Lisa was my attorney and advocate for months as she navigated my hostility / discrimination/ retaliation case. Her empathy, professionalism, and pure knowledge of the law is next level. She gave me confidence when I felt alone. And she guided me into what was best for me. I’ve never met an attorney like Lisa and I would give her the highest recommendation.
Here is the short of it: Lisa is an amazing human being that also happens to be an outstanding attorney. First, she knows the law inside out. She is a gifted writer. She meticulously and proactively works through every step of litigation. She is 100% collaborative and brings years of experience to help guide decision-making. She never misses a deadline and returns every phone call in a timely manner. She is 100% vested in getting her clients the outcome they feel is fair. I can attest she did this for me! Here's my story: I received a promotion employment offer which I hired Lisa to help me negotiate. I expected to work with Lisa for about a week and it turned into an 18-month claim filed with the county court system. The situation with my employer became ugly when they used their significant resources to hire the most prestigious law firm in the Puget Sound to fight the case. Fortunately, Lisa is equally competent and regularly goes against these "Big Name" attorneys that are hired by corporate defendants. She diligently followed the legal process to collect all the facts necessary to support my case and the law. This may seem easy and I assure you it is NOT. To get the facts Lisa had to use her expertise and experience to ensure that she was not out-maneuvered by the opponent's curveballs and tricks; they never seemed to end! Through this battle, Lisa was professional with opposing counsel. As her client, she kept me in the loop, educated me on the legal process, advised me of potential outcomes, and kept a positive and encouraging outlook. It took 18 months, partially due to a 4 month COVID delay, AND I could not be happier with my outcome!!! This employment consultation unexpectedly turned into a major life experience. I am grateful to have shared it with Lisa. She believed in me <3
I hired Lisa to review a separation agreement with my employer. She was very knowledgeable about the law, detailed in her review of my documents, broke things down in simple terms, and provided outstanding advice that ensured I got the best possible separation negotiated. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone!
I have never been in a situation where I needed a lawyer, I really dreaded this process but Lisa made everything so easy, she showed that she CARES and I 1000% TRUST her. Lisa did not pressure me into anything, always gave me options and was very honest with everything. Lisa actually wants to help people, it’s not easy to find a lawyer who is so genuine in the way they want to help you. I’m so lucky I found her and I am keeping her contact for the future. I would highly recommend Lisa to anyone - she is amazing!
I was expecting everything about my situation to be stressful, on going, emotional and exhausting. My experience was the exact opposite and that is SOLELY because of Lisa Burke!! She made things SO easy and stress free. Most of all, I TRUST her!! She had my best interest in mind and was so patient and kind. I can not refer her enough. She is nothing short of exceptional!
Hiring Lisa was the best decision I made when exploring my legal options for a work-related issue. I can confirm that Lisa knows the legal system like the back of her hand. While these types of situations can be nerve-racking and anxiety-inducing, Lisa is the calm, steady voice that makes you feel like you're not alone. She helped me understand everything and was empathetic but straightforward, explaining all the legal jargon and the options I had. You can tell that she wants you to succeed. Ultimately, Lisa got me the results I wanted through calculated decisions and was there from start to finish.
Lisa is absolutely amazing. She is one of the most intelligent and articulate people I've worked with from any field. Lisa listened carefully to my story and explained the options for legal action. In the end, I settled with my former employer via a severance package rather than pursuing a lawsuit. Working with Lisa behind the scenes, I negotiated a 600+% increase in the initial offer from my company. Lisa spent at least 10 hours working with me and advising me, and did not charge me a dime. My conversations with Lisa spread over several months due to the complexity and changes of the case. Even after not speaking for months, Lisa remembered the many details of my story. Lisa advised me promptly, over weekends, and until the day she went into labor! I finished the process working with one of her partners, who charged a reasonable flat-fee for reviewing the final documents. For me, pursuing my case and working with Lisa was about so much more than money -- it was about fighting for justice and the validity of my experience. And, throughout the entire process it was clear to me that Lisa CARED. When you are experiencing retaliation and hostility in your workplace, things can become very dark and confusing. Lisa validated my experience and confirmed that the company was acting illegally. Lisa cut through the confusion, found the facts, explained my rights, and helped me stand taller throughout the process. Lisa is an excellent person and attorney, and she's fierce and passionate about justice. I cannot recommend her enough.
I found Lisa Burke from reading reviews here at AVVO. Lisa’s reviews stood out to me because the people leaving the reviews were above and beyond pleased with not only Lisa’s Legal skills but also the great person she was. I decided based on these great AVVO reviews to give Lisa a call. I needed an attorney to represent me in a matter against a former employer. I emailed Lisa with some details of my situation. Shortly thereafter I received a phone call from Lisa. She was warm and very professional. It became clear immediately that I was talking to a person with excellent intelligence. She quickly grasped my complex situation and asked the exactly right questions to clarify her understanding of my complex situation. She spoke with me at no charge for almost an hour. Then I emailed Lisa all my documents for her review. Lisa did not charge me anything for this review. A few days later Lisa finished her review of my documentation and scheduled a phone call. On that Phone call I received good and bad news. Lisa told me that after her extensive review of my documents she believed I had an excellent case and she wanted to pursue it. Unfortunately her and the firm discovered there was a conflict of interest that exists so even though they wanted to represent they could not because of this existing condition. I fully understand their position, as every organization has to screen for potential conflicts of interest before they can enter into a contract with a new client. Lisa then kindly informed me of her viewpoints of my case and gave me some advice. By this time Lisa must have spent at least 10 hours on reviewing my case. Still after all this time reviewing and then nearly 2 hours of phone calls Lisa never asked me to pay anything. This is so generous and especially appreciated when you are un-employed. Now if Lisa had just said goodbye at this point I would have been beyond pleased with my experience with her. But what she did next was un-believable. She gave me the names of two other excellent firms - those that only professionals in an industry would know of. She said to contact these two firms and I could let them know that Lisa referred me. Then Lisa informed me that many times attorneys turn down cases not because they don’t think the case is valid nor because they do not want to represent the client, she said that attorneys many times turn down a case because they do not have the time in their schedule to take on another case. Lisa told me that if this is the case with these two firms she recommends then contacting her and she will provide me with other good firms to contact. Wow! Finally if you find yourself in my situation needing an attorney to represent you in an employment matter, you will notice that your self-esteem is pretty far down from its all time highs. At all times Lisa treated me with respect, made me feel valued and even thanked me for doing what she felt was the right thing that I did in my employment situation. For me Lisa far exceeded these already outstanding reviews of her in AVVO. If you find yourself in an unfortunate situation where you need an employment attorney then please contact Lisa Burke. It will be the best decision you will have made in a long time.
