I have never hired a lawyer before, so I was very skeptical at first. I called about 6 different lawyers before I called Luke, but none seemed to give me the confidence that they would do their job well like I got from Mr. Baumgarten. He was not the cheapest, but just talking to him somehow gave me t...he confidence that he had integrity, honesty and enough knowledge about the law to work effectively on my behalf. I am glad I listened to my gut, because he more than came through for me when the case was finished and all was said and done. One really good thing about Luke is that he will keep you updated, fill in at court without you needing to be there and he will keep you advised on all possible avenues and outcomes regarding your case. For instance, he came through for me with a plea bargain that halved much of my original mandatory minimum sentence. He also came through for me when the DOL made a mistake and gave me two years of license suspension instead of just one that was originally agreed to in the original suspension hearing. Luke caught this mistake and worked, without charging me extra, to correct it back to the one year suspension. It is this attention to details Luke has that also gives me the confidence to recommend him without reservation. I've never written a recommendation before, but I can say that as someone who has had first-hand experience with Luke, I can definitely advise anyone to hire him without any reservation. P.S. I was not paid to write this. I am only sharing my own experiences with, and opinions regarding, Mr. Baumgarten.

Our son was arrested for DUI by campus police at WSU, and refused to blow. After spending a night in jail and then talking to a high pressure, high priced attorney from Spokane, our son found Luke Baumgarten. Luke is hard working and reasonably priced. He explained the charges against our son and hi...s options, kept us informed, and answered all our questions. Luke sent an impressive plea offer to the county prosecutor, and our son’s charges were reduced to negligent driving 1. Our son had total confidence in Luke, when he most needed someone (as we are in Seattle). I would not hesitate to recommend Luke Baumgarten to anyone facing a DUI.

Our son received a DUI. We did research online for an attorney and Luke was highly rated by other parents. WOW!! They were right! Luke is absolutely wonderful. He promptly answered our questions, reassured us, helped our son deal with the legal and emotional aspect of a DUI, handled all the hear...ings and gave great advice. He was able to decrease the charge to reckless driving. I would recommend Luke to any parent who needs help with a legal problem in Pullman, Washington.

As a parent of a college freshman, we all naturally worry about our sons and daughters adjusting to collegiate life away from home. Imagine the stress to find out your son was arrested. While only a misdemeanor offense, the unsettling situation weighed heavy on the shoulders of both my wife and I. ... Finding Luke Baumgarten was a blessing I won't forget. Luke was immediately responsive. He carefully explained the details and outlined the process. He was, at once, both professional and comforting. He asked hard questions and followed up on small points and facts. He built a strong case and through his due diligence, got my son's charges dropped. It is an old cliche to say 'this guy really cares' but for two distraught parents and a very worried son - it sure felt that way.
