At Adams, Luka, & Benton, our Marion County criminal defense lawyers take an aggressive, dedicated approach in defending our clients. Our in-depth knowledge of and experience with the criminal justice system gives our clients an edge, as well as our understanding of how police and prosecutors work. We know that police often interrogate suspects relentlessly, sometimes to the point of admitting to a crime the suspect did not commit. Police may violate your legal rights, or make mistakes in the process of an arrest, such as performing an illegal search. Prosecutors must prove every element of a specific crime in order for a defendant to be found guilty.

I would like thank my attorney Thomas Luka. I knew from the beginning I had the right guy in my corner. While celebrating with family and friends at a Public Park in Seminole County, a fight broke out among various people. Myself, and a good friend, broke up the fight and the instigators left. Six months later, I was wrongly accused as the person who started the fight. The first attorney I hired could not even get a response from the State Attorney handling the case. Someone referred me to Tom and I felt comfortable at his demeanor and reactions.
After conversations with Tom, who knew I would settle for nothing less than a FULL DISMISSAL due to my innocence, I hired him. His firm Adams, Luka, & Benton did the due diligence by interviewing witnesses and the police who were on the scene, as well as starting a dialogue with the State Attorney. After gathering statements from witnesses, Tom was able to present a strong argument on my behalf to the State Attorney on why the case should be dismissed. If the State Attorney was not willing to dismiss the case, Tom was ready to take the case to trial.
The result by Thomas Luka: Case Dismissed.
I am 53 years old with a spotless record and glad to keep it that way thanks to the time, effort, hard work, and professionalism of Adams, Luka, & Benton.
