John Lucky Lufkin

There is no way around it, divorce sucks and so does the family court system. My spouse and I split because she "wasn't in love anymore". When I wouldn't give her everything, accusations of all types of abuse were made. Three different trials in three different cities. Lucky was first my criminal def...ense attorney that eventually took over the divorce side. the two+ years was long. I thought it would never end. Having so much emotion, I wasn't always rational. Lucky took over. We succeeded on all trials (one didn't even make it to the actual trial because the Prosecuting attorney had no case and bluffed they're way thru always trying to get me to plead out). It is sad that false accusers have no repercussions in family court. Lucky made sure everything was done and because of the history of questionable (false) accusations, he made sure there were certain things written to protect me from future issues. If it wasn't for him, I probably would have no contact with my kids. Seven years later, the kids now live with me. Thank you Lucky!

I hired Mr. Lufkin represent me at trial for misdemeanor domestic violence charge after firing another attorney who insisted I accept a deal or face "substantial risk of conviction." He reviewed my case and immediately began formulating the various angels to approach a defense. I saw something in h...im I didn't see in the previous attorney and that was a man who was ready to go to trial. He was fast on his feet dealing with the ever changing circumstances in my case but he told me it was a game of chicken and the deals would get better and better as we got closer to trial. The prosecution called four times the night before trying to get us to accept a deal much better than one offered initially but I declined. I was innocent of the charges wanted the vindication of a trial on the merits of the case. I was critical of him in some facets of the trial as I felt he let two of the witnesses off way too easy. After the jury returned a NOT GUILTY verdict after deliberating for a mere 15 minutes, I realized he was watching them the jury whole time. He knew when he’d won a point and he would retreat. Four of the six jurors even came by to shake my hands and wish me good luck! Mr. Lufkin is a very talented attorney and extremely fair with his fee structures. His firm only accepts DV cases associated with divorces but you do not have to use him as your divorce attorney to use him for your DV case. I highly recommend him to anyone who finds themselves in need of an excellent divorce attorney or DV attorney. In fact, I fired my divorce attorney and hired his San Diego firm to finish my case.
