Tough But Empathetic Lawyer

Ms Lukacsik was my lawyer in a child custody case concerning my nephews against their father. It was very unusual so there was no clear path to success. Ms Lukacsik was very honest and up-front with me in explaining that I was the underdog in this case but once I decided to proceed she attacked it wi...th gusto. I appreciated her honesty and willingness to allowe to walk away rather than giving me false hope just to get my money. She definitely does not fit the stereotypical lawyer mold. However, I think that what stands out about Ms Lukacsik is her genuine caring for her clients. It was a very emotional time for me as I'm sure it is for anyone in Family or Juvenile court and she was just ao kind amd caring as we went through the process...I felt like she cared about me and not the income I was providing. In addition, she's different from other lawyers of my experience because she keeps in touch constantly about the case, always returning calls and emails very promptly. I highly recommend Ms Lukacsik to anyone looking for a Family Lawyer.

Exceptional Experience

Heidi has been representing me since 2013 on multiple family law issues. Being a father in custody battles in AZ can be difficult and Heidi was very effective in presenting my case in and outside of the courtroom. She is very responsive to questions and always took the time to thoroughly explain ever...ything to me. I highly recommend Heidi for anything family law related.

Heidi Lukacsik is the real deal!!!

From the moment we had our first conversion, I just knew Heidi was the one that would help me get through this custody battle, and I just knew just by hearing her voice that she was the one to win my case. by that being said I sincerely appreciate Heidi Lukacsik from the bottom of my heart for pi...cking up the piece of my pervious lawyer, even though my case was a mess... I was amazed how Heidi was able to pick all the pieces and put them all together and win my case. she was always available, listened to what I had to say, she help me to see my situation to a more positive way that I never thought I would only because of the pervious lawyer. walking out of Heidi's office I felt a weight off my shoulders and so positive and I knew we were in great hands. Heidi was and is true blessing to me, my daughter and my family! THANK YOU!

Heidi is legit!!!

I first found Heidi when i was faced with a decision to try and relocate out of the state of Arizona due to military orders and getting married. It was the end of 2009 and I had a rough relationship with my sons father. Seems we were back and forth, I lacked the confidence as a mother to stand up for... myself and my role as a mother. I was a young mom and just kind of lost. I knew in 2009 I needed to do what was right for my son. Relocating was part of what I wanted and knew it would be difficult, at first his father agreed and then a few weeks prior to moving he decided to get a lawyer and fight. I met with Heidi and basically was able to poor my heart out to her, it was a huge relief just expressing my fears and concerns for my son and what I feared could happen if I was unable to relocate. Heidi listened with an attentive ear and not once made me feel rushed or pathetic. I was able to finally relocate and life seemed to be doing well. Fast forward to 2013 and I started to get an uneasy feeling about my ex and if he was living a sober life. He seemed to come and go and just not sound altogether. I was deployed to Afghanistan at the time and sought out Heidi, because she is real, raw and all about business I KNEW i HAD to have her back in my corner. She was able to help me when I felt weakest and most vulnerable. Heidi in a sense gave me the back bone I didn't have in 2009/10. So I found her at her Bishop and contacted her via phone call to discuss a modification to parenting time as well as trying to force drug testing. If my ex didn't give us a run for our money! He absolutely failed to cooperate and made Heidi work more than she really should have. Heidi never made me feel like my case was a burden. She was upfront, and didn't sugar coat anything. She let me know the good, the bad and the ugly truth. Heidi was also very mindful the cost of lawyer fees and always wanted to make sure that the way ahead was something i wanted to do and she always discussed the cost involved and didn’t just do "whatever she wanted". I feel like I am a part of her team, she is extremely thorough and takes the time to make sure she explains everything in detail so that you understand. You can always expect Heidi to have a game plan and be five steps ahead, she is always thinking ahead of what can happen, and what our options are. I highly recommend Heidi to anyone needing or wanting a no BS approach to their case. If you want to know everything that is going on, you're not afraid of honesty and aggressiveness then she is by far the one to have on your side. I can't say enough good things about the lawyer she is but not just that the person she is as well. She truly does care about the people she defends. I am so glad to have her as my lawyer and also humbled and motivated by her work ethic and drive. I will never want any other attorney.

Heidi Lukacsik is awesome!!!

Heidi Lukacsik and her team were nothing short of fantastic! Helpful, friendly, efficient, professional....the list goes on and on to describe their outstanding legal efforts and customer service. Although she has probably handled hundreds of divorce cases already, Heidi treated me and my case as if ...they were extremely important to her. Walking me through the process from start to finish, she explained what I didn’t understand and provided needed counsel when I was unsure on how to proceed. Prompt, easy to understand responses to email, phone call, and scheduled meetings....she really took the time to explain to me all my options, their possible ramifications, and the best way to proceed in an effort to achieve a successful resolution. Ms. Lukacsik and her staff were extremely flexible with my schedule and always there to help in resolving my divorce as quickly and as painlessly as possible. I would gladly recommend Heidi and her staff to anyone who needs divorce advice or legal services. My experience with here was absolutely top notch and I am proud to refer to her as “my lawyer”. She really did a great job, she's awesome.

"I worked with Heidi when she was appointed as BIA in one of my cases--a difficult matter with a long, contentious history. Heidi gave both parents and their children great respect, patiently sitting down with each of them to make sure they were heard. Heidi did not hesitate to spend the time needed to learn the case background, discuss the case with the other attorneys, and submit comprehensive, detailed reports to the Court. She did not get distracted by trivial issues, but always kept her focus on the best interests of the children. It was a pleasure working with Heidi and I endorse her with enthusiasm!"

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I have had the pleasure of practicing with Heidi as opposing counsel for almost three years. Always the consummate professional, I have enjoyed working with her even under the most stressful of circumstances, and with difficult clients. Heidi is a diligent attorney, is passionate about her work, and strives to ensure that her clients get the best result possible while maintaining the highest of ethical standards. She also does not take "no" for an answer. As I no longer practice domestic relations law, I now send Heidi all of my family and juvenile case referrals. I would recommend her to anyone seeking a competent and compassionate advocate in any family or juvenile court proceeding."

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I wholeheartedly endorse Heidi as an accomplished family law lawyer. Heidi and I had an exceedingly challenging case against each other - a case in which the parties were extremely polarized, with client tensions running high. Heidi was very well prepared, knowledgeable regarding the law, very effective in Court and she and I were ultimately able to effectuate a fair and reasonable settlement in a cost-effective manner which benefitted both parties, and their child. The case was so effectively resolved that the parties never litigated again, and their child, who unquestionably benefitted from the manner in which the case was resolved, is now an adult, who enjoys wonderful and healthy relationships with both parents. Heidi is a terrific family law lawyer."
