Outstanding Attorney

Lucas Fleming represented my family during the most difficult period of our lives. His professionalism and insight into the situation we were dealing with was beyond anything I could have hoped for. He treated our family with respect, dignity and compassion right from the start. His ability to gat...her facts and information, help us make the right decisions to resolve our situation, and represent our family, helped ease the difficulty of navigating a extremely stressful time. I would highly recommend Lucas Fleming to anyone needing the most knowledgeable and compassionate attorney there is.

Excellent Results! Gifted Attorney.

Lucas Fleming is a gifted attorney having great success with criminal cases over the last 20+ years. His experience actually trying criminal cases in Pinellas separates Mr. Fleming from most other criminal defense attorneys. He is extremely passionate, cares about his clients, and is always determi...ned to get the best results. Personally, he has represented me and we were successful. I also hold a JD, and I trust Mr. Fleming and his law firm. One of the many reasons that I continue to refer him is his deep experience having first been a State Prosecutor and the fact that repeatedly, I have witnessed him always doing the right thing with great integrity and most importantly getting fair results for his clients and saving his clients against unjust charges. Mr. Fleming also gives back to the community in the most meaningful way. Mr. Fleming founded and runs Lawyers for Literacy whicis a non-profit organization of volunteer attorneys and judges with one goal in mind: helping at-risk third grade students in many F rated Pinellas schools pass the FSA (Florida Standards Assessments) by tutoring one-on-one in reading and reading comprehension in preparation for the exam.

Lucas Fleming @ Fleming Law Group

Mr. Fleming was very professional and responsive. He was able to reduce my son's DUI and Drug Paraphenalia charges to a Reckless Driving conviction. And during the process his office staff was able to communicate in detail the answers to questions and concerns the very same day. Mr. Fleming was al...so available every time I called, or he got back to me the same day. I would recommend him and his office staff to anyone who had a serious criminal offense for the best possible outcome.
