recommended to him by another attorney acquaintance. She told me, "If I was looking for representation for myself, based on the charges you have, I would look for the best possible attorney available, and that would be Donald Lykkebak. He has over 30 yrs experience, has a great reputation, and is highly respected by the prosecution, judges, and attorneys." I was and am a client of Mr. Lykkebak. I say was and am, because even after my case was resolved, I still communicate with him, and he is always there to answer questions and provide any support. If you have been in any legal situation previously, you understand that there are always lose ends to tie up, and Mr. Lykkebak is always there, every time. He is very resourceful with all aspects and needs of his clients. I had the experience of walking into a courtroom and having all of the other attorneys sit up straight and acknowledge Mr. Lykkebak as we entered. I have to say, this was very comforting given the situation. At that moment, I was reaffirmed, that I was in good hands. One of the attorneys even asked where the cameras were, referring to Mr. Lykkebak's recent appearance on TV regarding a high profile case. Even the judge acknowledged Mr. Lykkebak. Regarding his reputation I can provide this example of my experience. We were able to present historical information and facts regarding a situation between the probation office and outsourced vendor, that outlined impropriety, and Mr. Lykkebak was successful in having the judge review the facts and take corrective action in our favor, without hesitation. This only happens when the judge knows the track record well enough to know that Mr. Lykkebak is presenting a valid complaint, and one that he will likely win. He has the ability to present arguments in a way that are very effective with the prosecution. They listen objectively to Mr. Lykkebak and always work with him to find a just resolution. Moreover, Mr. Lykkebak is plainly a good and decent man who makes you feel comfortable through every step of the process. I really don't know what else to say other than thank you very much Mr. Lykkebak, I am very satisfied with your representation. You are an amazing attorney and friend. Cordially, Your respectful client.

Donald Lykkebka is the the best lawyer in Florida.

My wife and I have known Donald for 35 years and consider him one of the most honorable men we have ever known.Being a retired Captain from the Marines,his civic and charity minded contrbutions coupledwith his Christian values equates us to consider Donald to be a lawyers lawyer.
