Clifton Jon Lurkis

I retained Mr. Lurkis for a difficult divorce. I interviewed several attorneys, but ultimately chose Mr. Lurkis because he seemed easy-going and kind, in addition to being a good lawyer. I am glad I did. I was in good hands and he made the experience as pleasant as it could be. I frequently recommend... him to others.

I was referred to Clif Lurkis by a family member a little over ten years ago. I sought Clif's subject matter expertise for a highly challenging divorce situation involving complexities and high ambiguity. His exceptional knowledge of the legal system was only surpassed by his profound emotional in...telligence and unwavering backing for my situation. Clif served as a beacon of hope for my inner family and me during some of the most challenging times in my life. His straightforward and empathetic demeanor helped dramatically throughout the divorce, saving me time and minimizing unnecessary complications and distractions. During the entire process, he advocated for setting a foundation for a transition to co-parenting on the other side of the final divorce agreement. While I am incredibly thankful that Clif professionally obtained the best results possible during my difficult and painful divorce. I am forever grateful for his genuine understanding and direction that helped me prepare and evolve into the best-divorced father and ex-husband I can be, which was and continues to be the most valuable aspect of Clif's assistance. I have since recommended Clif to family and friends over the years, and he has supported them just as vigorously as he supported me. I wholeheartedly recommend Clif and his team without hesitation.

Hello, Funny thing about dealing with Lurkis is that I was so pleased with his work that I ended up WANTING to pay him ! I am in business, and Attorney Lurkis is more open, less stilted and far more professional than any other attorney I have met, with one exception, in another field, and that pe...rson is a long-term personal friend. I consulted other attorneys he had worked with and they gave him terrific reviews. In my child parentage case, my first attorney was not only following the well-known "money, money, money" path ! I am no lawyer, but as I found out empirically, her advice was simply incorrect ! "Sounded good" "in theory", but was costing thousands, and less likely to succeed. Much of her energy went into "selling" me she was great and asking for praise. She seemed smart, but left me with the impression of a beginner grasping for top fees. I felt stressed by her presence in my life - really, I did ! When I criticized something she had done in attempt to discuss it, she poutingly suggested I should find another attorney. I advise anyone to Beware of: "Sell, Sell, Pressure, Pressure" ! Lurkis never attempted to sell me anything or demand praise. His associates and clients I spoke with gave me great references instead. Besides, he is in demand and has plenty of work without any selling needed. He kept the issues simple and schooled me on the intent of the law. Lurkis worked with me on fees and payment terms at a time when I really needed it. Lurkis was extremely well received by the judge handling my case. His attention is fixed where it should be: on the welfare of the child. Clif is a father and understands the issues from a personal view. He was open to discussion and gave me the "straight scoop" wherever I had questions. How did the case turn out ? With his much appreciated help, I won. Thanks, Clif !

Clif Lurkis was a fortunate find for me. In the midst of a painful legal situation, he provided clarity, empathy, and knowledgeable advice. All the lawyer cliches people like to repeat fell into dust around Clif - far from trying to add to my bill, he would point out if I was getting distracted by ...unimportant details, and adding time. And I always felt he cared about doing the right thing, and doing the right thing by me. His clear sense of ethics helped me remember mine. I would not hesitate to recommend Mr. Lurkis to anyone. He's a real treasure.
