Awesome lawyer, Great man!!!

Mr. Burke is a great lawyer, he does his job well an with integrity , he does not let his clients down an will not let them be taken advantage of by DA's looking to make a name for themselves . Mr. Burke is an honest lawyer an that is what i liked about him the most. He works hard for his clients. He... is the man you want on your team. I was in a very stressful situation an Mr. Burke kept my worries at ease by always keeping me updated an working hard. I was looking at the next 20 years of my life in prison for an attempt murder/mayhem case, an not just any lawyer can handle that type of case. I had already been on my 2nd superior court lawyer by the time i contacted Mr. Burke, he understood my difficulties and assured me i would not have the same problems with him, an i did not. Mr. Burke is a great man an lawyer, I would highly recommend him to anyone that's looking for a lawyer that works hard an gets he job done.

#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.

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.

Excellent lawyer

I worked with Tom since March 2014. He was extremely persistent and understanding of my criminal case. Because of his strong effort and knowledge my case got dismissed. He also helped me with a housing matter which ended up in my favor as well. I've recommended him to my sister, family and friends. H...e is excellent at what he does and i would strongly recommend him.
