A Great Lawyer!

The most important qualities of an attorney are trustworthiness and competence. Both apply to Luke far beyond average, as they do to any good lawyer. But what makes an excellent lawyer is that he cares and goes the extra mile for his client, he becomes a pillar of support for the family. That is what... Luke did for us, and what was important for us after we were disappointed by a number of local lawyers who put us in a bad situation. Over the course of the case, Luke turned out to be sort of a life coach, and I am sure he helped me become a better parent. The first thing that Luke told us was to be diligent about gathering evidence that can be helpful in the custody situation. During the deposition phase, the opposing party intentionally delayed the delivery of the social study until the night before the deposition of a key witness. Luke stayed up most of the night to read the report and came well prepared to the deposition. There are lawyers who are mostly concerned with generating income for themselves. Luke is not one of them. He only does work that is necessary for the case and will recommend against activities that are not helpful for the case, and every minute of work is documented and accounted for in the very detailed statements. In summary, Luke is proof that you can win in court while maintaining your ethical standards and dignity, and protect your children from the ugliness of a family law case. That is more than I can say about any lawyer I have ever met. Thank you, Luke!
