Review Alexandra Burkett

Alexandra is the best!

Posted by

Alexandra is excellent. She is highly respected by the Judges and court system. The respect has been earned by her high regard to being morally and ethically responsible. She responded quickly to any concerns I had. My divorce was high stress 3 year transaction and Alexandra never just settled to get it done. My children and I were her priority the entire time. Alexandra is truly a great attorney and I highly recommend her. Her office is staff is just as great and always compassionate and attentive to any needs I had as well.

(Separation/divorce)

Alexandra is an excellent lawyer. I had a consultation with her and really appreciated her care and concern for my best interest. Since I was pleased with my consultation, I hired her to be my lawyer. She always quickly responded to my emails and phone calls. She is also representing my niece and is doing an excellent job on her behalf. I would definitely recommend her to anyone who needs legal representation!

Thank you for excellent representation

I have worked with Alex for multiple court proceedings involving custody matters. Alex has upheld her end of the agreement with thorough communication, answering all my questions, and listening to my concerns. Her staff is also very pleasant and timely with their responses. Thank you and would highly recommend!

Caring, compassionate, and knowledgeable

Posted by

Alexandra did a wonderful job of representing my mother in a very sensitive case. She showed compassion and understanding right from our first meeting. My mom and I were impressed with her knowledge and straightforward approach to the situation. Alexandra was the exact lawyer we needed to get us through a very painful situation. I would recommend Alexandra to anyone needing a caring, well spoken, and knowledgeable lawyer.

Very Impressed by her

Posted by

After hiring another Attorney that wasn't doing anything for me, I was recommended to Alex and was glad I was! Even tho it was just a counseling appointment she took the time to talk to me and answer and advise me on many things my attorney didn't! I wanted to change Attorneys immediately but rather than take my money, she advised me that I was almost at the end of my case and it would be a waste of money for me to switch. I was VERY impressed and have recommend her to a friend of mine who is starting the divorce procedure. Thank you!

Alexandra - Excellent divorce attorney

Posted by

I met with three other attorneys before hiring Alexandra to represent me in a contentious divorce. Not one time did she allow me to feel that I was on my own. Her support was instrumental in helping me through the emotional side of a divorce. She recognized that a man could be in an abusive relationship and offered encouragement when I needed it. It was obvious during and after court proceedings that I had someone in my corner. At no time did I feel that Alexandra was not sincere. I thought a man had no chance in court but found this is not true. Alexandra was an excellent choice for me.

Call Alex - You'll be glad you did!

Posted by

So glad I chose Alex after having to go back to court again after my divorce was finalized. She is very knowledgeable of the law and was very easy to talk to regarding my concerns. Her staff were always extremely helpful and also well-informed regarding my case. Due to her diligence we were done quickly and with great results. Not to mention her fees are very reasonable. I have recommended her to several people ever since and they have had great results as well.

Highly recommend!!!

My experience with being represented by Alexandra has been nothing but exemplorary!! I feel that she represented me to the best of her ability based on the laws/guidelines that are in place regarding a divorce. She was always looking out for my best interest and kept the opposing party from recieving an unfair settlement! She was also very affordable considering the opposing party paid five times more then what my total fees ended up being!

Great child support and custody attorney

Posted by

I have been using Alex for over 5 years. She was extremely knowledgeable and professional. She came highly recommended by several of my friends as well. Throughout this time she successfully helped me retain full visitation of my children as well as fought hard to see and ensure the defendant paid child support. Not only that her fees were extremely reasonable. She consistently was caring and put me and and family's best interest first.

I endorse this lawyer. Alex zealously represents her client, while remaining practical and working with opposing counsel to craft a fair resolution.

Angelo Rose, Divorce and separation Attorney on Apr 20, 2016
Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

I have read a few reviews noted in "client" review section and am quite surprised. I have practiced with and against Alex for well over 10 years. I have referred her in excess of 30 clients, all of whom were very pleased. This is a spectacular attorney--she fights hard for her clients, knows the ins and outs of Family and Divorce law and is extremely well respected by peers (and judges) in the legal community. Strongly recommend this attorney.
