When I had legal trouble, the very first thing I did was search for a lawyer to help me sort through the matter. A friend of mine referred me to Luke Baumgarten, and I must say that it was the greatest decision I made to hire him. Luke is a very personable individual, which made me feel at ease i...n a situation that was pretty frightening. He never judged me negatively for my specific infraction, and assured me that individuals that have been in my position before went on to do great things in their lives. Affordability might be an issue for some people, but for the work Luke put into my case, I received a great bargain. There was a flat fee to hire Luke, and he put in more time in my case than I would have thought, going above and beyond my expectations. He kept on top of my case and I received emails or phone calls keeping me up to date with everything that was going on. Luke also explained various points of my case to me in ways that were clear, alleviating any confusion. When matters required my presence in court, he carefully explained to me do's and don'ts, and was able to work a great plea bargain for my case. Another thing about Luke is that he is very passionate about what he does, and is very knowledgeable. He even kept up to date with any current decisions in cases in the news that would affect my case in anyway. Also, any issues that could affect my case the prosecutor might bring up, or things that would us out for the case. When making the decision on whether or not to take the plea bargain, he made very straightforward contrast grids, so the decisions were clear. As stated in the title, though nobody expects to get in trouble, things can happen. If things do happen, I implore anyone looking for an attorney to seek out guidance from Luke Baumgarten.

I was charged with a DUI and enlisted the services of Mr. Baumgarten. I could not have asked for any more from an attorney. Mr. Baumgarten was the consummate professional. He always took the time to sit down and explain the information, discoveries, and updates in my case. He displayed an innate know...ledge of the law and always made himself available for questions or concerns. Mr. Baumgarten made me feel as though my case was always his top priority and fought hard in my defense. For a DUI case with my circumstances, Mr. Baumgarten succeed in getting me a plea deal that was more than I could ever ask for. I am confident that without his help, knowledge, and guidance, I would not have had the fortunate outcome to my case that I did. If you are looking for an attorney who will do everything in his power to fight for your case, keep you up to date, and who genuinely cares about you and your well being, you cannot find a better attorney than Mr. Baumgarten.

WE HIRED MR. BAUMGARTEN WHEN OUR "COLLEGE STUDENT" SON WAS ARRESTED IN WHITMAN CO. AND CHARGED WITH A COUPLE OF MISDEMEANOR CRIMES AND TRAFFIC INFRACTIONS . FROM THE VERY BEGINNING I WAS IMPRESSED WITH HIS HONESTY , KNOWLEDGE, AND PROFESSIONALISM. OVER THE 3 MONTH PROCESS HE WAS VERY RESPONSIVE AND ...KEPT US CONSISTENTLY INFORMED THROUGH EACH STEP. THE END RESULT IS ALL CHARGES / INFRACTIONS WERE DISMISSED. IF YOU OR A LOVED ONE IS IN NEED OF A CRIMINAL ATTORNEY ,I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND MR. BAUMGARTEN.

When you get a dreaded call from your college student that they've had a run in with the law, the first impulse is to find help. Luckily for us Luke Baumgarten rose to the top both in internet visibility and reviews from other clients. Being that his work is in a college town he's built a business ...that caters to families like ours where the parents are concerned but not familiar with the county's laws and practices. From our first conversation with Luke, we knew he was the man for the job. He walked us through the process and was very thorough as to what our expectations should be. Our daughter hired him and authorized him to communicate with us. As a result we were kept apprised about important dates and what would transpire. The best one could hope for is someone who under promises and over delivers. That is exactly what happened in our case. After collecting the information that the county had, he found the holes, including issues that made the arrest questionable. His research included going out to the "scene of the crime" and coming to conclusions that had the county dismiss the case. We hope not to need Luke's services in the future but would recommend him without hesitation.

The last thing that the parent of a freshman in college wants to deal with is their child's arrest. Not 5 hours after we left our son at WSU he was arrested for trespassing into Martin Stadium. We were incredibly disappointed and upset with him but also concerned about helping him to preserve his l...ong term record. Luke is well connected in Pullman and with the prosecutors and police. He has been able to achieve a fair and reasonable result for our son and has done so much to put our minds at ease. We feel very fortunate that our son's brush with the law will not negatively impact his long term success but has been a good learning opportunity. We could not have achieved this result without Luke and his expertise. He communicated directly with our son, but after having him sign a release he also kept us apprised of what was going on. He is professional, warm and very comforting for parents who are dealing with an upsetting and traumatic situation. We would recommend Luke to anyone and offer him our highest praise and gratitude.
