If you have used other attorneys and were disappointed, Luke is the shining star.

As out of state clients, we've interviewed countless attorneys. Some made us feel that we are low life parents and that was why we were going to court. The previous 2 attorneys we used, they led us to believe that we where in good hands. But they left us in the dark, which is why we have to go back t...o court for the 3rd time in 5 years. After reading the motions that where filed and watching the courtroom performance, we really felt that we were cut off at the knees. Really, we've wasted tens of thousands of dollars on previous legal fees and travel costs. If we had the right attorney from the start, alot of this would have been avoided. Luke, has given us hope with realistic and applicable advice. (such a shame that we didn't use him earlier). Oh yes, his advice did work. His courtroom performance was A+ delivery and we have chance to get a change of custody. Everything in our countermotion was addressed in front of the judge. Luke did not let the other parties' attorney sway from that either. Luke did everything he told us what he was going to do. His staff is superb. Our previous atty's office, gave us incorrect court dates and we booked flights. When we had found out the correct dates we had to pay change of fare fees and the increase of the fare. Also, we get updates about our case in a timely manner. Luke and his office, tells us to call anytime with questions. When we do, we never feel like we are interrupting them or that we are bothering them. If you want to use an attorney with integrity, honesty, willingness, and quality service, we'd highly advise you to give Luke a call. He has worked for us!

Highly Recommended

Mr. Ciciliano is currently representing me in a criminal case and has done nothing but continue to impress me with his concern for my situation, his diligence in ensuring my rights are represented, and his responsiveness to and counseling for my specific issues. I would recommend Mr. Ciciliano to ANY...ONE in need of legal services, especially if you feel your rights have been or are being violated.

Luke Ciciliano is awesome! Good lawyers are surprisingly hard to find

Luke Ciciliano is professional and speaks VERY well in court. He's aggressive (but doesn't tick off the judge), sticks to the facts that count, quick thinking, and extremely fair with his billing. His secretary is super nice and super helpful. After going through 3 other lawyers who did nothing go...od for the money I paid, I've been extremely happy with Luke & Associates!

Great Lawyer

I couldn't be happier with this lawyer. He got me custody of my daughter, got me alimony, and my daughter and I were allowed to move to Indiana. Plus my ex-husband had to pay my lawyer bill. You should hire Luke Ciciliano.

Consistent, very nice, confident!

I would recommend this lawyer! I was very happy with his consistency in helping with my custody case. I was going through rough times and i could count on him and not be so stressed out! He also helped me with some minor tickets. He was easy to talk to and helped any way he knew how! I would use him ...for any type of case and hand out his cards when anyone I know are needing lawyer:)

"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."
