Absolute best attorney!

I am beyond grateful for Catherine Lukehart and the incredible support she provided over the last 2-3 years as she guided me through both a small claims case and a personal injury case. These were long, challenging battles, but Catherine was there every step of the way, offering not just legal exper...tise but genuine care and encouragement. From the moment we started working together, Catherine showed an exceptional level of dedication and attention to detail. In the small claims case, she meticulously handled every aspect, making sure I was always informed and prepared. Her professionalism and clear guidance made a world of difference, leading to a favorable outcome that I couldn't have achieved on my own. I honestly don't know how I would have made it through these cases without Catherine. Her unwavering dedication, expertise, and kindness have had a profound impact on my life. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone in need of legal assistance. Thank you, Catherine Lukehart, for being such an amazing advocate and friend.

Mrs. Chavez

Catherine Lukehart worked hard and persistently to help me with my case. She is a very considerate, tough woman who will work hard for all of her clients. Despite my difficult situation and limited resources she did not let that stop her from doing everything in her power to help me right the wrongs ...perpetrated against me. She is a lawyer who truly wants to help her clients and sees them as people and just as a paycheck. Anyone would be fortunate to use her for their services and I would recommend her to any one who needs legal services.

Amazing knowledge of the law, combined with extensive experience, equals successful results.

My call to Catherine Lukehart was desperate. My previous lawyer had put me in a precarious position. He had done nothing to further my interest in a very complicated case and then quit unexpectedly after he reached the end of his retainer. A call to Orange County Bar Association resulted in a positiv...e referral to Catherine Lukehart’s office. Lukehart listened. She asked me questions my previous attorney ignored. In a couple hours, she understood the case better than my previous attorney ever did, and knew what needed to be done. And it wasn’t pretty. I’m still amazed she took this case. After a two-year ordeal that involved - literally - a crate load of evidence that included about 2,000 pages of medical records and hundreds of pages of texts and emails, Ms. Lukehart negotiated a reasonable settlement to a case that looked impossible. Understanding what Lukehart does is why she is recommended many times. During conferences, Lukehart keeps it real. Her meetings are productive. Her questioning skills, coupled with a keen sense of case law, lead to legal strategies that work. Most importantly, she was able to help me make common sense judgments that subsequently affected the positive outcome of the case. At no point did she make a decision without my absolute consent. At no point did I feel pressure to make a decision I felt wasn’t right. Lukehart can explain in detail how the court will see where fault begins and ends according to evidence. And that’s important, especially when you think the whole world should see why you’re right and the other person is wrong. Lukehart’s skill at deposition was artful. During a grueling 400-minute deposition, Lukehart exposed numerous falsehoods the opposing litigant emphatically claimed were true. Lukehart’s personal command of the evidence set her far apart from the opposing attorney. The opposing litigant was forced to refute many items her attorney had included in his filing because Lukehart’s questioning zeroed in on inconsistencies between what the opposing litigant said and the evidence her office had subpoenaed. During the deposition, Lukehart's questioning cadence never broke. One question followed another question quickly for more than six hours. The opposing litigant didn’t have the luxury of time between questions to nuance answers. My case was handled in the most expeditious, competent, and friendly manner. Lukehart is an attorney who will treat your time, money and your legal case with the utmost of respect. Simply, Lukehart is an attorney you can trust.

Helped me out when no one could or would!

Mrs. Lukehart was excellent in handling my case in the most respectable and timely manner. She helped me out when no one else would care to bother. I had to call Mrs. Lukehart after the "good faith" of the insurance company didn't hold up in their part in insuring me a fair case. She helped me out ev...en though my time to file a lawsuit was running out of time; she still attempted and conquered in winning my case. I received an amazing settlement and had great satisfaction in having found Mrs. Lukehart. She will help you beyond all means necessary!

The ideal attourney for my personal injury case!

Kathy handled my case as close to perfectly as I could possibly ask. I was T-bones by a drunk driver and and suffered from multiple broken bones and a few days in the trauma center. I was referred a friend to Ms. Lukehart, And thank God I was! She handled things swiftly tactfully and profes...sionally while being unbelievably pleasant to speak to and easy to make a personal connection with. What I found most appealing about having her as my representation was her clear sense of decency and morality while making sure that justice was served and I have the opportunity to recover physically and financially for not just losses but pain and family suffering. When I showed no interest in going after the drunk then hit me for his personal holdings she was understanding and fell deeply compassionate towards both parties and their issues. Despite having a lawyer with a conscience and compassion, we still managed to cover the maximum on all policies! I cannot express how good it feels to be given the opportunity to be made whole again to be appropriately compensated, for justice to be served, and for all these things to take place while being able to feel good about myself and the person who represented me. Carhy was a blessing and it was my absolute pleasure to see her get her fees she's so richly earned. I can recommend this attorney for any decent, hard-working, caring person who needs representation.
