Liza E. Burke's Reviews

In my case, and in the legal realm of Domestic Violence where the stakes are high, I couldn’t imagine having a better person fighting from my corner. At the beginning of my case I’d consulted with several Seattle-area attorneys and after struggling to make a decision, Liza was highly recommended to me by a relative whom she represented in the past. I quickly called Liza to schedule a consultation, where it didn’t take long to realize why she came highly recommended.

Liza is perceptive, intelligent, and thorough. She understood the complexity of my situation immediately and was incisive throughout my case. She was straightforward, not feeding me what I always wanted to hear, instead using her expertise to guard my best interests – something she never lost sight of. In the end, I was very happy with the results.

She was often the most polished person in the courtroom. There were occasions where the opposing party was left bumbling for words – demonstrating her skill and showing that her reputation as one of the best clearly preceded her. In between court meetings I always enjoyed my discussions with her because she was so personable, knowledgeable, prepared, and was able to bring levity to the situation. Her sense of humor is something I will miss.

Liza, it really was a pleasure watching you work your magic and I wish you continued success in the future! It always makes me happy to see success come to those who deserve it!

I highly recommend Liza Burke.

She represented my son through a very difficult and protracted legal issue. From the moment we met Liza, my son and I both felt a connection to her. I trusted her immediately. Liza has a deep understanding of juvenile law and of the juvenile court system. What I appreciate most about Liza is that she paints a realistic picture of your situation. She will keep hope alive, but she will not just tell you want you want to hear. She will tell you her true assessment of the situation. She will keep you informed and she will clearly outline all options.

If you have a juvenile that gets him/herself into a legal bind, I encourage you to look no further and call Liza. If you would like a more detailed reference, Liza can provide my contact information and I would be happy to share more. Again, look no further. You have found the best possible attorney in Liza.

I met Liza at a very scary, vulnerable point in my life. I was being accused of things I knew I was innocent of, but I was at a loss as to how to navigate this frightening legal situation I suddenly found myself in. Liza immediately gave me hope and made me feel a little more in control. Over the next several months, Liza guided me through the unfamiliar legal proceedings with kindness, humor, and her unwavering optimism. She worked tirelessly on our case, and it was very clear to me throughout that she is an excellent lawyer: she knows the law, is a creative problem solver, and is dedicated to her clients. When our case finally resolved, in our favor, I knew it was thanks to Liza Burke.

Having never been in trouble with the law and finding myself in a foreign country and having to go through the process of dealing with an domestic violence charge can be terrifying. I contacted many attorneys in the Seattle/Bellevue area and I am very happy that I decided to hire Liza Burke as my attorney.

Liza was professional, compassionate to my case, kind and respectful. She took the time to thoroughly explain the jusicial system, layout my options. I never felt any pressure from her to make any decisions until I was comfortable in understanding each process, Liza explained every aspect of my case. She was pateint and quick to respond to any inquires that I had and I never felt like I was being judged. Liza had my case dropped in less than a month and half without even going to court. I'm sure it would have been an even quicker if she didn't need to work around my travel schedule. I couldn't have asked for more. She did a fantastic job on representing me and I would reccommend Liza to any one of my friends and family if the situtation ever arose.

I was referred to Ms. Liza Burke by my family law attorney. Before I contacted Ms. Burke, I called several Criminal Law lawyers, in the Seattle metro area. Some of which I know personally.
I was very surprised how her competition and colleges hold her is such a high regards. After completing my research on Ms. Burke, I contacted her office to set up a consultation. After the consultation I was very confident in her ability to handle my cases.
At the first court appearance I was Asiatic on how well we did. I could have never dreamed of such a great outcome for the proceedings. Liza Burke entered into the court room with me, and strategically
CRUSHED the other party with her quick wit and vast knowledge of the law.
I would and will recommend her to anyone. (Except my opposition) I hope to never be in the type of legal situation that I was in. But if for some reason I am, the first call I will make is to Liza Burke.
The fact that her competition and colleges hold her is such a high regard is a clear factor to me that she is very highly capable and willing to take any challenge given to her head on with a professional, dedicated, and determined approach. I was able to see all of that while she represented me during a trying time in my life.

Ms. Burke was a bellweather for our family at a time of crisis. She has impeccible personal integrity and is well respected in the juvenile court system. Her guidance to our family both personally and professionally allowed our son to have the best outcome possible. We would highly recommend Liza and would use her again should the need arise

I'm very happy that I chose Liza to represent me against possible DV charges. She was able to talk to the prosecutor and convince him not to file charges. Throughout this, Liza was kind, responsive and held a great sense of humor to lift my spirits under trying circumstances. I highly recommend her as a defense attorney.

Got my DV case dismissed, helped with understanding the legal system and responded back to my calls real quick. Thank you Liza.

