Luke helped me serve no jail and or probation on a misdemeanor DWI - just got a fine -- even though I had two prior Felonies and had done state time. luke keep me in Working and did it all while Working with my financial situation.. The other lawyer I talked to wouldn't even see me without cash payment. If you have a DWI in Elmira and need help call Luke.

My friend referred him to me with an excellent review as well and ever since I contacted him he put my nerves at ease. I found him to be extremely responsive, pro-active, knowledgable, and clear. I appreciate how much he cares for his clients, makes time to know not just the situation, but also them. He is clearly passionate about what he does, and it shows through in his results. He is an amazing resource for legal counsel and as a defense lawyer is one I would trust to obtain the best possible outcome.

Luke came to our aid when my son was facing serious charges at Ithaca College. The school wanted to expel him (it wasn't his first on-campus offense) and the case seemed bleak because the police witnessed the supposed violation. But we called Luke because he had helped advise and guide us with IC's rules and procedures for my son's earlier violation. This time, we went to a Conduct Review Board Hearing, and my son was found not responsible (not guilty). I was so grateful. If you or your child are facing a violation of the IC Code of Conduct - I couldn't recommend Luke more. He was patient with my son, kept me in the loop, and never gave up on us, in the end helping to clear my son's name and get him back in school.

Luke Fenchel is not only an incredible, honest lawyer who will defend you and ensure the best outcome possible for you, he is supportive, knowledgable, and professional. Luke helped me to obtain the best result possible for my case - I was found not responsible for what I was being accused of, and all allegations were dropped with no consequences. Luke was even able to accomplish this without having to take the case to a hearing board, which, while still would likely have resulted in the same outcome, would have been much more expensive, time-consuming, and stressful. Luke is quick to respond to any questions and concerns and keeps you updated as the case unfolds every step of the way. He will fight for you and uses a fact-based approach combined with experience to achieve the best result for you possible. I highly recommend him if you are seeking an attorney who deals with any issues he covers, no complaints whatsoever.

Luke Fenchel represented us in a very thorough, transparent and honest manner. He presents a huge volume of information, is honest about your chances and possible outcomes, and very experienced in the Tompkins County legal system. I definitely recommend him.

Parado-abaya was assigned as law guardian to my four year old. My daughter's father has no self control and anger issues and has done many emotionally damaging things in front of my daughter. Parado-abaya visited my daughter once at my house. I was in the room the entire visit and she did not ask my daughter anything directly about her father. (My daughter would cry and act fearful anytime I told her she was going with her father.) She then visited my daughter once while she was with her father at his house two days before our court date. She told the judge that my daughter wants to see her father more. I think it is wrong that she took the word of a FOUR year old. I also think it was wrong that she asked my daughter while AT her father's house in FRONT of her father. I believe that direct questions should be done in a neutral location such as the lawyer's office, because children do not want to hurt their parent's feelings.
