Burkett has you back!

Alexandra is amazing! She helped me through my divorce in a timely manner, and with minimal conflict. She has a great knowledge of law and did everything to ensure the best outcome!

Posted by Eric | June 09, 2022 | Hired Attorney | Divorce & Separation

A lawyer who ares about her clients best interests when they can't see it for themselves.

As we all know divorce can be a very ugly and tough time. Alex kept me grounded and focused on what were the important things that needed to be done. She looks at the long game, and is patient (much more patient that I was being). She knows the laws inside and out. She will fight for you and you litt...le ones for what is fair and safe.

Divorce

Through the process of divorce, Alex was supportive, knowledgeable & understanding. She listened, suggested and guided me through issues. Her thoroughness of explaining all options and consequences was helpful in my decisions. If you are looking for someone to tell you in a straightforward fashion ...your options, then Alex will. Her support staff, Jessica, is very professional, efficient and kind.

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!

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."
