Amazing Lawyer

Where does one begin to describe such an amazing attorney? I met Mr. Burke on one of the most stressful days of my life. My fiancé had been “ at the wrong place at the wrong time “ and was arrested. I know that’s “ what everyone say!!” However it is the truth and although everyone else made me feel t...hat way, the same was not said for Mr. Burke. Throughout this whole time Mr. Burke was my rock. He explained everything detail by detail answered every question no matter how big or small, with the kindest most respectful manner. Mr. Burke always came to court fully prepared, worked every avenue till the furtherest extent. Needless to say this fantastic lawyer won the case, but he also gained a lifetime client. I refer everyone to him. I might also say his rate was extremely competitive considering the education and deligence he provides. I could go on for days, but I would like to thank Mr. Burke because of him my fiancé was released we were able to have a beautiful wedding and I recently gave birth to our son. Thank you again to this wonderful man !

Best attorney in the área.

Hi I hired attorney Burke on a drug case, I was looking to get 5 yrs sentence however, Burke knows the law and trust me he will find the way to defended you with everything possible. this man turn in to a leon in a court room my case was a dismiss no time no probation because of the way my case was h...andle he knows the law very well and he will fight for you. He was available for me even on weekends I recommend this lawyer with 5 stars And beyond. I am a Hispanic female mother of two and when i thought the all world end it for me that they that I got arrested attorney Burke got me free outside on bond and fought my case until dismissed, this man got compassion and he care for his clients.

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!

Great work - NOT GUILTY!

Tom did an exceptional job in the research and execution of my case. I had two felony charges resulting from false allegations of a drunk "witness" / victim, and Tom did his research and filed motions. Due to personal issues, and not residing in MA, Tom had to reschedule a motion and the trial a coup...le of times, which he did willingly to help me. Ultimately, the plea deal offered to us on the trial date was not a good deal, and Tom WON my case, the jury finding me NOT GUILTY on all counts (two felonies and an underlying misdemeanor, which was added as a verdict option the day of the trial).
