Lucas is an excellent lawyer. He is intelligent, thoughtful, and incredibly hard-working. He is straightforward, strategic, and practical and he communicates in a way that makes understanding the process so much simpler. It is easy to build trust and rapport with Lucas . Lucas represented me in a personal injury case in which I was the victim of an automobile accident. The road to recovery was difficult and I cannot imagine how much more difficult it would have been without Lucas. I always felt safe and protected and it freed up a lot of mental space in my life to focus on healing. Lucas and his equally fantastic assistant Rebecca secured me a settlement that was far beyond my initial expectations. Their compassion and empathy was invaluable at a time when I needed it most. I cannot recommend Lucas and Rebecca enough.

Lucas represented me in a personal injury case after the vehicle I was driving was hit by a drunk driver who crossed the double yellow line. The opposing insurance company was very difficult to work with and tried to stonewall and stall the case numerous times. But Lucas never gave up and fought tooth and nail for the settlement that I deserved right up until the end. All the while he kept me well informed and was always a pleasure to speak too. I cannot recommend him enough!

Lucas is an amazing attorney. I spent weeks searching for an attorney to handle an issue with my Grandfather's Estate and no one could help me. However, when I contacted Lucas he assured me that he would help and would be able to take on the case. There was no hesitation. Lucas stood by me every step of the way and never backed down when any complications or issues arose. He is extremely professional and makes his clients a top priority. I never had any doubts that he would not keep his word and give my case 1000%. Becky, his paralegal, is equally amazing at her job and always keeps in contact with updates. I could not recommend a better team!

Lucas helped me through a tough time after I was hit head on by a drunk driver who crossed the median on I 90. He was there right from the beginning. I never would have been able to navigate all the paper work, Thankfully we had a successful outcome in a fairly short amount of time and I can put it all behind me. I would definitely recommend Lucas for a personal injury case.

Words really can not express how satisfied we are with Lucas, and also Becky, who is in a class of her own. We came to Lucas with a property issue that was an absolute mess, and that is an understatement. Lucas told us at our first meeting that our file was out in sight and he would continue to work on it until it was resolved. This was a long , hard battle, but throughout it all, we were kept informed as to the next step moving forward. Lucas and Becky always answered any questions we had and always made sure we understood the entire process. We would very highly recommend Lucas. He is excellent in all he does and a great person to deal with. Thanks to everyone we dealt with at the firm. Brenda and I can’t thank you enough for everything.

Mr.Lucas Mihuta is a motivated, personable, & extremely knowledgable attorney. I experienced an unfortunate situation that required the caliber of individual that, Lucas is. If it were not for his attention to detail , in depth legal knowledge, and motivation it is without any doubt the outcome for me would have been very different.

Lucas represented my spouse and I in the purchase of our home. I appreciated that from the beginning, he was clear about what to expect in terms of our contact with him. He was helpful and accommodating which I honestly did not expect. He always had our interest in mind. We felt we had an advocate at the ready; exactly what you want in an attorney. He explained things to us clearly, was concise and always kind to us. Consulted with us regarding timing and followed through with addressing our concerns. He made happen, exactly what we wanted to happen, exactly when we wanted it to happen, even when we changed our minds. His fee was fair and what he stated it would be up front, is what it was in the end. I felt we got a bargain for the service he provided. He or his assistant returned calls in a reasonable time frame. He's personable as well, which helped as we were a bit anxious at times. I highly recommend his services if you need an attorney. I'm glad I found him and I would use him again if I ever need attorney services in the future.

My wife and I have hired Lucas to help our family work through legal issues on a few occasions recently. Each time, Lucas Mihuta has represented us professionally with the highest level of legal expertise. Just recently, Lucas helped us receive payment from an out of state company when the company was refusing to pay. He also recently helped us finalize a Legal Will to provide security for our 3 children as my wife and I get closer to retirement. Overall, Lucas has always conveyed the highest degree of legal expertise and has exceeded our expectations every time. He and his team are people you can count on.

Lucas worked with my husband and I on the purchase and sale of our home (2 years apart), as well as our will and other estate planning details. Lucas is a gem of a lawyer. Both he and his assistant were just so easy to work with, thoroughly explaining details we were unclear on and staying accessible throughout each interaction. With our estate planning, specifically, he brought a number of important details to the table we'd not considered previously that made us even more confident we were working with the right person. We've already recommended Lucas' expertise to dear friends and will undoubtedly continue to do so.
