I highly recommend Luke Baumgarten for your legal representation if you find yourself or your loved one facing a criminal matter in the Pullman area. He is kind, knowledgeable, organized and sincere in giving you the most vigorous defense you need and deserve. My son, a WSU student, found himself charged with Assault 4 and Obstructing a Police Officer after being a patron at Stubblefields on the WSU campus. Yes, Stubblefields ... a reoccurring venue on these reviews. This place has a reputation of taking advantage of "misdemeanor compromise" statutes by claiming their employees (bouncers) were assaulted ... and getting paid to not continue pressing charges. Arguing how you have been the assaulted, not the assaulter, with the police apparently gets you Obstruction charges. Anyway, Luke was fantastic in handling the situation on behalf of my son. He negotiated a fair settlement that cleared him of any permanent criminal record. He was thorough in his investigation and legal strategy/tactics. He was very honest about probable outcomes and in constant communication. In the end, the bouncer was not credible. It was an unfortunate situation, but having Luke on board as chief advocate mitigated a bad situation into a hard life lesson without lasting repercussion. Luke's efforts are sincerely appreciated and he has our recommendation if you find yourself in a similar situation.

Luke was an awesome lawyer! Was very understanding and helpful in figuring out my case. Definitely would recommend him.

Luke Baumgarten is a extremely helpful, brilliant , knowledgeable, patient, effective, and skillful. lawyer. He was able to obtain a quick dismissal of my case. He is also a very agreeable and caring person and is a real pleasure to deal with him. I feel fortunate that I found him and do not hesitate in recommending Luke's services. Thank you very much for your help Luke!

My son was a WSU student who was represented by Luke Baumgarten. Since it was his second offense (he represented himself for the first offense without my knowledge) he was looking at some pretty serious consequences including jail time, probation, and a permanent record. Luke was able to convince the judge to give him a second chance. After 6 months of working, going to school and staying out of trouble, Luke was able to get the charges dropped. I couldn't believe how fortunate my son was. He definitely learned his lesson. Throughout, Luke was extremely helpful, took my calls and patiently explained the process and our options, and was extremely professional. He took a genuine interest in my son's case. I couldn't be happier with Luke's representation and would recommend him in the strongest possible terms.

I own a business and have relied on the skill and advise from Baumgarten Law many times over the last 2 years. Luke has always illustrated incredible patience with many of my questions and has taken extra time to ensure that I understand each and every process in the legal issues. Being a business, I have often had moments during the last 12 years where as we found ourselves needful of legal advise. I have yet to find an attorney that is as personable and as competent as Luke Baumgarten. In recent times we found ourselves in a legal quandary that was in an area of expertise that Luke was unfamiliar with. I was amazed at how much research he did in order to properly advise us of the direction we needed to maneuver. In another case he referred us to another Legal Firm that specialized in Tax Law and in doing so he advised us that they would be better able to assist in that particular problem. Such character is rare to find these days, a lawyer whom actually cares about his clients needs. You can search far and wide before finding a Lawyer with as much skill and integrity as Baumgarten Law. Thanks for all your help Luke!
