With me every step of the way

Mr. Lusk is professional, compassionate, and dedicated to getting the right outcome. He fought for me every step of the way during the two long years of my divorce and custody case, successfully navigating me through my divorce, restraining order, and child custody. He kept me focused when my emotion...s threatened to overwhelm me, and he kept me informed every step of the way. He returned every phone call, text message, and email promptly. Mr. Lusk was very through and gave me the best recommendations for my situation. The family legal system is a dark maze of uncertainties and surprise twists, and I am so thankful I had Mr. Lusk by my side the whole way. I will continue to seek his counsel if needed in the future and would recommend him to anyone in need of a family lawyer in CA.

Guaranteed Loss!

Hire him if you want to lose both the case and your money. I have unfortunately hired Mr. Lusk, and he wasn't only inexperienced, but did not prepare well for the hearing. He failed to convince the judge of everything we wanted to prove, while the opposing party's succeeded in hitting all the notes. ...Not because he was very strong, but because Mr. Lusk was out of tone. I feel very sorry for hiring this inexperienced kid, because my gardener would have helped me in court more than Mr. Lusk did.

To read this review is very disappointing considering the time spent discussing the case, explaining the different options, and explaining the possible outcomes with this client. I was hired by this client to represent him in all matters regarding his case. All of the services provided were extensive and complete while complying with the client’s wishes. Multiple conversations, emails, and documents were exchanged while completing all of the filings and paperwork in anticipation of a quick, efficient, and economical ending to his dissolution. At the hearing I represented this client, informed him of the possible outcomes, and we addressed the concerns we wanted to present to the judge. At the hearing we presented our concerns to the judge and the judge considered them but the outcome was not what this client wanted and in turn he blamed me for the outcome after the fact and ended my representation of him. Even though I had informed this client of the possible outcomes he was still angry because it did not turn out the way he wanted it to. I have contacted this client and discussed the issues with him and reminded him of everything we discussed but unfortunately we have agreed to disagree about the content and outcome of the hearing. I take pride in representing my clients and I represent each one of them zealously and diligently and the outcome is often dependent on the facts and issues in the case. If I cannot help with your case or I am not the right fit, it shouldn’t be personal. If you want an attorney who is honest and realistically sets client expectations, I am a good place to start your search.
