Luke Z. Fenchel, Attorney-At-Law

Luke Fenchel did an amazing job with my case. I was facing a class C felony and was expected to serve a decent amount of jail time and probation along with it. Luke was able to get my case reduced down to a class b misdemeanor (the lowest misdemeanor there is) and I didn’t serve any jail time and in fact got the probation waved entirely. I was able to get my life back on track easily thanks to his help I would recommend him to anyone facing legal troubles!

Luke doesn't call himself one, but he is a DWI wizzard. He was my lawyer in Tompkins county. Because of his quick and comprehensive counsel, a felony DWI was resolved as a misdemeanor. As a result of further advice i avoided a single day in jail. While my sobriety and employment certainly was meaningful to the judge and prosecutor, even the district attorney said i was "lucky" to have an attorney who made sure I had this result. The judge too nodded to my sobriety and wished me well, but also mentioned at arraignment that it was only vecaude of Luke that i avoided a felony; he said this counsel was extremely rare, and extremely good.

Luke saved my life. I made a mistake and was charged in Chemung County with a serious felony. I had admitted guilt and felt terrible. I knew that the prosecutor was seeking a lot of jail—maybe prison. Luke talked them down and figured things out. I have consequences but I can still be a parent and a working mom. You have no idea how much you mean to me Luke. Call him if you need help in Elmira or Chemung County!

Luke, I want to express my gratitude for your exceptional efforts in resolving my challenging situation. (Plus, Nicole). Undoubtedly, you are the best in Ithaca. Unlike some other lawyers who lacked confidence, Luke not only was confident success but also identified loopholes and procedural problems and built a strong case and came down to the best deal possible. He listens and he also owns up to his words. I can tell his influence extends beyond the town, evident in handling my case in a different county from his. Despite some others' skepticism about reviews, my own research validated Luke's reputation. He is hardworking, dedicated, and genuinely cares about his clients. Thanks to his relentless efforts, I achieved the best possible outcome, defying the doubts of other lawyers. Today I came across the best result and I highly recommend Luke. Once again thank you Luke.

Luke is such a responsible attorney! He is so patient, communicates, and understands the needs of his client. He is the most friendly and most expert professional I have ever seen. I am a Chinese national affiliated with Cornell. I was charged with a crime that threatened my relationship with my family, my career, and my immigration status. The charges were false, and ultimately the prosecutor withdrew and dismissed them. Not ACD, not non-criminal, but completely withdrawn. Luke is respected by the judge the prosecutor and also the other lawyers! From the very beginning when I reached out to Luke he listened and paid attention to every detail. He kept me up to date on new information even when it was slow going. He counseled patience and that worked. Luke was the one that made me feel comfortable and confident. The best. Highest recommendation!
