Luke took care of everything related to my case in a very professional and quick manner. I have never had to deal with a criminal case before, barely been in trouble with the law in the past and so I was very worried and anxious about what was happening to me and what could still potentially happen b...ut Luke not only did everything within his ability to make sure only the minimal consequences would arise from the case, he provided me with a lot of tranquility, explaining every step of the process along the way and educating me about my case and the law itself. I barely had to do anything except for the things the judge would already be asking of me, that I literally would have to do myself one way or another after the fact, which he already knew about and had asked me to me do preemptively, to show good value and seriousness about the case, which only put me in a better standing with the judge and the court. He quite literally did everything else for me, I didn’t even have to go to any hearings until my arraignment. Very affordable given the peace of mind he provided me with. 10/10 would have him represent me again and recommend him to anyone I know needing the same kind of representation. If you need a criminal lawyer, I highly recommend Luke.

I contacted Luke after receiving a DUI. I called after hours and he immediately answered on his personal phone and began to walk me though the steps I needed to take. While working with Luke I experienced an extremely high level of professionalism and he managed to get charged dropped to a simple tra...ffic violation. If anything comes up in the future I won't hesitate to work with Luke again.

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.
