He fights for the little guy and he works with you financially to solve the problem.

This layer is a people's lawyer, he has integrity, great listener and empathy for his client and he understand the problems at stake. He explains the law and gives options to get what you want to resolve the issues. I had a divorce case and Mr Kendal was able to put the necessary documents togeth...er to make sure my side was understood by the court. Hardworking for you is his strength!!

LIGHT AT THE END OF OUR TUNNEL!!

Kendal Luke, what can we say... It's been about 15 years since we last spoke or saw him.. And today.. My wife sought him out again, for a friend this time... He remembered us!!! My wife was so excited sharing that she talked with Kendal and him being as welcoming as the first time we met. Kendal ...was definitely the light at the end of our tunnel. It was 15 years ago, Kendal helped us with gaining full custody of our son, my wife is his stepmom. Just to share a bit on our case, it was a custody request for joint, though my son's mother refused. My son was already living with my wife and I, and has always lived with me since he was born, with the exception of one year of his life, due to his mom getting married and divorced all in that same year. When my son was 14 years old, we sought out Kendal Luke by a referral. We presented our case and Kendal said to us "ok guys, this is gonna get ugly...real ugly. And before it gets better it's gonna get worse." We knew right then, this is our guy!! Kendal was a straight shooter, obviously he was honest, because we already knew things were ugly... In the end we got full custody of my son. And the myth of the children or child will always end up with the mother... That was out of my head forever!! The judge granted me, the father, full custody! I thank Kendal for fighting fair, always believing that we had a chance, always keeping us in the loop, and making us a friend. Kendal always kept matters in our case appropriate for my son, never ever made it one sided, although we could've, though he didn't. Kendal made sure paperwork was filed in a timely manner, court orders served in a timely manner, hearings and trial was appropriately timed. We made an Attorney Friend for Life!! Anytime we have family and or friends that have similar situations like ours.. Kendal Luke is definitely our referral. Thanks again Kendal!!
