I hired Luke Baumgarten after being arrested in Pullman for DUI. He was recommended to me by attorneys outside of the area who spoke highly of his reputation. Luke was extremely professional and knowledgeable about the process. He explained things very clearly. Without "overpromising," he worked th...rough the approaches we would take with the case, the potential outcomes, and what actions I could take to help my standing with the court. He was always very prepared and efficient with his (and my) time, and was accessible when I had questions. He tracked the details / dates well to make sure nothing slipped. I believe his past experience in the Whitman County prosecutors' office and knowledge of the county court system and personnel is a real asset for him and his clients. He was aggressive in identifying potential issues with the case and made sure we got the best possible outcome. I highly recommend Luke for anyone who gets in a tough spot in Whitman County.

We recently had cause to hire Attorney Luke Baumgarten to defend one of our children against a very serious accusation lodged against him in a school setting. He explained the process we were facing and our options in approaching this matter. He was thorough but also compassionate at a time of high ...anxiety for us all. His work demonstrated a thorough review of the matter and all related information and was presented in such a way that we feel confident that we received the best defense possible. He went above and beyond when the situation took an additional twist. As the situation concludes we feel confident that we made the right choice hiring Luke Baumgarten and would highly recommend him to anyone. It is obvious that he is passionate and knowledgeable in regards to the law, school conduct matters and the rights of young people who can be known to put themselves in vulnerable situations.

Our 19yr. old son decided to head over the pass and go to WSU for Halloween..the second the phone rang on Nov.1st at 8am, I knew immediately something was very wrong...It was our son, calling from jail... he'd been there all night. He'd been arrested for DUI.... while I was busy freaking out, my hus...band started researching "Best DUI lawyer in Pullman". He found AVVO - and that lead us to Luke. There is a reason Luke is the highest rated attorney - My husband called Luke that Sunday morning, and Luke returned his message within 15 minutes!! He listened to our account, agreed to represent our son, and set up an appointment to meet with all 3 of us the next day before our son had to appear in court!! When we met, Luke listened attentively and gave us very honest feedback as to what we could expect. He immediately calmed my worst fears. Luke answered every question with genuine concern for our son. I was constantly emailing Luke about various questions that would come up and he always responded within moments..Our son goes to school in Seattle, so Luke went to court representing him. Luke met with the prosecutor and was an outstanding advocate for our son. We sincerely believe nobody could have represented our son better than Luke. While this was an extremely stressful time in our life, Luke's professionalism and expertise in DUI cases helped resolve our son's case in an almost miraculous outcome. We sincerely believe nobody could have done a finer job. AVVO is spot on - Luke is #1 .

Luke Baumgarten and his staff are simply the best. Within the first few minutes of my initial phone consultation, I knew it was Luke who I needed to represent my daughter in her vehicular misdemeanor case. He developed a plan, clearly explained all our options, kept us fully informed throughout, ex...ecuted it perfectly, and case dismissed! Being 5 hours away it was reassuring to know that my daughter was being well taken care of by a true professional. I highly recommend Luke Baumgarten to anyone that may need his services. Lawyers are like doctors, you hope you never need one but when you do. you want the best and that’s who Luke is!
