Adams, Luka, & Benton Lake Mary, Florida Criminal Attorneys

Lake Mary is a city of nearly 14,000 and enjoys a relatively low crime rate when compared with other U.S. cities, however people do get accused of crimes. The most common crimes committed in this area include theft crimes and burglaries, although individuals may be arrested for DUI, drug possession, a sex-related offense, or any type of crime. At Adams, Luka, & Benton, we know that even something as seemingly minor as a drunk driving arrest can leave you feeling uncertain and anxious. This is particularly true when someone has been arrested for the first time in his/her life, or is under investigation. Will you lose your freedom, and what will happen in court? Regardless of the offense you are under investigation or have been arrested for, we can help. Call us now at (407) 872-0307.

All crimes, regardless of how minor or serious they may be, have serious repercussions. For example, a DUI can land you in jail, leave you on probation or with a suspended driver's license, and with a criminal record which could impact future employment opportunities and more. Many sex crimes result not only in prison time, but the requirement to register as a sex offender. No matter what you have been accused of, it is vital to protect your legal rights and consult with a seasoned criminal defense attorney for skilled legal guidance and support.

With more than 30 years of combined experience, our defense lawyers have enjoyed great success representing clients charged with all types of crimes, including:

  • Sex crimes - Internet sex crimes, statutory rape, child molestation
  • Violent crimes - arson, murder, domestic violence, kidnapping
  • Theft/property crimes - identity theft, home invasion, armed robbery, auto theft
  • DUI crimes - felony drunk driving, child endangerment
  • Drug crimes - possession, manufacture, and distribution charges involving marijuana, cocaine, heroin, prescription drugs, and other illegal substances
  • Juvenile offenses

If you have been arrested or are under investigation, we can help.

Aggressive Criminal Representation for Lake Mary Clients

Navigating the criminal justice system is not easy for someone who is not familiar with this complex and complicated system. As trusted Lake Mary criminal defense lawyers, we understand how the criminal process works - and how police and prosecutors operate. Police may not violate your rights in the course of an arrest, but it does happen. Prosecutors will do everything possible to secure a conviction, even when the evidence is less than convincing. We will investigate the charges against you, address any concerns or questions you may have, keep you advised throughout the process, review the evidence and the prosecutor's case, and help determine the best legal option for your situation. We will develop a solid defense strategy should your case ultimately go to trial, although we hope to avoid this by having charges dismissed or reduced.

Client Reviews
★★★★★

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.

Thomas Luka left a life-long great impression of lawyers. He was always professional, on time, and answered things honestly. From the start and during the 14 months it went on - Tom was very upfront and honest with me about the possible outcomes. The result was better than I had hoped for. Tom really over-delivered. HIGHLY RECOMMEND. Marcela Giorgi
