ABOUT LUCAS |  MAGAZINE-A New Port Richey Law Firm

The Law Offices of Lucas | Magazine were founded in February 2000 by Jeff Lucas and Robert W. Attridge, Jr. Since its inception, the New Port Richey Law Firm has grown considerably due to the basic principles of hard work and dedication to our clients’ needs. Our top notch staff takes pride in handling every detail of our clients. Members of our support staff are also bilingual in Spanish and Greek.

At Lucas | Magazine, our attorneys are dedicated to aggressively representing their clients against powerful insurance companies. The firm litigates a substantial portion of its cases and often handles the litigation work for other attorneys. As managing partner, attorney Jeff Lucas assists in the coordination of the intakes of new clients, pre-suit personal injury cases, and pre-suit settlement negotiations. He also handles the administrative aspects of the firm. Jeff began his legal career as a Public Defender in 1992. His term with the Sixth Judicial Circuit Public Defender’s office developed his skills in trial as he handled matters ranging from simple misdemeanors to homicide.

In 1995, Jeff joined a civil litigation firm in Tarpon Springs, where he handled a wide variety of criminal cases and civil matters. Jeff’s case load included various negligence lawsuits, wrongful death actions, and civil rights.
