Great job

Mr. Lutz did an excellent job he did everything he could for me and although the courts didn't see eye to eye he did everything possible and I appreciate that. I would definitely recommend him to anyone.

I'm glad I choose Atty. Lutz to be on my side

The divorce proceeding was tough and painful. But Atty. Lutz and his staff help me go through it. They did help me protect my rights, they give me advise and help me fully understand each processes. I'm glad I choose the Lutz Law Office to be on my side.

Basic mistakes, overpriced

I Asked to recover expenses from my ex already incurred, Lutz didn’t submit the receipts. He made me pay over $20,000 for nothing. Handed in a document that wasn’t double spaced instead, that was thrown out. Seemed like he worked with the other attorney too much and agreed to everything they wanted. ...Did not see it through appeal. Said he doesn’t really work anymore and is retired? I want my money back.

Divorce

I met with Mr. Lutz and he told me he would help me with my divorce. I didn't have enough money to retain his services, but he said that I seemed pretty intelligent and for less money he would advise me and guide me through the necessary steps through my divorce. He assured me that he would help me w...ith any questions or help I needed. He emailed me all the necessary paperwork. I filled everything out accordingly and emailed it back to him for his review. At our second scheduled appointment, he said he was due in court and passed me off to his office clerk, who is attending college to become an attorney. Mr. Lutz then left his office to go to court. His office clerk reviewed, adjusted wording and electronically filed for me. I went to my first court date and was told that the paperwork showed that Mr. Lutz was representing me and that I could not represent myself because of it. The paperwork had been filed incorrectly. His office clerk made the changes so that I could move forward. Long story short, this experience continued in this direction the entire time. I paid more than $900 to Mr. Lutz and I am still married and no closer to being divorced than the I was at my first appointment. I tried to work this out with Mr. Lutz, but all contact was intercepted by his office clerk and she told me that I would have to pay additional monies for anymore guidance.

It is always an unfortunate situation when a client leaves our office unhappy for any reason. Paralegal Services and Consultations are something that most law firms offer as a way to provide legal help to those who may need assistance with preparing documents but cannot afford the costs of an attorney appearing on their behalf. When these type of services are rendered, it is the clients responsibility to represent themselves at court hearings. Our office often monitors the outcome of these hearings to see if there was anything that could have been done better on our part. In this particular case, our office prepared the documents, filed and confirmed the hearing and submitted working copies for the judge. Despite all of the preparation that our office put into the case, the client and the other party agreed at both the Ex Parte and Temporary Orders hearings to dismiss the action and the judge signed off on their agreement. The client called our office to complain about the outcomes but failed to provide this critical information when she demanded that the paralegal tell her why things didn't go as she had expected. Of the approximately $900 the the client is upset about having to pay, $291 represents the fee for filing for a divorce in Washington State. Our office strives to provide the requested services without unnecessary charges, however, we have no control over the costs required by the courts. Our office strives to provide the best possible experience for our clients and is always willing to go the extra mile to "Help make things right". We invite you to review the things that other clients have written about us and then contact our office and find out for yourself the expertise and services we have to offer.