Lisa represented me in a complex employment case. I was deeply wronged by my prior employer. She fought hard for my best interests and was a great communicator throughout the process. She walked me through all of my legal options, was patient and always very compassionate as I was going through a difficult personal time. In the past, I’ve had a negative association with attorneys. Lisa has single handedly changed this through her zealous and persistent advocacy on my behalf. I highly recommended Lisa!
If you are looking for a very smart, passionate and caring lawyer, then give Lisa a call. My wife was involved in some dubious and scandalous PIP [AKA - Performance improvement plan]. I call it performance indictment plan. We reached out to Lisa and she gave us continuous guidance, support, and advice until the company withdrew the plan and apologized to my wife. She responds to our messages, emails promptly even while on vacation. We were ready to move on, but through informed guidance, my wife still has her job. Lisa is NOT the typical money-hungry employment lawyer. She sincerely cares about her clients and understands the emotional torture such clients go through. I have also recommended my daughter to her with the same positive result. If you have to need to talk to a previous client, get my info from Lisa and I will be happy to talk to you. Thank you a million times Lisa. May the Lord bless you and your business very richly.

Unfortunately her and the firm discovered there was a conflict of interest that exists so even though they wanted to represent they could not because of this existing condition. I fully understand their position, as every organization has to screen for potential conflicts of interest before they can enter into a contract with a new client. Lisa then kindly informed me of her viewpoints of my case and gave me some advice. By this time Lisa must have spent at least 10 hours on reviewing my case. Still after all this time reviewing and then nearly 2 hours of phone calls Lisa never asked me to pay anything. This is so generous and especially appreciated when you are un-employed. Now if Lisa had just said goodbye at this point I would have been beyond pleased with my experience with her. But what she did next was un-believable. She gave me the names of two other excellent firms - those that only professionals in an industry would know of. She said to contact these two firms and I could let them know that Lisa referred me. Then Lisa informed me that many times attorneys turn down cases not because they don’t think the case is valid nor because they do not want to represent the client, she said that attorneys many times turn down a case because they do not have the time in their schedule to take on another case. Lisa told me that if this is the case with these two firms she recommends then contacting her and she will provide me with other good firms to contact. Wow! Finally if you find yourself in my situation needing an attorney to represent you in an employment matter, you will notice that your self-esteem is pretty far down from its all time highs. At all times Lisa treated me with respect, made me feel valued and even thanked me for doing what she felt was the right thing that I did in my employment situation. For me Lisa far exceeded these already outstanding reviews of her in AVVO. If you find yourself in an unfortunate situation where you need an employment attorney then please contact Lisa Burke. It will be the best decision you will have made in a long time.
Lisa represented me in a complex employment case. I was deeply wronged by my prior employer. She fought hard for my best interests and was a great communicator throughout the process. She walked me through all of my legal options, was patient and always very compassionate as I was going through a difficult personal time. In the past, I’ve had a negative association with attorneys. Lisa has single handedly changed this through her zealous and persistent advocacy on my behalf. I highly recommended Lisa!
If you are looking for a very smart, passionate and caring lawyer, then give Lisa a call. My wife was involved in some dubious and scandalous PIP [AKA - Performance improvement plan]. I call it performance indictment plan. We reached out to Lisa and she gave us continuous guidance, support, and advice until the company withdrew the plan and apologized to my wife. She responds to our messages, emails promptly even while on vacation. We were ready to move on, but through informed guidance, my wife still has her job. Lisa is NOT the typical money-hungry employment lawyer. She sincerely cares about her clients and understands the emotional torture such clients go through. I have also recommended my daughter to her with the same positive result. If you have to need to talk to a previous client, get my info from Lisa and I will be happy to talk to you. Thank you a million times Lisa. May the Lord bless you and your business very richly.
Lisa was my attorney and advocate for months as she navigated my hostility / discrimination/ retaliation case. Her empathy, professionalism, and pure knowledge of the law is next level. She gave me confidence when I felt alone. And she guided me into what was best for me. I’ve never met an attorney like Lisa and I would give her the highest recommendation.
Here is the short of it: Lisa is an amazing human being that also happens to be an outstanding attorney. First, she knows the law inside out. She is a gifted writer. She meticulously and proactively works through every step of litigation. She is 100% collaborative and brings years of experience to help guide decision-making. She never misses a deadline and returns every phone call in a timely manner. She is 100% vested in getting her clients the outcome they feel is fair. I can attest she did this for me! Here's my story: I received a promotion employment offer which I hired Lisa to help me negotiate. I expected to work with Lisa for about a week and it turned into an 18-month claim filed with the county court system. The situation with my employer became ugly when they used their significant resources to hire the most prestigious law firm in the Puget Sound to fight the case. Fortunately, Lisa is equally competent and regularly goes against these "Big Name" attorneys that are hired by corporate defendants. She diligently followed the legal process to collect all the facts necessary to support my case and the law. This may seem easy and I assure you it is NOT. To get the facts Lisa had to use her expertise and experience to ensure that she was not out-maneuvered by the opponent's curveballs and tricks; they never seemed to end! Through this battle, Lisa was professional with opposing counsel. As her client, she kept me in the loop, educated me on the legal process, advised me of potential outcomes, and kept a positive and encouraging outlook. It took 18 months, partially due to a 4 month COVID delay, AND I could not be happier with my outcome!!! This employment consultation unexpectedly turned into a major life experience. I am grateful to have shared it with Lisa. She believed in me <3
I hired Lisa to review a separation agreement with my employer. She was very knowledgeable about the law, detailed in her review of my documents, broke things down in simple terms, and provided outstanding advice that ensured I got the best possible separation negotiated. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone!
