I have had a 20+ year relationship with the Luper firm, and have always been very satisfied with the responsiveness, attention to detail, expert advice, and value proposition (billing has always been fair, focus on trying to do best job for client while being cognizant of cost, never felt like being nickled and dimed on bills for short phone calls or other minor issues) that the firm has always offered. As to my specific experience with you Greg, though litigation matters are never fun, I found working with you very easy and even pleasant. You were very good at keeping me up to date on the legal matters at hand, kept the process moving, explained options very well, were very good at strategizing, and provided excellent guidance throughout. Also, felt you always kept the end client’s best interest as the primary concern at all times, and were always after the best cost effective solution, keeping our wishes and constraints in mind. Overall, I would rate my interactions with the firm an A++.

“Just couldn’t let today end without sending…a note saying what a great attorney Fred Luper is!!...Even when I and the client thought there was no hope [for our claim], Mr. Luper NEVER let…the client down. We were represented with integrity and professionalism….I just wish all attorneys could take a lesson from Mr. Luper and his firm.”
Katie Sartin, NACM Southwest
David [Scott] took the time to explain to me the law and its ramifications, and how it could be interpreted in my case. I found him to be exceptionally articulate, patient and dedicated. He did everything he could to keep the case out of court…David always had time for me and was always honest in giving me all possible scenarios…When it became painfully clear that our only recourse would be through the courts, David gave us a clear picture of both sides of the verdict, along with the costs…There was one reason – only one – we were willing to go to court: David Scott. It was in court that Mr. Scott truly demonstrated that our trust was not misplaced. Meticulously prepared, relentless in his interrogations, David stripped away any pretense of a credible defense…In sports, we would call it a beat down…David Scott’s dedication, professionalism and intellect made a profound difference in my family’s life…While he is certainly a sophisticated and soft-spoken gentleman, trust me here: you don’t want to see this guy across the courtroom.

"I researched several law firms and interviewed attorneys with estate planning expertise. In the end, I chose to work with Roger Whitaker of Luper, Neidenthal & Logan. Besides them having an excellent reputation I needed to feel comfortable with an attorney entrusted with my personal estate plan.
From start to finish Roger did an outstanding job meeting every expectation. He listened, absorbed and then efficiently produced a document that I am totally confident with. Throughout the process, he was accessible, responsive and genuinely caring to my needs. The true test is: would I use his services again? Absolutely."

Luper Neidenthal & Logan and Greg Melick were a great help to us when we needed legal counsel. Greg’s cool head and well thought out suggestions helped solve our issue in a cost-effective way. I highly recommend their services.

Heather Melick represented me in the Summer of 2009 and a did a terrific job with my case. She carefully explained to me the potential outcomes and the cost and benefits of potentially going in front of a jury. In the end I was very pleased with the outcome with one charged dropped to a misdemeanor and other charges dropped. She did a great job through the entire process of keeping me informed and keeping the case moving forward towards resolution.

"[Melissa Michalsky and Fred Luper performed] post judgment collection work [that] was very difficult due to some very complicated issues. Both Melissa Michalsky and Fred Luper were very valuable and helpful. I feel that their knowledge of the underlying legal issues along with their various contacts saved us not only time and money but possible failure in our efforts. They have shown to be hands-on attorneys and very accessible. I feel that our recovery efforts will be successful and I have been very satisfied in their work for the bank.”
