Luke did so much to fight for and defend me in my dui case. I needed the charges reduced in order to ensure keeping my job. communication with him was excellent and always timely. He took care of all details and steps or directions I needed thru this stressful time. I thank him so much. I consider h...im a friend now and glad he was in my corner for me.

Luke was extremely helpful throughout the duration of my case. Never once did I feel like I did not know what was going on, because he communicates every detain very clearly and thoroughly throughout the process. Luke was able to resolve my case with pretty much the best outcome possible, and for t...hat i am forever grateful.

When I first came to college I unfortunately was charged with two MIPs within ten days of each other. To me there seemed to be no hope because I was not very familiar with law. WSU had an attorney that students are allowed to see who told me the same thing that I had assumed. He told me that I was pr...etty much done for and should just give up and take the charges straight up. Luckily I decided to get a second opinion from luke who was incredibly helpful and optimistic about my case. He made the long and lengthy criminal justice system that was unknown and scary to me at the time a lot less painful. Luke is very direct and helpful with everything he says and kept me very updated with every new event and turn that my case took. He sat me down and made sure I knew that this was not the end of the world and that the case could very well turn out to be not as bad as I think. Soon I felt calmer knowing that I had the experience and trustworthiness of Luke Baumgarten to help me through the legal process. Eventually after getting the discovery Luke found multiple problems with the way the police handled both situations and got me a plea bargain of 1 MIP dismissal and MIP deferred and being able to have it expunged from my record in the future. Then recently I was charged with a DUI my senior year of college. DUIs are much more serious charges and I found that out quickly, they are taken very seriously in Whitman county. I called Luke as soon as I was arrested and talked with him before the questioning right after I was arrested for DUI. Once again Luke was incredibly helpful even before I hired him again, and he was extremely helpful and knowledgable about the DUI process and everything I would possibly have to go through after this charge. Luke didn't promise anything that he couldn't deliver but did promise he could help with every step of the DUI process even if he couldn't get the charge knocked down. Once again though Luke got my DUI which was a criminal charge down to a Negligent driving in the second degree which is an infraction not a criminal charge. I cannot stress enough how helpful and amazing Luke has been in ensuring my future and I know you will see that too. I would recommend him to anyone and recommend him to everyone I know. So if you get a charge sit down with luke for a consultation and you will see the genuine helpful attitude that I got to experience from Luke Baumgarten.

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.
