About three years ago, I contacted Brian to find out if he could assist me through a separation. A close friend had referred me, and I am SO thankful for her recommendation. Brian assisted FAR beyond "filing papers". He stood by me every step of the way and fought diligently for the best interest of myself and my daughter. To this very day (literally), he continues to navigate my battles with incredible compassion, expertise, and patience. I wouldn't want to be represented by anyone other than Brian.

Brian has been extremely helpful and knowledgeable in representing me during my divorce and ongoing child support issues. I would highly recommend him.

Mr. Burke handled a legal matter for me for a period of 2 years. He was active and progressive when I wanted him to be, and non-active when I requested that too. Very knowledgable and professional. It was great to have him represent me in court and see my matter to a positive ending. Highly recommend, and I will use Brian again should I need legal representation in the future.

Brian was very attentive to all of the issues and communicated relevant information very quickly. I was falsely accused and sent to prison and Brian acted nearly more like a family member than an attorney. He spoke w my family and kept them informed. Brian is extremely well connected and ultimately my charges were dropped partially due to his diligence in following through w the prosecutor. I would say that Brian earned all of what I paid him and you cant ask for more than that! He also helped me get full custody of my son.

Brian is a very knowledgeable, intense attorney. If there was something that I didn't understand, Brian went out of his way to explain it to me so that I could understand. He is very easy to talk to. When dealing with Brian, you know that he means business. I felt very confident in his ability to represent me. While Brian is hardcore, he is also personable. By the end of my case, I felt that I could trust him as an attorney and as a person. The only criticism I would give Brian would be his ability to over analyze or over explain things to me. There were several times where Brian would pose situations to me that may or may not happen. I felt that some of those instances weren't necessary. Overall, Brian is a good attorney and I would recommend him to anyone, including friends and family.

Brian handles my business and personal legal matters. When life becomes a bumpy road, you need a excellent Lawyer. I trust his council, and will continue to bring my legal affairs to his expertise. Thank you Brian, it's a big relief knowing I have great representation in my corner. I will continue to refer other business owners to you in the future.

If you are looking for an Attorney to hold your hand and emotionally coddle you through your situation whatever it may be, than I would NOT recommend Brian. I gave Brian an Overall rating of 4 Stars maybe 4 1/2 if that was an option because it has been my experience that he is VERY Trustworthy and what I appreciate MOST about him as an Attorney is his pit bull attitude. He could get better at keeping you informed but for me that was LESS important than his aggressive approach. He definitely is nothing short of an AMAZING attorney and actually makes you feel vindicated! I WOULD RECOMMEND TO ANYONE WHO IS LOOKING FOR AN AGGRESSIVE ATTORNEY!!!