During the most difficult time of our life, we were fortunate to find Liza Burke to help us wade through the challenges. Liza's experience with juvenile run-ins with the law, made her a perfect fit for out troubles. Liza spent time talking with us to understand our situation. Liza was level-headed in her approach, using her knowledge of prosecutors and law to choose the right action at the right time. I always felt like she we "on-top" of our needs, and we were important to her.

I would like to thank Liza, for being Our Legal Angel ... her

for the truth with compassion and caring is commendable and deeply
appreciated.

Liza came highly referred to me by my brother- a lawyer - on the East Coast.

Liza is a formidable legal advocate for her client, as was demonstrated in my grandson's case.
Liza's expertise as a competent attorney is evident in that she was able
to achieve success in both cases. I would definitely recommend her to other potential clients.

Grandmother of client in DV case

Liza helped handled a case for our son in juvenile court. She's straight-forward and informative, she knows the system and is very thorough. She cares about her clients and does a great job of explaining the system if you've never been through it before. Our case resulted in a dismissal and we are very happy that we hired Liza.

Liza is an outstanding attorney and I highly recommend her if you are looking for a very professional and compassionate lawyer. I was charged with a DV felony, alleged by my wife. Liza made sure that the truth was uncovered and got the prosecutor to completely dismiss my case without ever going to trial.

I am glad that I found her after having some bad experience with my previous lawyer. Liza has great communication skills and responded to all my calls and e-mails promptly. Throughout the case, she kept me informed about the process and options I had. Liza has exceptional legal skills, is very knowledgeable and experienced while remembering that she represents humans during their most stressful time of their life. She is compassionate and understanding. Her positive attitude made this difficult time more bearable.

Thank you Liza for getting me my life back and saving my professional career.

Liza is the best attorney for all age groups . Liza represented my son ,my son was no more than 9 years old at the time when he was accused of crime at school. This incident would have required for my life to be turned upside down with CPS and other authorities for no good reason. I was a single parent that was in need of legal services and Liza helped me Pro-Bono. Liza is truly a blessing and has one of the biggest hearts.

Liza stepped right in and ascertained the situation and my case never made it to court. Liza is the best attorney to have and will give you 200% and more.

Thank you Liza and may you always be successful throughout your successful career in LAW!!!

I got to know about Liza through AVVO and approached her to help me with a DV case. My wife and I were misunderstood by the cops and getting a favourable verdict seemed impossible. To add to that complexity, both my wife and I are immigrants and any verdict would have had serious repercussions like deportation and other hardships.

Liza was very supportive and kept me informed all the time. I could call her for updates anytime. She included my choices and kept me aware of the hard choices we have to make. She strategized well and kept her cards close until the day of trial. What seemed to be an impossible case got dismissed despite ill driven efforts from City and the PD. It was a rollercoaster but my wife and I got out of it unscathed.

Thank you Liza. We are appreciative of your help and support though this stressful ordeal.

I feel very satisfied with my experience with Ms. Burke and feel lucky that I found her on the internet! She was very knowledgeable with the laws concerning our situation, which helped resolve the case very quickly and painlessly, to our best interest. I felt confident that she was giving us her best and the attention we needed. She put me at ease during a stressful time. In the court room I definately felt that I had the best lawyer!

Liza most importantly was successful in helping me out a difficult and unjust situation. The prosecutor ultimately dropped the charges. Her communications, advice was well worth the reasonable time and money spent in the case.

Liza did fantastic job representing me. She is very professional, always well prepared, and calm. Liza obviously has a great deal of experience in the Domestic Violence cases.

My family hired Liza to help us deal with a Juvenile criminal matter and had no regrets. Liza exceeded our expectations in terms of client service. It was a very difficult and stressful time for our family, filled with a lot of unknowns and Liza’s excellent communication style was invaluable in helping us get through the process. Our family has dealt with numerous lawyers in various capacities in the past, and Liza has been the best in her responsiveness to questions via e-mail and over the telephone. Anyone facing these issues will understand how important it is for families to get answers quickly and will certainly appreciate her style. The outcome of our case was favorable. Having Liza on our side got us through the emotional journey.

One outstanding lawyer. Ms. Burke has just finished representing me in a case of alleged domestic violence. She was very respectful during the entire time she worked with me, very very good sense of humor. She kept me informed of everything that was going on with my case either through e-mail or phone calls. Working with her was like talking to a good friend and listener. Even in the face of this serious charge she kept me calm and steady. Superb knowledge of the legal system she kept me informed of every step that was going to happen. I would highly recommend her to anyone needing a very skilled lawyer.

Liza represented me several years ago in a domestic violence case. I not only got a reasonable result, but lots of good support throughout this incredibly stressful process. She emerged with a creative and workable strategy to present to the judge and prosecutor that enabled me to continue on with my life. I will always remember her sense of humor and kindness in the face of adversity.

Ms. Burke is the most responsive caring and trustworthy attorneys that I have ever worked with. All calls and emails were returned within the same business day and typically within the Hour. She is very knowledgeable and informed on all of my criminal matters that arose.
