About Luke Porche

Luke Gerard Porche is an Associate Attorney at The Carlson Law Firm's North Austin office, focusing on personal injury law. His determination to become an attorney began during high school after a severe and life-altering motor vehicle collision affected a close family member. When big insurance made multiple attempts to prevent a financial recovery, Luke saw his family's attorney exhibit zeal in helping them, which inspired his career path. During law school, he participated in Loyola's Criminal Defense Clinic and Trial Advocacy Program, representing the university at the John L. Costello National Criminal Law Trial Advocacy Competition. Luke is dedicated to helping clients who have suffered due to the negligent actions of others.
