DVSupport AI Summary:
The Law Offices of Elaine E. Lukic focuses on providing strong legal defense for individuals facing charges in the realms of domestic violence and sexual offenses. With over 25 years of experience, including a background as a former prosecutor, Attorney Elaine Lukic understands both sides of the criminal justice system and uses this insight to advocate fiercely for her clients. The firm emphasizes a compassionate approach, ensuring that clients feel respected and heard throughout their legal journey. This practice is particularly well-suited for survivors who may be navigating the complexities of domestic violence charges or accusations, as Elaine Lukic offers a trauma-informed perspective. She prioritizes personalized representation, making herself available 24/7 and providing clients with her direct contact information, fostering a sense of accessibility and support. While the firm is dedicated to securing the best possible outcomes for clients, it is important to note that they represent defendants rather than victims. This focus means that potential clients should be prepared for a defense-centered strategy, which may differ from what survivors of domestic violence might expect from a law firm that represents victims. If you are facing serious charges in Colorado or Florida and are looking for a lawyer with extensive experience and a commitment to defending your rights, this firm may be a solid choice. However, for those seeking support and advocacy as victims, it may be beneficial to explore firms that specialize in victim representation.
Jurisdiction:Colorado (Since 1998), Florida (Since 2015), New York (Since 2007), Pennsylvania (Since 2013), Federal Circuit (Since 1998), U.S.. Tax Court (Since 2002)

"Being falsely accused of a crime is like being in a slow-motion car crash, watching another car come toward you head-on and not knowing whether you will live or die. As a law-abiding citizen who has spent a long, productive lifetime doing good, it was terrible to be wrongly accused of a crime. The potential consequences of a wrongful conviction—and the allegation itself—were nerve-wracking and potentially life-altering. Attorney Elaine Lukic pursued my case with vigor and with the utmost dignity and professionalism from beginning to end. She succeeded in having the case dismissed without the embarrassment of a trial; she also succeeded in having the court records promptly and permanently sealed. We had regular, honest, productive dialogue about my case throughout the process and Attorney Lukic achieved the sought-after justice my case demanded. The results speak to her professionalism and to her skill as a seasoned attorney: ‘Case dismissed without a trial, records permanently sealed.’ ~ Larry K., Cincinnati, Ohio"

"Having Elaine represent me was one of the greatest blessings of my life. How is that possible you ask yourself? Well, you would have to know my story. Here’s a micro version. I was going in front of a judge facing a year in jail for multiple DUI’s and Elaine stepped in and got me a year of rehabilitation instead. Teen Challenge of the Rocky Mountains (180 Ministries) was going to be my home for the next year. This is where I laid down my broken self that included my addiction to alcohol and picked up a new way of life. This journey started 10 years ago and it continues to this day. I highly recommend Elaine Lukic."

"I contacted the law office of Elaine Lukic after being falsely accused in a case from an alleged incident that was 14 years in the past. Elaine was very helpful in giving advice, and explaining the process of what to do, and what not to do. Elaine always answered my calls, my texts, and my emails any day of the week. I can't stress enough what a blessing it was to have her on my team! I highly recommend her law office if the need should ever arise."

"Call Elaine Lukic right away. She won’t waste a second and gets the results you NEED. She is an extremely experienced and highly professional attorney, who will WIN. After hiring Elaine, I received over the top dedication and commitment to making sure I was represented to the highest standards. Previous representation or public defenders can often seem like they are working against you. Elaine can assure you the best possible case outcome especially when it feels like you’re out of options."

"I would highly recommend Ms. Lukic. She helped me through a very delicate and difficult case, fast and with as little pain as possible. I am so glad I found her and, although I hope to never need her again, she will be the first I recommend and the first I call if the need arises."