I have never been in a situation where I needed a lawyer, I really dreaded this process but Lisa made everything so easy, she showed that she CARES and I 1000% TRUST her. Lisa did not pressure me into anything, always gave me options and was very honest with everything. Lisa actually wants to help people, it’s not easy to find a lawyer who is so genuine in the way they want to help you. I’m so lucky I found her and I am keeping her contact for the future. I would highly recommend Lisa to anyone - she is amazing!
I was expecting everything about my situation to be stressful, on going, emotional and exhausting. My experience was the exact opposite and that is SOLELY because of Lisa Burke!! She made things SO easy and stress free. Most of all, I TRUST her!! She had my best interest in mind and was so patient and kind. I can not refer her enough. She is nothing short of exceptional!
Hiring Lisa was the best decision I made when exploring my legal options for a work-related issue. I can confirm that Lisa knows the legal system like the back of her hand. While these types of situations can be nerve-racking and anxiety-inducing, Lisa is the calm, steady voice that makes you feel like you're not alone. She helped me understand everything and was empathetic but straightforward, explaining all the legal jargon and the options I had. You can tell that she wants you to succeed. Ultimately, Lisa got me the results I wanted through calculated decisions and was there from start to finish.
Lisa is absolutely amazing. She is one of the most intelligent and articulate people I've worked with from any field. Lisa listened carefully to my story and explained the options for legal action. In the end, I settled with my former employer via a severance package rather than pursuing a lawsuit. Working with Lisa behind the scenes, I negotiated a 600+% increase in the initial offer from my company. Lisa spent at least 10 hours working with me and advising me, and did not charge me a dime. My conversations with Lisa spread over several months due to the complexity and changes of the case. Even after not speaking for months, Lisa remembered the many details of my story. Lisa advised me promptly, over weekends, and until the day she went into labor! I finished the process working with one of her partners, who charged a reasonable flat-fee for reviewing the final documents. For me, pursuing my case and working with Lisa was about so much more than money -- it was about fighting for justice and the validity of my experience. And, throughout the entire process it was clear to me that Lisa CARED. When you are experiencing retaliation and hostility in your workplace, things can become very dark and confusing. Lisa validated my experience and confirmed that the company was acting illegally. Lisa cut through the confusion, found the facts, explained my rights, and helped me stand taller throughout the process. Lisa is an excellent person and attorney, and she's fierce and passionate about justice. I cannot recommend her enough.
I found Lisa Burke from reading reviews here at AVVO. Lisa’s reviews stood out to me because the people leaving the reviews were above and beyond pleased with not only Lisa’s Legal skills but also the great person she was. I decided based on these great AVVO reviews to give Lisa a call. I needed an attorney to represent me in a matter against a former employer. I emailed Lisa with some details of my situation. Shortly thereafter I received a phone call from Lisa. She was warm and very professional. It became clear immediately that I was talking to a person with excellent intelligence. She quickly grasped my complex situation and asked the exactly right questions to clarify her understanding of my complex situation. She spoke with me at no charge for almost an hour. Then I emailed Lisa all my documents for her review. Lisa did not charge me anything for this review. A few days later Lisa finished her review of my documentation and scheduled a phone call. On that Phone call I received good and bad news. Lisa told me that after her extensive review of my documents she believed I had an excellent case and she wanted to pursue it.

Hiring Lisa was the best decision I made when exploring my legal options for a work-related issue. I can confirm that Lisa knows the legal system like the back of her hand. While these types of situations can be nerve-racking and anxiety-inducing, Lisa is the calm, steady voice that makes you feel like you're not alone. She helped me understand everything and was empathetic but straightforward, explaining all the legal jargon and the options I had. You can tell that she wants you to succeed. Ultimately, Lisa got me the results I wanted through calculated decisions and was there from start to finish.
Lisa is absolutely amazing. She is one of the most intelligent and articulate people I've worked with from any field. Lisa listened carefully to my story and explained the options for legal action. In the end, I settled with my former employer via a severance package rather than pursuing a lawsuit. Working with Lisa behind the scenes, I negotiated a 600+% increase in the initial offer from my company. Lisa spent at least 10 hours working with me and advising me, and did not charge me a dime. My conversations with Lisa spread over several months due to the complexity and changes of the case. Even after not speaking for months, Lisa remembered the many details of my story. Lisa advised me promptly, over weekends, and until the day she went into labor! I finished the process working with one of her partners, who charged a reasonable flat-fee for reviewing the final documents. For me, pursuing my case and working with Lisa was about so much more than money -- it was about fighting for justice and the validity of my experience. And, throughout the entire process it was clear to me that Lisa CARED. When you are experiencing retaliation and hostility in your workplace, things can become very dark and confusing. Lisa validated my experience and confirmed that the company was acting illegally. Lisa cut through the confusion, found the facts, explained my rights, and helped me stand taller throughout the process. Lisa is an excellent person and attorney, and she's fierce and passionate about justice. I cannot recommend her enough.
