Highly recommended!

Alex was great! I was going through a nasty messy divorce and her knowledge and experience is what helped get my case resolved and in my favor. Alex was always timely with responses and legal documents. She was wonderful in explaining legal proceedings and offering her advice and suggestions. I would... highly recommend Alexandra as representation!

Knowledge

I would highly recommend her. My divorce was pretty uncontested but I got the feel that if I needed anything, she would have my back. The office as a whole was always great about answering any questions I had and making sure my paperwork was complete. They really made it a smooth process for me.

Divorce/Custody/Support Matter

I hired Alex to represent me in a Family Court matter, as well as an animus Divorce. Alex explained the process thoroughly, got me the results she indicated would be the likely outcome and was available by phone and e-mail. If she was not available immediately, her paralegal, Jessica, was and was p...rofessional and courteous. Attorney Burkett’s respected, no nonsense approach progressed my case - despite stall tactics from the other side. I was pleased with my representation and feel my outcome was fair and equitable.

Divorce

Alexandra is an outstanding divorce attorney. She listens carefully,caring, supportive during the whole process. She worked well with the other attorney and the court to get the resolution for me. Alex has represented myself and 2 other family members. We all speek highly of her. I highly recommend A...lexandra.

Very Impressed by her

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 rathe...r 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!

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."

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.
