Posted by Matt | February 02, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Child Custody

Family Court

Lucky has been my lawyer for about a year now, helping me get a better parenting plan so I could see my daughter more. He was relentless on getting us what we needed so that I could be a better father. His work was greatly appreciated I could not have asked for a better lawyer. There is still some wo...rk to be done but he has my trust that he will do the best he can to help us.

He has been helping me since 2012

My case has been really complicated with the continuing ex's false accusations to obtain a full child custody. I am very relieved that I have Lucky on my side to advocate me. He is well mannered and professional in handling the case. He has demonstrated his outstanding and reliable skills at the depo...sition process when he finally discovered the ex's false allegations. Now he is working on the similar case for me because the ex has filed another false allegations. I am really exhausted by what she is doing but I have a faith in Lucky that he will help me to reveal the truth again. Thanks Lucky

Dependable, reliable, great lawyer and I highly recommend him...

Lucky has helped me navigate the complexities of a highly contested divorce, with grace, style, and knowledge of the inner workings of the judicial system. My divorce is as bad as it gets and he has done a fantastic job for me and my son. Lucky is a solid A+ and I highly recommend his services if you... need a divorce lawyer.

Amazing Attorney - I will always have him on speed dial

I obtained Lucky's services for what I thought was going to be a very long drawn out process over a revised parenting plan. Lucky proved quickly to me that he had so much knowledge about my "situation" and explained what could or could not happen. Lucky resolved my parenting plan, and it turned out w...ay better than I could have hoped. He is a very genuine person, who showed and proved his strengths to get my case done thoroughly and fast.

Grandparents have no rights! Depends on your attorney!

Mr. Lufkin has been very forthcoming and honest from the first time we spoke. He told us that our case would be extremely difficult but not impossible. He gave us the approximate cost our case could accrue and he was spot on! Lucky is very aware of every phone call, email and any extra costs that ...arose during our custody battle and did not charge us for any unnecessary costs. He kept all correspondence to us vie e-mail, phone or mail direct and to the point. The only frustrating thing that I can say really does not have to do with Mr. Lufkin. When you hire an attorney you must remember that they are dealing with the judicial system and we all know that it is a very slow process getting a speedy trial with the over crowded courts. I would get frustrated with Mr. Lufkin when I didn't get an immediate response. With that said, I had to remember I was not the only client he was working with and he was not sitting around waiting for me to call and time is money, which we were very conscious of from the beginning. When Mr. Lufkin did speak with us he was very personable and listened to all of our concerns and answered any questions we had so that we understood the answers and didn't speak in Lawyer verbiage. Mr. Lufkin has appeared in front of Judges and Commissioners on our behalf and he has prevailed every time. He sticks to the facts of the case and consults with us before and after he meets with the Judge or Commissioner. Our final court day is a few months away. Mr. Lufkin and his team (Kim especially) have had our granddaughters best interest at heart from the beginning. If we lose it wont be from lack of trying or persistence on Luckys' part. A personal note about Mr. Lufkin.....a lawsuit can be very stressful, costly, time consuming not to mention frustrating, because in todays world we want everything yesterday. Mr. Lufkin stayed on course regardless of our emotional ups and downs through this process and kept us on course as well. I would hire Mr. Lufkin again without hesitation. Roxanne and Mitch