I found Lisa Burke from reading reviews here at AVVO. Lisa’s reviews stood out to me because the people leaving the reviews were above and beyond pleased with not only Lisa’s Legal skills but also the great person she was. I decided based on these great AVVO reviews to give Lisa a call. I needed an attorney to represent me in a matter against a former employer. I emailed Lisa with some details of my situation. Shortly thereafter I received a phone call from Lisa. She was warm and very professional. It became clear immediately that I was talking to a person with excellent intelligence. She quickly grasped my complex situation and asked the exactly right questions to clarify her understanding of my complex situation. She spoke with me at no charge for almost an hour. Then I emailed Lisa all my documents for her review. Lisa did not charge me anything for this review. A few days later Lisa finished her review of my documentation and scheduled a phone call. On that Phone call I received good and bad news. Lisa told me that after her extensive review of my documents she believed I had an excellent case and she wanted to pursue it. Unfortunately her and the firm discovered there was a conflict of interest that exists so even though they wanted to represent they could not because of this existing condition. I fully understand their position, as every organization has to screen for potential conflicts of interest before they can enter into a contract with a new client. Lisa then kindly informed me of her viewpoints of my case and gave me some advice. By this time Lisa must have spent at least 10 hours on reviewing my case. Still after all this time reviewing and then nearly 2 hours of phone calls Lisa never asked me to pay anything. This is so generous and especially appreciated when you are un-employed. Now if Lisa had just said goodbye at this point I would have been beyond pleased with my experience with her. But what she did next was un-believable. She gave me the names of two other excellent firms - those that only professionals in an industry would know of. She said to contact these two firms and I could let them know that Lisa referred me. Then Lisa informed me that many times attorneys turn down cases not because they don’t think the case is valid nor because they do not want to represent the client, she said that attorneys many times turn down a case because they do not have the time in their schedule to take on another case. Lisa told me that if this is the case with these two firms she recommends then contacting her and she will provide me with other good firms to contact. Wow! Finally if you find yourself in my situation needing an attorney to represent you in an employment matter, you will notice that your self-esteem is pretty far down from its all time highs. At all times Lisa treated me with respect, made me feel valued and even thanked me for doing what she felt was the right thing that I did in my employment situation. For me Lisa far exceeded these already outstanding reviews of her in AVVO. If you find yourself in an unfortunate situation where you need an employment attorney then please contact Lisa Burke. It will be the best decision you will have made in a long time.
Lisa represented me in a complex employment case. I was deeply wronged by my prior employer. She fought hard for my best interests and was a great communicator throughout the process. She walked me through all of my legal options, was patient and always very compassionate as I was going through a difficult personal time. In the past, I’ve had a negative association with attorneys. Lisa has single handedly changed this through her zealous and persistent advocacy on my behalf. I highly recommended Lisa!
If you are looking for a very smart, passionate and caring lawyer, then give Lisa a call. My wife was involved in some dubious and scandalous PIP [AKA - Performance improvement plan]. I call it performance indictment plan. We reached out to Lisa and she gave us continuous guidance, support, and advice until the company withdrew the plan and apologized to my wife. She responds to our messages, emails promptly even while on vacation. We were ready to move on, but through informed guidance, my wife still has her job. Lisa is NOT the typical money-hungry employment lawyer. She sincerely cares about her clients and understands the emotional torture such clients go through. I have also recommended my daughter to her with the same positive result. If you have to need to talk to a previous client, get my info from Lisa and I will be happy to talk to you. Thank you a million times Lisa. May the Lord bless you and your business very richly.
Lisa was my attorney and advocate for months as she navigated my hostility / discrimination/ retaliation case. Her empathy, professionalism, and pure knowledge of the law is next level. She gave me confidence when I felt alone. And she guided me into what was best for me. I’ve never met an attorney like Lisa and I would give her the highest recommendation.
Here is the short of it: Lisa is an amazing human being that also happens to be an outstanding attorney. First, she knows the law inside out. She is a gifted writer. She meticulously and proactively works through every step of litigation. She is 100% collaborative and brings years of experience to help guide decision-making. She never misses a deadline and returns every phone call in a timely manner. She is 100% vested in getting her clients the outcome they feel is fair. I can attest she did this for me! Here's my story: I received a promotion employment offer which I hired Lisa to help me negotiate. I expected to work with Lisa for about a week and it turned into an 18-month claim filed with the county court system. The situation with my employer became ugly when they used their significant resources to hire the most prestigious law firm in the Puget Sound to fight the case. Fortunately, Lisa is equally competent and regularly goes against these "Big Name" attorneys that are hired by corporate defendants. She diligently followed the legal process to collect all the facts necessary to support my case and the law. This may seem easy and I assure you it is NOT. To get the facts Lisa had to use her expertise and experience to ensure that she was not out-maneuvered by the opponent's curveballs and tricks; they never seemed to end! Through this battle, Lisa was professional with opposing counsel. As her client, she kept me in the loop, educated me on the legal process, advised me of potential outcomes, and kept a positive and encouraging outlook. It took 18 months, partially due to a 4 month COVID delay, AND I could not be happier with my outcome!!! This employment consultation unexpectedly turned into a major life experience. I am grateful to have shared it with Lisa. She believed in me <3
I hired Lisa to review a separation agreement with my employer. She was very knowledgeable about the law, detailed in her review of my documents, broke things down in simple terms, and provided outstanding advice that ensured I got the best possible separation negotiated. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone!
I have never been in a situation where I needed a lawyer, I really dreaded this process but Lisa made everything so easy, she showed that she CARES and I 1000% TRUST her. Lisa did not pressure me into anything, always gave me options and was very honest with everything. Lisa actually wants to help people, it’s not easy to find a lawyer who is so genuine in the way they want to help you. I’m so lucky I found her and I am keeping her contact for the future. I would highly recommend Lisa to anyone - she is amazing!

She gave me confidence when I felt alone. And she guided me into what was best for me. I’ve never met an attorney like Lisa and I would give her the highest recommendation.
