David J Burgess

David guided me through a yearlong process of mediating a divorce settlement. He was a steady presence through a turbulent year, and an unswerving advocate. He helped me understand the complex legal issues that affected my family, and helped me set aside my emotions to keep my kids best interests at ...the center of all my decisions. The legal outcome was exactly what I hoped for, and I'm grateful for his guidance.

We hired David to mediate our divorce after a nearly 30 year relationship. Things for us were tense but we wanted to get it done with little stress and fanfare. David was a calm presence who offered up all possibilities and worked hard to draw us both out so that each of us would have our say and th...at all details would aired and documented. He prepared our court documents with attention to detail and patience after many edits. David allowed us to work much of this out via email allowing us to keep our expenses within budget. He has since offered advice and answered questions as they come up as we finalize the process. David made a very stressful time much easier to get through and left me feeling that I was treated fairly and with respect.

I first met David Burgess in 2010 after separating from my husband of over 30 years. A family friend who had used him when one of her teenagers needed legal help gave me his name. She recommended him unequivocally. When I first met David, I was shaky and frightened to say the least. His calm demean...or and thorough approach put me immediately at ease. Whist my division of assets wascalculated by my financial planner, David scrutinized it for fairness and completeness. David then translated this information into a precise legal document that would be accepted by the court without difficulty. He was patience with repeated delays in court dates due to my ex’s schedule and remained unflappable throughout. I highly recommend David Burgess.

I hired David to represent my brother, who had gotten himself into some serious trouble. David represented my brother with extreme professionalism, and helped us all, not only with legal advice, but as a great listener and negotiator. He has tremendous knowledge and patience with the law and with h...is clients. I have recommended him to others and will continue to do so.

I started working w/ David at a low point personally and financially in a seemingly unsolvable legal situation that affected my entire life outlook. I was recently married and had spent nearly six figures on the so called ‘big name’ law firms only to have the problem partially solved. David took my ...case and resolved two dockets with patience, perseverance and creative thinking. During difficult moments when I was losing hope David kept the fire of optimism burning. He was always fair and honorable in his accounting practices to the point where I was almost taken aback - in an industry that is notorious for over billing. While this all might seem like a paid commercial please believe me it is sincere when I state he is the exception to the common perceptions of attorneys. Keep David Burgess separate from the 1000 lawyers chained at the bottom of the ocean and well above sea level as a positive example for the industry!
