Very Efficient and Extremely Competent Lawyer

Luke represented my son in an unfounded assault case and provided excellent guidance and detailed information throughout the entire ordeal. Once Luke was retained, he made us feel very confident and comfortable with the process and always responded to any concerns we had in a very timely manner. Du...e to Luke's attention to detail of the facts in the case, our case was dismissed, which is exactly what we hoped would happen. We would not hesitate to hire Luke again for any situation, if ever needed in the future.

One of the Best

I trust Luke 100%. I recently got in a bad situation and I had no experience with lawyers, so I did some research on the internet. I found Luke, and he had great reviews, so I tried him out. Best decision I ever made. He was very knowledgeable about the laws, didn't judge me, always kept me well info...rmed and advised me of the pros and cons of each legal decision I made. His rates were incredibly reasonable, and he even undercut his hours to bring down the bill to an even manageable number that matched how much I had in the trust account. He is a pleasure to work with, and he knows his stuff. If you have a problem in the Pullman area, call Luke. You won't be sorry.

Caring, honest, highly knowledgable and professional as well as personable - Luke will deliver the best possible result.

The first thing I can say about Luke Baumgarten is that he genuinely cares about each and every one of his clients. Combine that with his vast knowledge of both sides of the law from his experience as a prosecutor as well as a criminal defense attorney and you can not go wrong with Luke as your atto...rney. Luke represented me in what turned out to be a somewhat unusual DUI case that took over a year to play out. From my very first contact with him, I felt safe and secure that I was in the hands of someone who was going to do his very best to help me through my situation. He never gave me false hope, was always honest about his views on my case, telling me exactly what to expect and when to expect it and worked tirelessly to get me the best possible outcome. Luke was always open to listen to my concerns, frustrations and any ideas that I came up with about my case. He would return messages and emails at his very first convenience, usually within hours, and if I did not hear from him right away, I knew that it was because he was busy working on someone else’s case who needed him more than I did at that particular moment. It was not uncommon to receive an email from Luke at 1 o’clock in the morning, just to answer a question or put my mind at ease about something I was worried about. He assured me time and time again that he would get me through my really scary situation and I would be ok, and he did. He has an amazing ability to weed through all the legal jargon and find the small details that can build a workable defense. He found one small, improperly executed procedure in the police report of my case that was enough to have my administrative case by the DOL dismissed. This same detail was also enough to convince the prosecutor that my blood sample results would likely be inadmissible in a trial and therefore Luke was able to negotiate to reduce what could have been a very serious second DUI to a Negligent Driving I. Because my case lasted so long, I got to know Luke as more than an attorney. He is a caring compassionate man, who puts high value on family, integrity and people in general. He is dedicated to his profession and his clients and does his very best to be supportive and encouraging, while at the same time, is realistic and honest. At the conclusion of my court appearance and sentencing, I realized that over the past year, Luke had become my safe port in a storm and the only sadness I had that the case had come to an end, was that I was going to lose touch with him and I would miss him and the encouragement and support he has given me throughout. Though he tells me I would have been fine without him, I do not agree with that. From my first phone conversation with him, I never doubted that Luke knew exactly what he was doing. I had complete faith and trust in him and I knew that as long as I listened to his advice and followed his recommendations, my bad situation would turn out the best way that it possibly could, and that is exactly what happened. In a day and age when many attorneys can be viewed in a bad light, I can honestly say that I have never heard anything negative about Luke from other clients, law enforcement, probation officers, treatment facilitators or members of the judicial system. Everyone says the same thing; Luke is a really decent, nice guy who is very good at his job. Luke Baumgarten is an amazing individual as well as an attorney and I have the utmost respect for him. I highly recommend him to anyone in need of legal representation.

Navigating the legal system of an MIP/MIC

Getting a phone call on a Sunday morning and having your child on the other end sobbing uncontrolably as my Child had never received a speeding ticket in the 1st 5 years of driving but was now facing an MIC charge. A phone call I am sure that would have brought any Parent to their knees as you are tr...ying to get out of them what has happened and everything goes through your head, someone died in a car crash... My Child was devastated as this is something we all think and pray as Parents that we have given them all the tools possible to face the BIG world as they go off to College but sometimes it just doesn't happen that way. We found Mr. Baumgarten and upon hiring him it felt like the world was lifted off of us as Parents. He was very informative up front as to every step that our child was going to be going through and Our part as Parents can NOT just stop because they are out of the house and off to College. Mr. Baumgarten was ALWAYS available by phone or email. He was prompt in returning every call and email that our child had along with any Parent questions we had as well. Mr. Baumgarten would come HIGHLY recommended by this Mom and Dad! Regardless of the outcome of your case you can be assured that everything that is possible for Mr. Baumgarten to do will be done and your child would be in Excellent hands!!