Here is the short of it: Lisa is an amazing human being that also happens to be an outstanding attorney. First, she knows the law inside out. She is a gifted writer. She meticulously and proactively works through every step of litigation. She is 100% collaborative and brings years of experience to help guide decision-making. She never misses a deadline and returns every phone call in a timely manner. She is 100% vested in getting her clients the outcome they feel is fair. I can attest she did this for me! Here's my story: I received a promotion employment offer which I hired Lisa to help me negotiate. I expected to work with Lisa for about a week and it turned into an 18-month claim filed with the county court system. The situation with my employer became ugly when they used their significant resources to hire the most prestigious law firm in the Puget Sound to fight the case. Fortunately, Lisa is equally competent and regularly goes against these "Big Name" attorneys that are hired by corporate defendants. She diligently followed the legal process to collect all the facts necessary to support my case and the law. This may seem easy and I assure you it is NOT. To get the facts Lisa had to use her expertise and experience to ensure that she was not out-maneuvered by the opponent's curveballs and tricks; they never seemed to end! Through this battle, Lisa was professional with opposing counsel. As her client, she kept me in the loop, educated me on the legal process, advised me of potential outcomes, and kept a positive and encouraging outlook. It took 18 months, partially due to a 4 month COVID delay, AND I could not be happier with my outcome!!! This employment consultation unexpectedly turned into a major life experience. I am grateful to have shared it with Lisa. She believed in me <3
I hired Lisa to review a separation agreement with my employer. She was very knowledgeable about the law, detailed in her review of my documents, broke things down in simple terms, and provided outstanding advice that ensured I got the best possible separation negotiated. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone!
I have never been in a situation where I needed a lawyer, I really dreaded this process but Lisa made everything so easy, she showed that she CARES and I 1000% TRUST her. Lisa did not pressure me into anything, always gave me options and was very honest with everything. Lisa actually wants to help people, it’s not easy to find a lawyer who is so genuine in the way they want to help you. I’m so lucky I found her and I am keeping her contact for the future. I would highly recommend Lisa to anyone - she is amazing!
I was expecting everything about my situation to be stressful, on going, emotional and exhausting. My experience was the exact opposite and that is SOLELY because of Lisa Burke!! She made things SO easy and stress free. Most of all, I TRUST her!! She had my best interest in mind and was so patient and kind. I can not refer her enough. She is nothing short of exceptional!
Hiring Lisa was the best decision I made when exploring my legal options for a work-related issue. I can confirm that Lisa knows the legal system like the back of her hand. While these types of situations can be nerve-racking and anxiety-inducing, Lisa is the calm, steady voice that makes you feel like you're not alone. She helped me understand everything and was empathetic but straightforward, explaining all the legal jargon and the options I had. You can tell that she wants you to succeed. Ultimately, Lisa got me the results I wanted through calculated decisions and was there from start to finish.
Lisa is absolutely amazing. She is one of the most intelligent and articulate people I've worked with from any field. Lisa listened carefully to my story and explained the options for legal action. In the end, I settled with my former employer via a severance package rather than pursuing a lawsuit. Working with Lisa behind the scenes, I negotiated a 600+% increase in the initial offer from my company. Lisa spent at least 10 hours working with me and advising me, and did not charge me a dime. My conversations with Lisa spread over several months due to the complexity and changes of the case. Even after not speaking for months, Lisa remembered the many details of my story. Lisa advised me promptly, over weekends, and until the day she went into labor! I finished the process working with one of her partners, who charged a reasonable flat-fee for reviewing the final documents. For me, pursuing my case and working with Lisa was about so much more than money -- it was about fighting for justice and the validity of my experience. And, throughout the entire process it was clear to me that Lisa CARED. When you are experiencing retaliation and hostility in your workplace, things can become very dark and confusing. Lisa validated my experience and confirmed that the company was acting illegally. Lisa cut through the confusion, found the facts, explained my rights, and helped me stand taller throughout the process. Lisa is an excellent person and attorney, and she's fierce and passionate about justice. I cannot recommend her enough.
I found Lisa Burke from reading reviews here at AVVO. Lisa’s reviews stood out to me because the people leaving the reviews were above and beyond pleased with not only Lisa’s Legal skills but also the great person she was. I decided based on these great AVVO reviews to give Lisa a call. I needed an attorney to represent me in a matter against a former employer. I emailed Lisa with some details of my situation. Shortly thereafter I received a phone call from Lisa. She was warm and very professional. It became clear immediately that I was talking to a person with excellent intelligence. She quickly grasped my complex situation and asked the exactly right questions to clarify her understanding of my complex situation. She spoke with me at no charge for almost an hour. Then I emailed Lisa all my documents for her review. Lisa did not charge me anything for this review. A few days later Lisa finished her review of my documentation and scheduled a phone call. On that Phone call I received good and bad news. Lisa told me that after her extensive review of my documents she believed I had an excellent case and she wanted to pursue it. Unfortunately her and the firm discovered there was a conflict of interest that exists so even though they wanted to represent they could not because of this existing condition. I fully understand their position, as every organization has to screen for potential conflicts of interest before they can enter into a contract with a new client. Lisa then kindly informed me of her viewpoints of my case and gave me some advice. By this time Lisa must have spent at least 10 hours on reviewing my case. Still after all this time reviewing and then nearly 2 hours of phone calls Lisa never asked me to pay anything. This is so generous and especially appreciated when you are un-employed. Now if Lisa had just said goodbye at this point I would have been beyond pleased with my experience with her. But what she did next was un-believable. She gave me the names of two other excellent firms - those that only professionals in an industry would know of. She said to contact these two firms and I could let them know that Lisa referred me. Then Lisa informed me that many times attorneys turn down cases not because they don’t think the case is valid nor because they do not want to represent the client, she said that attorneys many times turn down a case because they do not have the time in their schedule to take on another case. Lisa told me that if this is the case with these two firms she recommends then contacting her and she will provide me with other good firms to contact. Wow! Finally if you find yourself in my situation needing an attorney to represent you in an employment matter, you will notice that your self-esteem is pretty far down from its all time highs. At all times Lisa treated me with respect, made me feel valued and even thanked me for doing what she felt was the right thing that I did in my employment situation. For me Lisa far exceeded these already outstanding reviews of her in AVVO. If you find yourself in an unfortunate situation where you need an employment attorney then please contact Lisa Burke. It will be the best decision you will have made in a long time.
