Criminal or family matters, you matter to Lucky
Lucky fights hard and gets results. He was able to get the state to drop charges and get me consistent visitation with my son. He is on your side and will do what he can to help. I highly recommend him for any criminal or family matter you encounter!

Without Lucky all would have been lost
At every turn lucky has been awesome. He's been my lawyer since April of 2017 with his help I was able to defeat a temporary protection order and get a good temporary parenting plan. He continues to work on my divorce. At every turn I have been grateful that Lucky is my lawyer. He has explained every step of what we need to do. One of the things I like is almost every time we talk he asks how the kids are doing.

If you feel the world is imploding! Get Lucky!
There is no way around it, divorce sucks and so does the family court system. My spouse and I split because she "wasn't in love anymore". When I wouldn't give her everything, accusations of all types of abuse were made. Three different trials in three different cities. Lucky was first my criminal defense attorney that eventually took over the divorce side. the two+ years was long. I thought it would never end. Having so much emotion, I wasn't always rational. Lucky took over. We succeeded on all trials (one didn't even make it to the actual trial because the Prosecuting attorney had no case and bluffed they're way thru always trying to get me to plead out). It is sad that false accusers have no repercussions in family court. Lucky made sure everything was done and because of the history of questionable (false) accusations, he made sure there were certain things written to protect me from future issues. If it wasn't for him, I probably would have no contact with my kids. Seven years later, the kids now live with me. Thank you Lucky!

Family Court
Lucky has been my lawyer for about a year now, helping me get a better parenting plan so I could see my daughter more. He was relentless on getting us what we needed so that I could be a better father. His work was greatly appreciated I could not have asked for a better lawyer. There is still some work to be done but he has my trust that he will do the best he can to help us.

He has been helping me since 2012
My case has been really complicated with the continuing ex's false accusations to obtain a full child custody. I am very relieved that I have Lucky on my side to advocate me. He is well mannered and professional in handling the case. He has demonstrated his outstanding and reliable skills at the deposition process when he finally discovered the ex's false allegations. Now he is working on the similar case for me because the ex has filed another false allegations. I am really exhausted by what she is doing but I have a faith in Lucky that he will help me to reveal the truth again. Thanks Lucky

Grandparents have no rights! Depends on your attorney!
Mr. Lufkin has been very forthcoming and honest from the first time we spoke. He told us that our case would be extremely difficult but not impossible. He gave us the approximate cost our case could accrue and he was spot on! Lucky is very aware of every phone call, email and any extra costs that arose during our custody battle and did not charge us for any unnecessary costs. He kept all correspondence to us vie e-mail, phone or mail direct and to the point. The only frustrating thing that I can say really does not have to do with Mr. Lufkin. When you hire an attorney you must remember that they are dealing with the judicial system and we all know that it is a very slow process getting a speedy trial with the over crowded courts. I would get frustrated with Mr. Lufkin when I didn't get an immediate response. With that said, I had to remember I was not the only client he was working with and he was not sitting around waiting for me to call and time is money, which we were very conscious of from the beginning. When Mr. Lufkin did speak with us he was very personable and listened to all of our concerns and answered any questions we had so that we understood the answers and didn't speak in Lawyer verbiage. Mr. Lufkin has appeared in front of Judges and Commissioners on our behalf and he has prevailed every time. He sticks to the facts of the case and consults with us before and after he meets with the Judge or Commissioner. Our final court day is a few months away. Mr. Lufkin and his team (Kim especially) have had our granddaughters best interest at heart from the beginning. If we lose it wont be from lack of trying or persistence on Luckys' part. A personal note about Mr. Lufkin.....a lawsuit can be very stressful, costly, time consuming not to mention frustrating, because in todays world we want everything yesterday. Mr. Lufkin stayed on course regardless of our emotional ups and downs through this process and kept us on course as well. I would hire Mr. Lufkin again without hesitation. Roxanne and Mitch

Amazing Attorney - I will always have him on speed dial
I obtained Lucky's services for what I thought was going to be a very long drawn out process over a revised parenting plan. Lucky proved quickly to me that he had so much knowledge about my "situation" and explained what could or could not happen. Lucky resolved my parenting plan, and it turned out way better than I could have hoped. He is a very genuine person, who showed and proved his strengths to get my case done thoroughly and fast.

Dependable, reliable, great lawyer and I highly recommend him...
Lucky has helped me navigate the complexities of a highly contested divorce, with grace, style, and knowledge of the inner workings of the judicial system. My divorce is as bad as it gets and he has done a fantastic job for me and my son. Lucky is a solid A+ and I highly recommend his services if you need a divorce lawyer.

Very helpful
I called his law office, and Lucky gave me great advice on the phone. It became clear through our phone conversation that I didn't need lawyer representation, but he still walked me through the steps needed to address my issue. For reference, I had a foreign divorce and was asking what, if anything, I needed to do to register this with Washington State. He outlined all of the things I could do and walked me through how to take care of it. I feel much better having spoke with him.

The right man for the job
I hired Mr. Lufkin represent me at trial for misdemeanor domestic violence charge after firing another attorney who insisted I accept a deal or face "substantial risk of conviction." He reviewed my case and immediately began formulating the various angels to approach a defense. I saw something in him I didn't see in the previous attorney and that was a man who was ready to go to trial. He was fast on his feet dealing with the ever changing circumstances in my case but he told me it was a game of chicken and the deals would get better and better as we got closer to trial. The prosecution called four times the night before trying to get us to accept a deal much better than one offered initially but I declined. I was innocent of the charges wanted the vindication of a trial on the merits of the case. I was critical of him in some facets of the trial as I felt he let two of the witnesses off way too easy. After the jury returned a NOT GUILTY verdict after deliberating for a mere 15 minutes, I realized he was watching them the jury whole time. He knew when he'd won a point and he would retreat. Four of the six jurors even came by to shake my hands and wish me good luck! Mr. Lufkin is a very talented attorney and extremely fair with his fee structures. His firm only accepts DV cases associated with divorces but you do not have to use him as your divorce attorney to use him for your DV case. I highly recommend him to anyone who finds themselves in need of an excellent divorce attorney or DV attorney. In fact, I fired my divorce attorney and hired his San Diego firm to finish my case.

The Never Ending Divorce -- Ended!
When I called Lucky nearly 3 years ago, I had no idea what to expect or what I was doing. The first thing that I said was "Uh, I think I need a divorce" and he responded with "what does that mean?" Lucky listened to my rants and patiently tried to help me sort out what I needed to do. He was much more realistic about what to expect from my spouse (divorce brings out the REAL crazy in people) than I was and I needed that advice more times than not. Lucky was always correct about what to expect and he was very sympathetic to my misfortune when I decided to be an optimist, instead of listening to him. My divorce took over 11 months to finalize because of many, many challenges. Lucky and I were in contact at least weekly, if not more. Recently though, some unfinished business regarding the property that I obtained in the divorce came up, and Lucky squeezed me in to his schedule and helped me resolve this as well. Every time I speak to Lucky, he gives me the time that I need to explain myself and is fully engaged with me. The man has worked tirelessly on my behalf, while juggling many other responsibilities, so when there are communication lull's, I know that they are not for a lack of effort on his part! I would strongly recommend Lucky, if you're lost and you don't know where to get started, or what you want to do about your situation. I don't believe that Lucky is an advocate for divorce; he's an advocate for his clients and wants the best outcome out of the situation for them. I know that this was true in my personal experience.
