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.

Attorney Burke was very professional and helpful throughout my year long case.

Attorney Burke represented me in a wrongly accused 3rd DUI case. Mr. Burke was very precise and helpful in investigating my witnesses that were with me that day. It was very thorough and precise with all that he did leading up to my case. The jury deliberated for all of 3 minutes and my life was back... to normal and I could breath again. Thanks to Attorney Burke for reassuring me and my family from the very get go that all would turn out good! Would recommend Attorney Burke to friends in family if they were in need!
