I was fighting a uphill battle for custody of my daughter. I have been getting the run around from multiple lawyers in the the PG County area and none of them gave me any confidence on winning my case. I met Mr. Burton and was reassured that I had a strong chance to win custody of my daughter and for me to continue doing right as a father and to not let anyone try to get me to act out of character. He was very knowledgeable on family law, patient, courteous, attentive and communicable. Following his advice and producing all the documentation he requested I was successfully awarded custody and now have a lawyer that will take care of any of myself or family legal needs.

I hired Burton after my girlfriend referred him to me, because he represented her sister in a divorce case. Burton explained things to me and he walked me through the process. The people that work at the courthouse know him and so do the other attorneys that do family law in PG and Charles County. Long story made short, I have twice the amount of visitation with my son and my ex-wife doesn't play anymore games with me and my relationship with our son. Burton saved my relationship with my son.

I was fighting a uphill battle for custody of my son. I have been getting the run around from multiple lawyers in the the PG County area and none of them gave me any confidence on winning my case. I met Mr. Burton and was reassured that I had a strong chance to win my custody battle, and for me to continue doing right as a mother. He was very knowledgeable on family law, patient, courteous, attentive and communicable. Following his advice and producing all the documentation he requested I was successful in my custody case. Now I have a lawyer that will take care of all my legal needs. Aubrey Burton also has a wonderful office staff Tabatha Akins is very helpful, her response time is A1 as well very respectful and patient she show's she care.

Mr. Burton was very professional and easy to get in contact with. He had my case dismissed and I would recommend him to anyone looking for a great attorney.

Aubrey is my go-to-guy in the Maryland court system. I had a nasty custody fight and after 3 years of perseverance it all paid off. Aubrey is knowledgeable and straight forward. You walk into the Upper Marlboro Courthouse and you feel like you are with a rock star. I have another custody case coming up with the ex-wife and once again I will be retaining him for my services. She is shaking in her boots because she has seen him work.

Great Job. He handled the appeal of my case after my other attorney messed up. He is very responsive and a good lawyer. I have sent other people to him and they are very satisfied as well. Also, the judges and court staff know him.

I retained Attorney Burton for a custody case. My child's mother took the child and refused to let me visit because I no longer wanted to have a relationship with her. Other attorney's told me to give up, because the court wouldn't give me shared 50/50 custody. Attorney Burton fought for me and I ended up with shared custody: I get my son for 6 weeks during the summer, and 3 weekends from Thr to Monday each month, and on Thur overnight during the week that I do not get him for the weekend. I also like the fact that he serves his country as a reservist, being former military myself.

Attorney Burton saved the day. My children's father obtained a temporary protective order against me on false pretenses, and had me served right before Easter. I was put out of the house and he had custody of the kids. No other attorney's would return my call, except Mr. Burton. Mr. Burton met with me on a Saturday and immediately calmed my nerves. He not only explained the process but he also prepared me for trial by going over testimony, making sure that I had necessary evidence, and necessary witnesses. Needless to say, Attorney Burton won the case (on a Motion for Judgment) and I didn't even need to testify! The look on my children's father's face and my children's father's attorney's face was priceless! He is great!

This lawyer is the real deal. I went to another attorney for my divorce first but that didn't last long because she really didn't seem like she knew what she was doing. A friend recommended Aubrey Burton to me. Mr. Burton put me at ease right away during this difficult time in my life. He explained the process to me and answered all of my questions. He is really smart. I really had a lot of questions because I didn't want to make a mistake like I did with the first lawyer. One thing I can tell you about Mr. Burton is that he really fought for me. He gave me a realistic evaluation of my situation. He didn't just tell me things that he knew I wanted to hear. He knows these courts in Maryland and I think that made a difference. He treated me like a partner in my case and didn't just blow me off. That really meant a lot to me. I would recommend this lawyer. I hope I don't need to use him for a divorce again but I would definitely seek his advice when I start my business.

My husband refused to move out of my home and I couldn't put him out because the state considered it his "marriatial home". Thanks to Mr. Burton I was recently awarded the possession of my home!
