WOW .... The review from the girl with the dental case sounds SO familiar ... I guess it's because Kathy Burke screwed me also. I was rear-ended in 2014 and hired Kathy Burke just a few months after my accident. I went through 6 months of physical therapy, many different x-rays, 3 MRI's, 2 years of pain management with injections 2-3 x a month and endured headaches 5-6 days a week. After 2 1/2 years of nothing helping ....... I was referred to a brain injury doctor and also a nerve surgeon. Both doctors said I needed surgery due to accident. Both doctors put this it in writing also. Kathy Burke said "you don't get headaches from car accidents and we won't be able to prove that" ........ and she wanted me to settle for $15,000. She dragged things out for almost 3 years and then said my only choice was to RE-FILE .... which has to be done within 6 months. 2 months prior to the refiling deadline she says "You will need to find another attorney, this case is not going to be lucrative enough for us" (meaning the law firm she was with). Which at the time she was with Stein & Rosenberg in DC. Just a few short months after she moved for the 3rd time ..... to Stein & Rosenberg law firm ...... is when she said they didn't feel it would be worth their time to take the case. Unbelievable ! She moved to 3 DIFFERENT law firms during the time I was using her (3 years). I should have known that I was doomed. I had the required surgery on the back of my head at the end of 2017 and haven't experienced any more headaches. Surgery was $72,000. Kathy Burke actually did me a favor. I found an AWESOME attorney that refiles my case and that found lots of previous mistakes and is totally on top of EVERYTHING. STAY AWAY FROM KATHY BURKE !!!

I orig signed with Ms. Burke to file a dental malpractice complaint against a dentist who also has a law degree after suffering 10 long yrs of painful tx's that included multiple extractions (9teeth) impulsively performed w/out x-rays & informed consent resulting in sig bone loss to my lower jaw area (which he never acknowledged). Because 2nd lower molars extracted, I was w/out an ability to chew my foods for 10 yrs. I also discovered that he deliberately placed a dollop-of-glue on my 1 implant placed in Feb 09 w/out connecting it & then plcd a FPD over it w/open margins resulting in add'l inflam, bacterial infect and bone loss. I also presnted her 39 documnted return emerg visits for faulty crns cracking as well as abut/cr attachd to implant (4x's). I also discovred I wud have lost my remaing teeth (20) had I not sought tx from my Prosthodontist since he placed CR's over caries w/overhanging margins & there were no post placemnt x-rays. Only provided 3 x-rays for 10 yrs of tx, but no x-rays for the multiple extractions nor the multple unnecessry faulty R/C's. The Dentist was decptive t/out the 10 yrs, I was confused, depressd, humiliatd, and o/all wellbeing sig deterorated turning my life upside down. I delibrately decded to obtin a female attorny assuming she may better understand the dramatic impact these horrific traumtizing tx's hd on my qualty of life for 10 yrs. Ms.Burke subseq filed my comp for $2 Million for the tx period beg 4-30-03 - 2-9-12, based on a review by my Dental Expert, whose one of the Best inthe Country(Spec. in Prosthodontics). However, I theninformd her that the complnt did not inclde all of my tx's, ie., 1st tx began 8-28-02 at his dental practice & not 4-30-03. I subseq tracked dwn my prior dental records & presented them to Ms. Burke in May 2013, and shocked to discover the Dentist fraudulently prepared a new dental chart and posted my tx's for 8-28, 9-18, 10-2-02 to my prior dental records. He also egregiously used my pt. inform sheet w/my name dtd 8-22-01 c/out date chgd to 7-25-02, whch was husband's 1st tx w/dentist at his new practice that opend in 2002,and posted this tx to my new chart & noted new Hx Diabetes (husband is hypoglycemic). Although I testified to the 8-28-02-10-2-02 tx's &noted the7-25-02as my husband's tx, & also sent emails requestng a doc examinr to confirm (although it was obvious)Ms. Burke never addressd these tx's with the dentist at his deposition. Thus, the dentist w/held my 1st 3 tx's for litigation purposes and he also submitted false interrogs. The dentist also lied all of my lab receipts & most of my dental impressins were destroyed by offc sprinkler but also statd he did not attempt to obtain dup's after notification of complaint. Although Burden shld have shifted to the Dentist, Ms. Burke's co-counsel bent-ovr-bkwds & agrd to obtain the past few yrs; however, no lab records rec'd. I also infmd Ms. Burke that 2 fmr emplyees had sig info abt the dentist's unethical practices & also info re: false lab rec's remark, but she never deposed my witnesses. She never reved my recds w/me to assure accuracy, which many were not/some w/typos, but she did add my husbnd to my interrogs whch opened the door to rel of my marrg couseling rx'ds. Thus, I was humiliatd for 10yrs w/missng teeth up front, crns falling/ot ,etc., & then I was again humilated thr/out depo w/more ?? abt my marriage rather thn actual dental tx's. I was shocked she allowed this to occur. Thus, I was not given proc due process & instead they rushed & relsd the desig of exprts testmny & decd to dismis1/2 my tx's finding 1-30-06 as the date he fell below standrd of care (which was a false date) they also assd med. xerostomia to lesson dmgs & notd my xpert wud testify to past tx's despite the fact tx's add'd after the fact. Aftr $15,000 in legalfees, she adv me they wud not addrss the false tx's & I cud file nonsuit but she w/not refile. I filed nonsuit but discovery precluded me frm refiling.
