Overview

Luke Wingfield knows that too many times attorneys focus on telling clients what they want to hear rather than providing an honest and frank assessment of the matter at hand, both good and bad. As an attorney, Luke considers it his obligation to tell the truth, even if it is hard to hear. His philosophy is that it is better for his clients to be fully informed than surprised later by something that could have and should have been anticipated and prepared for. Being honest and straightforward with his clients is how Luke practices law, and this allows his clients to make their own informed decisions.

As a litigator, the thing Luke enjoys most is being in the courtroom, having to think on his feet to relay the most persuasive argument he can. With his litigation practice focused predominately on insurance defense, he gets this opportunity often. Luke has represented insurance carriers and their insureds over the years as to essentially any fact pattern imaginable, be it wrongful death claims, car wrecks, premises liability, construction defects, bad faith allegations and nearly everything in between. He has also routinely handled declaratory judgment actions seeking to have courts determine the scope of insurance coverage available. 

In addition to his strong insurance practice, Luke also represents clients on employment and trademark matters. He has successfully obtained registration of numerous trademarks for clients with the USPTO.