Lisa represented me in a complex employment case. I was deeply wronged by my prior employer. She fought hard for my best interests and was a great communicator throughout the process. She walked me through all of my legal options, was patient and always very compassionate as I was going through a difficult personal time. In the past, I’ve had a negative association with attorneys. Lisa has single handedly changed this through her zealous and persistent advocacy on my behalf. I highly recommended Lisa!
If you are looking for a very smart, passionate and caring lawyer, then give Lisa a call. My wife was involved in some dubious and scandalous PIP [AKA - Performance improvement plan]. I call it performance indictment plan. We reached out to Lisa and she gave us continuous guidance, support, and advice until the company withdrew the plan and apologized to my wife. She responds to our messages, emails promptly even while on vacation. We were ready to move on, but through informed guidance, my wife still has her job. Lisa is NOT the typical money-hungry employment lawyer. She sincerely cares about her clients and understands the emotional torture such clients go through. I have also recommended my daughter to her with the same positive result. If you have to need to talk to a previous client, get my info from Lisa and I will be happy to talk to you. Thank you a million times Lisa. May the Lord bless you and your business very richly.

Still after all this time reviewing and then nearly 2 hours of phone calls Lisa never asked me to pay anything. This is so generous and especially appreciated when you are un-employed. Now if Lisa had just said goodbye at this point I would have been beyond pleased with my experience with her. But what she did next was un-believable. She gave me the names of two other excellent firms - those that only professionals in an industry would know of. She said to contact these two firms and I could let them know that Lisa referred me. Then Lisa informed me that many times attorneys turn down cases not because they don’t think the case is valid nor because they do not want to represent the client, she said that attorneys many times turn down a case because they do not have the time in their schedule to take on another case. Lisa told me that if this is the case with these two firms she recommends then contacting her and she will provide me with other good firms to contact. Wow! Finally if you find yourself in my situation needing an attorney to represent you in an employment matter, you will notice that your self-esteem is pretty far down from its all time highs. At all times Lisa treated me with respect, made me feel valued and even thanked me for doing what she felt was the right thing that I did in my employment situation. For me Lisa far exceeded these already outstanding reviews of her in AVVO. If you find yourself in an unfortunate situation where you need an employment attorney then please contact Lisa Burke. It will be the best decision you will have made in a long time.
Lisa represented me in a complex employment case. I was deeply wronged by my prior employer. She fought hard for my best interests and was a great communicator throughout the process. She walked me through all of my legal options, was patient and always very compassionate as I was going through a difficult personal time. In the past, I’ve had a negative association with attorneys. Lisa has single handedly changed this through her zealous and persistent advocacy on my behalf. I highly recommended Lisa!
If you are looking for a very smart, passionate and caring lawyer, then give Lisa a call. My wife was involved in some dubious and scandalous PIP [AKA - Performance improvement plan]. I call it performance indictment plan. We reached out to Lisa and she gave us continuous guidance, support, and advice until the company withdrew the plan and apologized to my wife. She responds to our messages, emails promptly even while on vacation. We were ready to move on, but through informed guidance, my wife still has her job. Lisa is NOT the typical money-hungry employment lawyer. She sincerely cares about her clients and understands the emotional torture such clients go through. I have also recommended my daughter to her with the same positive result. If you have to need to talk to a previous client, get my info from Lisa and I will be happy to talk to you. Thank you a million times Lisa. May the Lord bless you and your business very richly.
Lisa was my attorney and advocate for months as she navigated my hostility / discrimination/ retaliation case. Her empathy, professionalism, and pure knowledge of the law is next level. She gave me confidence when I felt alone. And she guided me into what was best for me. I’ve never met an attorney like Lisa and I would give her the highest recommendation.
Here is the short of it: Lisa is an amazing human being that also happens to be an outstanding attorney. First, she knows the law inside out. She is a gifted writer. She meticulously and proactively works through every step of litigation. She is 100% collaborative and brings years of experience to help guide decision-making. She never misses a deadline and returns every phone call in a timely manner. She is 100% vested in getting her clients the outcome they feel is fair. I can attest she did this for me! Here's my story: I received a promotion employment offer which I hired Lisa to help me negotiate. I expected to work with Lisa for about a week and it turned into an 18-month claim filed with the county court system. The situation with my employer became ugly when they used their significant resources to hire the most prestigious law firm in the Puget Sound to fight the case. Fortunately, Lisa is equally competent and regularly goes against these "Big Name" attorneys that are hired by corporate defendants. She diligently followed the legal process to collect all the facts necessary to support my case and the law. This may seem easy and I assure you it is NOT. To get the facts Lisa had to use her expertise and experience to ensure that she was not out-maneuvered by the opponent's curveballs and tricks; they never seemed to end! Through this battle, Lisa was professional with opposing counsel. As her client, she kept me in the loop, educated me on the legal process, advised me of potential outcomes, and kept a positive and encouraging outlook. It took 18 months, partially due to a 4 month COVID delay, AND I could not be happier with my outcome!!! This employment consultation unexpectedly turned into a major life experience. I am grateful to have shared it with Lisa. She believed in me <3
I hired Lisa to review a separation agreement with my employer. She was very knowledgeable about the law, detailed in her review of my documents, broke things down in simple terms, and provided outstanding advice that ensured I got the best possible separation negotiated. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone!
