Truly Appreciable Talent

Heidi helped steer me through a relatively sudden and unexpected divorce where the outcome just couldn't have been better. I found Heidi is truly passionate about her work and very attentive to her clients needs from start to finish, and even beyond. Tethered with her exquisite combination of knowled...ge, experience, professionalism, and personality she was exactly the person I needed by my side and I won't hesitate to recommend her. My situation was really hard to make sense of for either of us and Heidi was quickly able to see a plan of action that steered my case in the right direction. Her approach to divorce matters is one of 'simplicity first' and prepares you and herself well for what comes next both in and out of the courtroom. She took the time to explain legal elements and their applications at levels I could comprehend and make sense of. This consistently left me with a feeling of being connected and well informed to all the important facets of my case. For my daughter and I, Heidi was truly a lifesaver and blessing. We can't thank you enough Heidi!

Heidi Lukacsik

This was the hardest time of my life; scared, angry, hurt, and confused. Heidi understood what I was going through and treated me like a human not just like another client source of income. She provided a tremendous amount information and tools the time to ensure I knew my options and the road ahead ...of me. And just as important, she communicates very proactively and in such a non-jargon speak that I always felt prepared well ahead of time. I feel I got the best outcome possible all due to Heidi’s knowledge, skills and overall approach to divorce matters. Truly one of the best!!

Professional, Compassionate, Aggressive, Kept me Grounded

Divorce is awful, ugly and brings out the worst in even the best people. Our divorce took over a year, without the guidance and professionalism that Heidi provided I wouldn't have mentally been able to sustain the arduous process. When I met Heidi she reassured me that while the process would be l...ong and challenging that she would help me get through it. From her first meeting until we finalized the paperwork she was by my side. She was always prepared! From our first meeting she began preparing me and walking me through the process, she anticipated things happening that I never would have expected. Being prepared helped alleviate my anxiety and made me feel empowered. Within the first few meetings I knew the options for divorce proceedings and felt confident in Heidi's ability to navigate me through the process. Heidi prides herself on being professional and prepared. When representing me in court or in mediation she had everything prepared and made sure she knew my case thoroughly. I never felt like I made a decision or went into anything without everything explained in detail. Sometimes Heidi had to explain legal issues or the process multiple times, she always had so much patience with me. We were also faced with situations where Heidi needed to be assertive and bold, when these situations came up she knew exactly how aggressive to be while still maintaining peace between all parties. With a case like mine I felt like I needed an experienced attorney who was well respected by her peers. My ex-husband hired several attorneys to represent him, with each new attorney Heidi poised herself in the most professional manner. With each new attorney Heidi knew the opposing counsel, was familiar with his strategy in the court room and was prepared to adjust and interact with the attorney accordingly. Most important was the way in which our Judge interacted with Heidi. It was reassuring to see that he valued her level of professionalism and that his previous experiences with her in his court were positive. In our case we not only had the complicated element of business and property issues, but we also have small children. Heidi understood my role as a mother and listened to my needs and concerns. When I couldn't be rational or logical she helped ground me so I could come up with the most ideal schedule for the kids. Heidi was available when needed. She answered my calls and emails in a timely manner. I also appreciated that she was respectful of my work and mom schedule. She scheduled time to speak with me and we worked together to find times that worked with both of our busy schedules. I know Heidi has many clients, but she always made me feel like a priority and never like a bother. I can't express my gratitude and appreciation to Heidi. I never thought I would get a divorce, but I am thankful that I had Heidi to support me and help me get through it with dignity and grace.

Heidi Lukacsik Exceeds All Expectations For Her Clients

Ms. Lukacsik has exceptional knowledge and skill with family law, coupled with her compassionate guidance through the process. Her dedication is unrelenting and ethics unparalleled. She was very fair and honest with me when I needed to be reasonable and when we needed to stand firm with the case. S...he was able to have motions dismissed based on her comprehensive knowledge of the law and precedents and is a skilled negotiator. I have, and will, continue to recommend her to friends in their time of need. She is a tiger for her clients.

Heidi was extremely professional, yet so comforting and genuine throughout the entire time she worked on my case. Divorce and parenting issues are never easy issues to deal with, however, Heidi was so amazing at guiding me through the system and talking me through each step. She was timely in her re...turn of calls and emails and never left me wondering when I would hear back from her or feeling like I didn't know what was happening with my case. She clearly went out of her way to make the situation the best it could be and helped comfort me when I was worried or upset. Not only does she have an ability to relate to her clients and listen to their needs, she is also highly educated with the laws, familiar in the court system and knows how to deal with other attorneys. She was on top of every motion and knew the next step when it was needed. I highly recommend Lukacsik Law and will definitely use her again and refer her to any friends that come my way for referrals.

"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."
