THANK YOU LUCAS!!!!!!!

I could write a novel about how happy I am with the services received from Lucas & Paulette. I was referred to him by a highly touted, more expensive firm for an old out of state DUI in warrant status. After my first phone call I was glad they referred me. Smart, compassionate, responsive, understand...ing, affordable, the list goes on and on. If I felt discouraged or confused he would take the time to explain. He didn't sugarcoat anything and was honest and up front about his expectations. I think the result was better then we both expected. DISMISSED THIS MORNING!!!!! EXCELLENT JOB AND THANK YOU GUYS SO MUCH!!!!!

Professional, Skilled, Knowledgeable

I hired Lucas as legal defense when some false allegations were made against me. He gave me a free consultation, and immediately advised me of what my course of action should be. When Lucas represented me in court, he was able to pull up previous cases that were similar in nature, and ultimately had ...the case dismissed. After witnessing dozens of other people's lawyers fail in court over and over, I realized that I was super fortunate to have found Lucas. I would definitely hire him again in the future.

Best Lawyer For Criminal & Traffic!!!

I have hired Lucas D. Mcwethy legal services countless times and he has never let me down. It is quite impressive how much he cares about people and loves his job! Lucas will often take my calls to answer simple questions as well and that means a lot to me so I refer anyone I can to his firm. I am a ...small business owner and he has helped my company as well. Lucas will even do research for me if he doesn't have an immediate answer and he always calls me right back if he is busy, absolutely awesome customer service you dont get from most lawyers. Every time I have had negative encounters with Police, Lucas is there to help me win! When my room mate needed a lawyer, Lucas is there to help. When one of my employees needed a quality lawyer because public defenders are a joke, Lucas again was there to help the courts see the facts to win the case. When the judge needs to be convinced of the truth and the facts of a case, no one is better and cares more about people than Lucas. When I wanted to expand my business, Lucas was there to answer all my questions. Over 15-20 years ago I received a criminal charge for reckless driving and Lucas got that completely wiped off my criminal record. When I was given a ticket by an officer who lied, Lucas came to my defense and proved my case to the courts and once again he had it dismissed. When I received a ticket on my car which I dont drive for expired tabs, by the same corrupt Police who were harassing me, again Lucas got that ticket dismissed and won my case! When you have questions about Police abusing there authority or just a simple traffic matter, Lucas can help you win your case or negotiate on your behalf the very most positive outcome. Today I have no criminal record and no tickets on my driving record all thanks to Lucas. Today I have a small business legally licensed with employees who know they have a lawyer they can count on if there ever approached by corrupt Police. Unfortunately we live in a world where citizens see more corrupt Police every day than good lawyers defending your rights. A Public Defender is almost always never going to get the same results that as a good lawyer like Lucas can. Always video record Police using a offsite streaming video app, or else the police may just crush your phone and destroy any evidence you may have of them violating your rights. If you need the best lawyer around, The Law Firm of Lucas D. Mcwethy is your best resource. Call Lucas and ask him what he can do for you!!

Criminal defense

I had been charged with a negligent driving 2. I contacted Lucas. We had a consultation. I felt very comfortable hiring Lucas to represent me. On our day of court Lucas handled everything with the prosecutor and my charge was dramatically reduced. I have a clean driving record now. Would definitely ...hire Lucas.

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

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 circumstan...ce) 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)
