Amazing experience!

I would highly recommend Phillip as a family attorney. He offered valuable and professional feedback on my matter despite the short notice. His honesty, accommodation, and empathetic approach were greatly appreciated, providing clear direction for my case. Phillip's human touch made a significant dif...ference, showing sensitivity and empathy towards my situation. Thank you, Phillip!

If your looking for 200%, Philip S Burnham is your guy. Thank You Phil

I'm hoping there's enough space to comment on my experience with Philip as he assisted me on a very personal matter... I was recommended by two different sources, so I hoped & prayed this would be my guy. As fate would have it, I couldn't have been more ecstatic with my experience. Philip possesses a...n energy level beyond imagination, which was demonstrated repeatedly & consistently. I experienced it through his knowledge of the law & attention to detail entirely whether it was emails, calls, texting even facebook. I never knew compassion, value and honesty could exist in an attorney until I met Philip. He was truthful every step of the way whether the scenario was positive or negative. Let me simply state that I was a prime client that any attorney would have turned away. Philip stood by me with utmost heart, soul & dedication to ensure the job got done, in the short amount of time frame that we had to work with. I will be eternally grateful to him and speaking of him highly to all my friends. If your looking for 200%, Philip S Burnham is your guy. Thank You Phil :-)

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
