About
For nearly thirty years I’ve provided legal navigation for my clients. I believe that most people seeking counsel need practical and economical guidance. I take an expansive view of each case and look for creative solutions. Many of my cases involve family, employment or business issues. Rather than simply describing myself as a ‘family lawyer’ or a ‘business lawyer’, my focus is trial law. When litigation is the option to be pursued, I work to effectively and ethically present complex matters to judges and juries. A large number of my clients have been referred to me by other attorneys. Many of these cases involve complex financial, scientific or technical issues that other attorneys find outside their practice area. Because my work is not limited to one type of case, I find that my clients benefit from the broad training and experience I have acquired by litigating a variety of matters. Oftentimes, matters that appear to be centered on one issue involve other less obvious issues. One child custody case was reversed on appeal after it was established that the judge violated a client’s Constitutional rights. In another case, a drug testing order was successfully challenged when the testing methodology was deemed scientifically invalid. In another matter, evidence introduced in one trial led to the discovery that a client’s email had been illegally intercepted implicating the defendant and his attorney in a subsequent federal court proceeding. I am a graduate of Pace University School of Law and am admitted to the state and federal bars in Connecticut and New York. I also earned an MBA degree from University of Connecticut. I have a broad business and legal background and look forward to meeting neighbors and working with new clients.

Attorney Harold Ralph Burke of Greenwich, CT gave excellent advice-- quickly, completely and clearly answered. Thank you, Attorney Burke, I appreciate it!
You won't find a more dedicated lawyer than Harold. He will be your tireless crusader and will not hesitate in your representation. Finally, a lawyer who believes in his clients and cares about them as an individual and about a true successful outcome of their case. He represented me in a matrimonial matter on an appeal - took it to the highest Court in New York, and was successful! As a lawyer myself in a different field, I know what makes an outstanding attorney stand out in a sea of mediocre attorneys, and Harold is most definitely in the class of outstanding attorneys.
Harold is the type of attorney that I wish everyone could experience and have the pleasure of his representation. He is extremely thoughtful, listens to the facts presented him, gives unbiased factual feedback, and represents you with class and dignity. He does not look to gouge the other party (unlike the attorney we faced), and he kept the dialogue civil and professional, despite the challenges one faces in civil litigation where opposing counsel can act quite interestingly. He managed to extract me from a 25 year marriage in 9 months, with significant assets effectively being split, and only one year of alimony - who could ask for better results than that! Further, he was extremely aware of tax implications of assets being disposed, loss carry forwards and a host of other material items that needed to be incorporated into a resolution and he did so effectively and surgically. I could not have been asked to be better represented that the job he performed so well for me. He is the kind of knowledgeable person that, regardless of the type of litigation one is contemplating, his professional guidance, thoughtfulness and experience just make him a rare find in this world! And, he is simply a good human being in a world where so many have lost touch with reality. I couldn't more strongly endorse his skills and professionalism, and that comes from someone who spent 35 years on Wall Street, so I don't make that endorsement lightly!
Harold provided me with professional advise and support during my divorce. He was always professional, never did he show mean or vindictive side when dealing with delicate matters during my divorce. I always felt he had my back and my best interest in mind.
I have had an occasion to call on Mister Burke several times, and he has always come through on my behalf. It is comforting to know I can rely on someone's legal expertise when needed.
Attorney Burke has been representing me in a series of interrelated family cases pending in state and federal court. These cases have presented novel issues of law that he has done a great job of understanding, simplifying, and communicating to others. I highly recommend him.
Harold Burke was my first choice when I was facing a life altering case in CT family court. I am very pleased worked together. He was resourceful and skilled in his work and, when working, completely dedicated to my position. I knew I wanted a sole practitioner or a smaller firm. Harold has the skills of the big firm yet charges reasonably. One does have to be patient at times when a sole practitioner is working with other clients. When Harold is with you, he gives 200%. Regarding the outcome of my case, there is an old adage in law, “No settlement makes both parties completely satisfied”. I am more than happy with Harold’s work and commitment to my cause.