I have never been in a situation where I needed a lawyer, I really dreaded this process but Lisa made everything so easy, she showed that she CARES and I 1000% TRUST her. Lisa did not pressure me into anything, always gave me options and was very honest with everything. Lisa actually wants to help people, it’s not easy to find a lawyer who is so genuine in the way they want to help you. I’m so lucky I found her and I am keeping her contact for the future. I would highly recommend Lisa to anyone - she is amazing!
I was expecting everything about my situation to be stressful, on going, emotional and exhausting. My experience was the exact opposite and that is SOLELY because of Lisa Burke!! She made things SO easy and stress free. Most of all, I TRUST her!! She had my best interest in mind and was so patient and kind. I can not refer her enough. She is nothing short of exceptional!
Hiring Lisa was the best decision I made when exploring my legal options for a work-related issue. I can confirm that Lisa knows the legal system like the back of her hand. While these types of situations can be nerve-racking and anxiety-inducing, Lisa is the calm, steady voice that makes you feel like you're not alone. She helped me understand everything and was empathetic but straightforward, explaining all the legal jargon and the options I had. You can tell that she wants you to succeed. Ultimately, Lisa got me the results I wanted through calculated decisions and was there from start to finish.
Lisa is absolutely amazing. She is one of the most intelligent and articulate people I've worked with from any field. Lisa listened carefully to my story and explained the options for legal action. In the end, I settled with my former employer via a severance package rather than pursuing a lawsuit. Working with Lisa behind the scenes, I negotiated a 600+% increase in the initial offer from my company. Lisa spent at least 10 hours working with me and advising me, and did not charge me a dime. My conversations with Lisa spread over several months due to the complexity and changes of the case. Even after not speaking for months, Lisa remembered the many details of my story. Lisa advised me promptly, over weekends, and until the day she went into labor! I finished the process working with one of her partners, who charged a reasonable flat-fee for reviewing the final documents. For me, pursuing my case and working with Lisa was about so much more than money -- it was about fighting for justice and the validity of my experience. And, throughout the entire process it was clear to me that Lisa CARED. When you are experiencing retaliation and hostility in your workplace, things can become very dark and confusing. Lisa validated my experience and confirmed that the company was acting illegally. Lisa cut through the confusion, found the facts, explained my rights, and helped me stand taller throughout the process. Lisa is an excellent person and attorney, and she's fierce and passionate about justice. I cannot recommend her enough.
I found Lisa Burke from reading reviews here at AVVO. Lisa’s reviews stood out to me because the people leaving the reviews were above and beyond pleased with not only Lisa’s Legal skills but also the great person she was. I decided based on these great AVVO reviews to give Lisa a call. I needed an attorney to represent me in a matter against a former employer. I emailed Lisa with some details of my situation. Shortly thereafter I received a phone call from Lisa. She was warm and very professional. It became clear immediately that I was talking to a person with excellent intelligence. She quickly grasped my complex situation and asked the exactly right questions to clarify her understanding of my complex situation. She spoke with me at no charge for almost an hour. Then I emailed Lisa all my documents for her review. Lisa did not charge me anything for this review. A few days later Lisa finished her review of my documentation and scheduled a phone call. On that Phone call I received good and bad news. Lisa told me that after her extensive review of my documents she believed I had an excellent case and she wanted to pursue it. Unfortunately her and the firm discovered there was a conflict of interest that exists so even though they wanted to represent they could not because of this existing condition. I fully understand their position, as every organization has to screen for potential conflicts of interest before they can enter into a contract with a new client. Lisa then kindly informed me of her viewpoints of my case and gave me some advice. By this time Lisa must have spent at least 10 hours on reviewing my case.

Ultimately, Lisa got me the results I wanted through calculated decisions and was there from start to finish.
Lisa is absolutely amazing. She is one of the most intelligent and articulate people I've worked with from any field. Lisa listened carefully to my story and explained the options for legal action. In the end, I settled with my former employer via a severance package rather than pursuing a lawsuit. Working with Lisa behind the scenes, I negotiated a 600+% increase in the initial offer from my company. Lisa spent at least 10 hours working with me and advising me, and did not charge me a dime. My conversations with Lisa spread over several months due to the complexity and changes of the case. Even after not speaking for months, Lisa remembered the many details of my story. Lisa advised me promptly, over weekends, and until the day she went into labor! I finished the process working with one of her partners, who charged a reasonable flat-fee for reviewing the final documents. For me, pursuing my case and working with Lisa was about so much more than money -- it was about fighting for justice and the validity of my experience. And, throughout the entire process it was clear to me that Lisa CARED. When you are experiencing retaliation and hostility in your workplace, things can become very dark and confusing. Lisa validated my experience and confirmed that the company was acting illegally. Lisa cut through the confusion, found the facts, explained my rights, and helped me stand taller throughout the process. Lisa is an excellent person and attorney, and she's fierce and passionate about justice. I cannot recommend her enough.
