Kept All His Promises

When I first met Mr. Lutz, he was the third attorney I'd seen. I was not impressed with the knowledge level of the first two. After my first meeting with Mr. Lutz I immediately felt less anxious about my case. He not only answered all my questions, it was obvious he went of his way to make sure I un...derstood my custody case. I knew how long it was going to take and what steps to expect. In the end, every promise he made at the first meeting was kept. My case was not easy. It had a lot of twists and turns. The family members most important in my life were protected and for that I am very grateful to Mr. Lutz.

Long standing issues

David provided wonderful guidance and advise regarding a continuing child custody issue and the probable reasons behind actions being taken by my ex-wife.

A long and dramatic process

My divorce/custody case is now pushing 3 years. Mr. lutz and his team have stuck by me the entire time. What I found comforting about this office is they always give sound advice. In cases like these it's a win some/loose some approach. Mr. Lutz always gave me real advice and recommendations that may... not always be what you want to hear but it's what you need to hear. Like the title says it's been a long process but all the hard work has payed off and my kids are now safe.

Professionalism at its finest!

I hired David Lutz in January 2013 to handle the paperwork and court proceedings for my divorce. At the time, my divorce situation was amicable, as my ex-husband and I had already come to agreements on everything from the parenting plan, division of debts, and division of property, etc. We wrote ...everything up ourselves and I handed it over to Mr. Lutz and his staff to handle the rest. They did a great job getting my paperwork ready for signature and it was a relatively quick turn-around. Costs were low and I was happy with their service. However, when it came time for my ex and me to sign the paperwork, he decided he wanted to have another attorney look over the paperwork to make sure he was protected. Fine, not a problem. That's when things took a turn. He delayed the signing for several months and made up excuses why he needed more time to have them reviewed. Suddenly, in March 2014 he hired an attorney himself and decided he wanted to fight me for everything. What I thought was going to be an amicable divorce with a quick resolution turned very ugly and I became a panic stricken mess. Mr. Lutz and his assistant Minta were there for me every step of the way. Although I felt like there would be no end to the fight, I was assured by Mr. Lutz that he would aggressively represent me in court. And that he did. He was knowledgeable, professional, and was on top of his game. Unfortunately the judge did not rule in my favor at that hearing. There were a number of reasons why Mr. Lutz and I believed the ruling to be wrong so he suggested requesting a reconsideration hearing; which I did. Mr. Lutz quickly got back on the case and requested a reconsideration and backed up our reasons for it to be reconsidered with every WAC and RCW we could use to prove my stand. The judge agreed and decided she would hear the case in another court hearing. This is when things shifted again. Two days before the hearing, I received a settlement offer from my ex, through his attorney. Mr. Lutz helped me to reach an agreement with a CR2a so that our agreement would be bound by contract before cancelling my hearing and our settlement conference. While my case is still in the process of drafting final docs, thanks to Mr. Lutz and Minta, I am able to finally say the worst is over and I survived the most extreme emotional roller-coaster ride ever. My ex can't change his mind on the agreement and my mind is finally at ease. Mr. Lutz and his staff have been a fantastic group to work with. They kept me informed, answered probably on the upscale of a million questions, sometimes over and over again, and have been there day, night, and weekend for me. Yes, I said night and weekend. This is how dedicated this group is and I wouldn't be where I am today without them.
