About

Tiffany Burks’ path to the practice of law is based on a simple seed planted early in life – to serve others.Initially, Tiffany chose to serve in the U.S. Navy, holding various roles overseas with the military police in Bahrain and Japan. These posts piqued her interest in the law, and she eventually pivoted from law enforcement to the Judge Advocate General’s Corps, returning stateside as a lead paralegal.After nine years of military service, Tiffany went on to earn her Juris Doctor from Western Michigan University Cooley Law School, simultaneously studying, raising a family, volunteering, and working full time as a tax enforcement officer with the Michigan Department of Treasury. A testament to her focus, dedication, and time management skills, she graduated law school magna cum laude.Tiffany continues to follow her service instinct, advocating for clients in family law matters including abuse/neglect, divorce, custody, child support, and domestic violence.Tiffany holds a certificate in Custody, Parenting Time, and Support Through Judgment and a certificate in Postjudgment Custody, Parenting Time, and Support issued by the Institute of Continuing Legal Education.

I write this as someone who had never previously used an attorney before, Tiffany was a wonderful person to work with! I always felt I could her any question and she wouldn't make me feel silly for asking, it was a very tough situation I was in and walking through it with someone like Tiffany made it so much easier. If you're looking for someone with high integrity, look no further than Tiffany Burks. If I ever need something in the future, she'd be the first person I'd call.

I reached out to Tiffany after being referred to her by a mutual contact of ours. I was facing negotiations with a religious organization on my own and didn't realize what exactly I was walking into. Tiffany and her associates were incredibly helpful, respectful and diligent during my interactions with her. Even though the outcome of what I wanted seemed unlikely, she fought for me and took the case with the intent to advocate for me at every turn. I would no question use her again for any future litigation related to my case or other legal issues I may encounter.

We worked with Attorney Burks regarding a difficult co-parenting situation that was becoming unmanageable. Several court filings occurred and Attorney Burks was a calm, efficient and effective legal counsel working through the issues on our behalf. The resolution was fantastic and we are now enjoying a much calmer and more controlled co-parenting relationship. Additionally, the legal fees were reasonable and transparent. We would wholeheartedly recommend her for your legal counsel.
