Review Lucas McWethy

Lucas comes through as a top tier attorney again and again!

Posted by MichaelMon Jul 18 2016

I had a really rocky issue involving the new justices in Anacortes, WA with a marijuana compliance issue that the now previous retired judge had excluded from my probation upon sentencing. He had handled my original case (DUI defense - in which i got a favorable outcome given the difficult circumstance) and although this time really looked like it was going to be a rough ride he was able to clear a smooth path through for me to sail calmly through. He was able to get the court to agree to the original plea bargain and recognize the retired judges order (What looked like a near impossible feat he did with ease and gusto!). I really hope never to have to hire a lawyer again, but if I do I keep Lucas's card in my wallet because I know given the options he is clearly the best option. I highly recommend him to anyone facing difficult times as he is very knowledgeable and doesn't treat you just as a passing source of income but as what you are a paying client who deserves customer service which he goes above and beyond to provide. Even when I would get confused he was very good at explaining everything including any options I had to resolve the matter. Thank you Lucas! You really are a step above the rest. #DUIdefense #MarijuanaProbationViolation #CourtComplianceissues -Michael (Nikkoli for those friends that may be looking and in need of a really good and knowledgeable defense attorney)

Amazing.... Helped me in my time of need, Labor Day Weekend of all days!!!!

Posted by johnSat Sep 05 2015

Cops used scare tactics on me and wanted to turn me from a witness to a suspect. Lucas assisted me on Labor Day weekend (when he didn't have to) and reassured me everything would be fine. Explained my rights and gave me advice that really helped me. Lucas, from the bottom of my heart, thank you. You have no idea just how much stress you've relieved me of.
