Ethical, brilliant, powerful, knowledgable. Always works with full integrity, proper discovery and truth. Don't expect him to play any games. He is truly about equity and since family law is about equity this is what you get. I am so very happy that I retained him. His work and that of his staff was flawless, deep and highly potent. I would recommend him without hesitation.

Robert was very aggressive in helping me through my divorce and custody negotiations. Without his expert guidance, my ex-wife would have been able to take my daughter out of the state permanently. I have no reservations in recommending to him to anyone in need of a divorce attorney.

Robert Burch and his team handled revisions to an existing spousal/child support agreement with utmost professionalism and achieved a settlement in the nick of time. I am a two-time satisfied client and can highly recommend Robert Burch to anyone seeking divorce assistance. He does all he can to minimize fees, which is unusual for his profession.

Mr Burch's deep knowledge of the family court system, combined with well thought out discussion, helped me to modify the amount of support I pay my ex when my income decreased.

You will find no better organization than the above to handle one of the most difficult life altering events as divorce. The Law Offices of Burch, Coulston & Shepard, LLP hires the finest employees to assure each client is comfortable with every step of the process. I would recommend Robert Burch to anyone who fears the uncertain and wants their representation to think outside the box. They say the proof is in the pudding and I have proof. Thank you Mr. Burch and Staff.

Mr. Burch and his team were outstanding. We have all had friends with the horrible stories of incompetent attorneys milking the client or the system. Mr. Burch and his team are nothing like that. They get right to the point, explain the pros and cons, offer cogent advice, execute in a timely manner, and get to the resolution. At several points in this divorce process, the incompetence or whatever of the opposing attorney threatened to derail everything, but he and his team expertly steered the ship toward the goal. I couldn't have done it without them. If you are in need of his services, hire him first.

I had an issue with another attorney related to my divorce and Attorney Burch made time in his schedule to review the situation, make a number of thoughtful suggestions, and provide the unbiased information I needed to try and address the situation at hand. He was more helpful and engaged in meeting than my former attorney was in over a year.

Robert Burch represented me through a dissolution process spanning two years, ending in a fair and satisfying settlement with regards to custody, child support, spousal support and the division of assets. He is ethical, compassionate and a fierce advocate for his client. He is an exceptionally quick study with a great memory and a superior understanding of the financial aspects of divorce. Not once did I doubt his judgment, work ethic or whether I was getting the best representation possible. I highly recommend Mr. Burch to OC and Inland Empire residents looking for an exceptional attorney.

I have had a very good experience working with Robert and Courtney on my case. High ethics legally, professionally and personally. My paperwork has been well-prepared and they are strategically on top of things. Very sharp. As you can tell. I couldn't be happier and I have peace knowing my money is being spent with good people. I can sleep well at night.
