I will be forever indebted to the Gunnstaks law firm for all that they have done for me and continue to do. When I came to see Luke 3 years ago (and still counting), I needed a powerhouse attorney that would be able to handle my divorce case; I had the case of a lifetime. He and his staff have stuck with my case when he probably could have, and should have, dropped me as a client long before now. He believes in my case and will see it through to the end regardless of the financial gain he should be receiving. Luke and his entire staff are very professional, very thorough, dedicated and invested in their cases. Luke does not come across as the typical lawyer type, but don't judge a book by its cover. Actually it is Luke's eccentric exterior appearance that I think makes him stand out and it shows when he is in the courtroom. I would never have been able to get through this ordeal without the support of Luke and his firm. Thank you!!!

"Luke has turned our case around. After going through a number of local attorneys who did not really help us, we have finally found an attorney and crew who really understand us and care about helping us. If your situation seems hopeless and you need somebody who can help, choose Luke! Thanks again for all your help. Two years ago, we were one signature away from losing our daughter, and now we are one signature away from having our daughter half the time!"

Tobias B. of Austin, Tx.

"Luke saved my family, he saved my kids lives!"

Former Client "MG" - Dallas, Tx.

"When I selected Luke; I was searching for a mouth piece; a law firm to expose the blatant misuse of the law by my former spouse. Representation by Gunnstaks Law Office allows me to team with Luke's brilliant knowledge of family law and the legal system. Luke is an expert at strategic planning and a master of depositions. The Gunnstaks team is extraordinary, personable and accessible. Luke and company have stuck with me through thick, thin and the incomprehensible."