I found Lisa Burke from reading reviews here at AVVO. Lisa’s reviews stood out to me because the people leaving the reviews were above and beyond pleased with not only Lisa’s Legal skills but also the great person she was. I decided based on these great AVVO reviews to give Lisa a call. I needed an attorney to represent me in a matter against a former employer. I emailed Lisa with some details of my situation. Shortly thereafter I received a phone call from Lisa. She was warm and very professional. It became clear immediately that I was talking to a person with excellent intelligence. She quickly grasped my complex situation and asked the exactly right questions to clarify her understanding of my complex situation. She spoke with me at no charge for almost an hour. Then I emailed Lisa all my documents for her review. Lisa did not charge me anything for this review. A few days later Lisa finished her review of my documentation and scheduled a phone call. On that Phone call I received good and bad news. Lisa told me that after her extensive review of my documents she believed I had an excellent case and she wanted to pursue it. Unfortunately her and the firm discovered there was a conflict of interest that exists so even though they wanted to represent they could not because of this existing condition. I fully understand their position, as every organization has to screen for potential conflicts of interest before they can enter into a contract with a new client. Lisa then kindly informed me of her viewpoints of my case and gave me some advice. By this time Lisa must have spent at least 10 hours on reviewing my case. Still after all this time reviewing and then nearly 2 hours of phone calls Lisa never asked me to pay anything. This is so generous and especially appreciated when you are un-employed. Now if Lisa had just said goodbye at this point I would have been beyond pleased with my experience with her. But what she did next was un-believable. She gave me the names of two other excellent firms - those that only professionals in an industry would know of. She said to contact these two firms and I could let them know that Lisa referred me. Then Lisa informed me that many times attorneys turn down cases not because they don’t think the case is valid nor because they do not want to represent the client, she said that attorneys many times turn down a case because they do not have the time in their schedule to take on another case. Lisa told me that if this is the case with these two firms she recommends then contacting her and she will provide me with other good firms to contact. Wow! Finally if you find yourself in my situation needing an attorney to represent you in an employment matter, you will notice that your self-esteem is pretty far down from its all time highs. At all times Lisa treated me with respect, made me feel valued and even thanked me for doing what she felt was the right thing that I did in my employment situation. For me Lisa far exceeded these already outstanding reviews of her in AVVO. If you find yourself in an unfortunate situation where you need an employment attorney then please contact Lisa Burke. It will be the best decision you will have made in a long time.
Lisa represented me in a complex employment case. I was deeply wronged by my prior employer. She fought hard for my best interests and was a great communicator throughout the process. She walked me through all of my legal options, was patient and always very compassionate as I was going through a difficult personal time. In the past, I’ve had a negative association with attorneys. Lisa has single handedly changed this through her zealous and persistent advocacy on my behalf. I highly recommended Lisa!
If you are looking for a very smart, passionate and caring lawyer, then give Lisa a call. My wife was involved in some dubious and scandalous PIP [AKA - Performance improvement plan]. I call it performance indictment plan. We reached out to Lisa and she gave us continuous guidance, support, and advice until the company withdrew the plan and apologized to my wife. She responds to our messages, emails promptly even while on vacation. We were ready to move on, but through informed guidance, my wife still has her job. Lisa is NOT the typical money-hungry employment lawyer. She sincerely cares about her clients and understands the emotional torture such clients go through. I have also recommended my daughter to her with the same positive result. If you have to need to talk to a previous client, get my info from Lisa and I will be happy to talk to you. Thank you a million times Lisa. May the Lord bless you and your business very richly.
Lisa was my attorney and advocate for months as she navigated my hostility / discrimination/ retaliation case. Her empathy, professionalism, and pure knowledge of the law is next level. She gave me confidence when I felt alone. And she guided me into what was best for me. I’ve never met an attorney like Lisa and I would give her the highest recommendation.
Here is the short of it: Lisa is an amazing human being that also happens to be an outstanding attorney. First, she knows the law inside out. She is a gifted writer. She meticulously and proactively works through every step of litigation. She is 100% collaborative and brings years of experience to help guide decision-making. She never misses a deadline and returns every phone call in a timely manner. She is 100% vested in getting her clients the outcome they feel is fair. I can attest she did this for me! Here's my story: I received a promotion employment offer which I hired Lisa to help me negotiate. I expected to work with Lisa for about a week and it turned into an 18-month claim filed with the county court system. The situation with my employer became ugly when they used their significant resources to hire the most prestigious law firm in the Puget Sound to fight the case. Fortunately, Lisa is equally competent and regularly goes against these "Big Name" attorneys that are hired by corporate defendants. She diligently followed the legal process to collect all the facts necessary to support my case and the law. This may seem easy and I assure you it is NOT. To get the facts Lisa had to use her expertise and experience to ensure that she was not out-maneuvered by the opponent's curveballs and tricks; they never seemed to end! Through this battle, Lisa was professional with opposing counsel. As her client, she kept me in the loop, educated me on the legal process, advised me of potential outcomes, and kept a positive and encouraging outlook. It took 18 months, partially due to a 4 month COVID delay, AND I could not be happier with my outcome!!! This employment consultation unexpectedly turned into a major life experience. I am grateful to have shared it with Lisa. She believed in me <3
I hired Lisa to review a separation agreement with my employer. She was very knowledgeable about the law, detailed in her review of my documents, broke things down in simple terms, and provided outstanding advice that ensured I got the best possible separation negotiated. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone!
I have never been in a situation where I needed a lawyer, I really dreaded this process but Lisa made everything so easy, she showed that she CARES and I 1000% TRUST her. Lisa did not pressure me into anything, always gave me options and was very honest with everything. Lisa actually wants to help people, it’s not easy to find a lawyer who is so genuine in the way they want to help you. I’m so lucky I found her and I am keeping her contact for the future. I would highly recommend Lisa to anyone - she is amazing!
I was expecting everything about my situation to be stressful, on going, emotional and exhausting. My experience was the exact opposite and that is SOLELY because of Lisa Burke!! She made things SO easy and stress free. Most of all, I TRUST her!! She had my best interest in mind and was so patient and kind. I can not refer her enough. She is nothing short of exceptional!
Hiring Lisa was the best decision I made when exploring my legal options for a work-related issue. I can confirm that Lisa knows the legal system like the back of her hand. While these types of situations can be nerve-racking and anxiety-inducing, Lisa is the calm, steady voice that makes you feel like you're not alone. She helped me understand everything and was empathetic but straightforward, explaining all the legal jargon and the options I had. You can tell that she wants you to succeed.
