Joseph Lucas

Attorney

Joseph M. Lucas learned at a very young age how his father, an accountant, approached his clients in giving them advice regarding their businesses and personal life. Joseph's father stressed honesty, hard work, and quality of service. The clients stayed with his father and allowed his business to grow because he exhibited these qualities. Joseph's business has grown over the past 35 years because his clients also see these same qualities in my practice.

Joe has handled hundreds of personal injury matters over the past thirty years that often involve serious injuries and wrongful death. He has a good reputation for using his expertise in negotiating to achieve favorable settlements. When cases cannot settle, Joe and the Barrington Injury Attorneys team have also been extremely successful in pursuing their clients’ claims to trial.

These clients have shown their appreciation in various ways. A bond has been formed between Joseph and these clients that gives satisfaction to him as a professional that cannot be matched anywhere. Although, most of these cases have not made the headlines, they tell a story of human existence that is better than any news story or headline.
