Excellent Attorney

Luke helped me with my divorce/relocation case. He was there for me the whole way. He is honest,fair and reliable. He answered all of my questions and educated me on the whole process as it moved forward. Luke is very efficiant and got my divorced closed in a very quick and timely manner. Hiring him ...was the best decision that I made and I would recommend him everytime.

Disapointed but understanding of special circumstances

Luke seams to be a decent attorney but his personal life and health interfered with his work. There were multiple instances where appointments and even court dates had to be cancelled and rescheduled. On two separate occasions I was waiting in the courtroom and had no idea if Luke or one of his non-...partnered attorneys was even going to show up. When I did meet with Luke he was appreciatively straight forward and up front. When he did appear in court on my behalf he was professional and prepared. Overall I would still not recommend this law office until it completed an organization and scheduling modification. Communication between the staff (including Luke) and the client (myself) was fair at best.

A very happy client

I was in a very bad place considering i am a single father and i needed help to keep my daughter and my dignity as some bad things were being brought against me. This team took me in and guided me through a very difficult time and made me feel safe and secure and did their jobs with great care and... detail to the truth and kept me well informed. I will and would recommend this firm to anyone I do know or even anyone i dont.

child custody case

I have had an ongoing case with my ex husband over custody of the children and back child support. We have had numerous court dates where my ex husband has not shown up, and Luke has been very helpful and on top of the case the whole time. He has kept me informed of everything that has transpired w...ith the case.

A good, reliable lawyer.

Luke is a lawyer who makes you feel important. If you call to talk to him, you will get to talk to him. He knows what he is talking about. A real person who is easy to relate with. Overall a good lawyer, who knows his business.

"I have known Luke for approximately 9 years and have the utmost respect for him as an attorney. I would not hesitate to refer a family law client to Luke."

Appeals lawyer | Jun 04

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I endorse this lawyer's work. Luke and I go way back to law school, but we also both grew up in Las Vegas. In law school we took classes together and sometimes studied together. He sometimes made difficult concepts understandable, a sign of keen intelligence. I was impressed that he was putting himself through law school and had been a dealer in town. He has a can-do attitude and instills confidence, but he can also be very aggressive (or zealous), and will fight for his cause without being overly concerned about thinking he has to get along with everyone. If I needed help on an issue, I would call Luke and ask him what he thought. I have also referred clients to him in the past."
