#1 Crminal Defense Attorney

Thomas Burke is an excellent attorney. I've hired him on more then one occasion and he's always gone above and beyond for me. Just recently he got my case dismissed out of superior court. I was facing a few years in jail after wrongfully being arrested. Tom worked hard to make sure i never got any pr...obation or jail time. He's verry knowledgeable in criminal defense. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a criminal defense lawyer.

A great attorney

Mr. Burke went above and beyond to make sure all charges were dropped against me. He kept communicating all during the process i would definitely go back to him if i ever need representation and will refer anyone else to him. I appreciated all the time and effort he invested to prove my innocence. ... Thank you

Top-notch criminal defense attorney

Attorney Burke defended me in a DUI case that went to trial and secured a jury verdict in my favor. I could not have been more pleased with his representation from start to finish. He was very knowledgable as to the law and procedure, well-prepared and extremely skilled and effective in court. If you... find yourself in the position of needing an excellent criminal defense attorney, I would recommend Attorney Burke without hesitation.

Hardest working lawyer in the North Shore

When I was wrongfully convicted on multiple felony charges I turned to attorney Burke after a referral from a friend. Described as “the best lawyer” he knew, attorney Burke worked his hardest in successfully getting all charges overturned and fighting for my innocence. Had it not been for him I can’t... imagine where my life would have ended up.

Criminal Defense Attorney

I was indicted on three serious charges and was I facing several years in prison. I was referred to Tom’s office because his rate was reasonable and I was told he digs in and exhausts every avenue to prove your innocence or minimize your sentence. I met with Tom and he collected the facts of the cas...e and was very direct about the potential consequences. As the lengthy case took several turns, Tom never disappointed me with his response time, his diligence and his attention to detail. Thanks to Tom’s efforts, he limited the sentence by years and I would recommend him to anyone.
