I also hired Alex as my divorce attorney. During our first initial consultations, she promised that she would fight for me. Thousands of dollars later and after I hired a new attorney, I received what I should have when I first filed. She is an attorney who will tell you she will fight for you, bu...t when their is a battle to be fought over your rights as a parent, she will succumb to the opposing attorney and still bill you, while not fully representing you. It was an eye opener about her character when she started representing my former spouse and her attorney instead of representing me and my rights as a parent. Do Not Hire unless you want to pay thousands of dollars to be misrepresented.

Ms. Burkett sold herself well in our first meeting. She was agreeable and acted compassionate. In hindsight, I feel she was not sincere. I hired her for a divorce that should have been quite simple. As soon as I retained her, things seemed to change. Her paralegal handled all communication (Ms. ...Burkett never was available unless I scheduled a face-to-face meeting). She seemed very unprepared for court, many times acting confused when I referred to the legal documents that her office (obviously her paralegal) prepared. She was always late for court and would then rush in, straight past me into the room with the judge and the opposing lawyer, leaving me in the waiting room and in the dark. I would never be advised of her strategy before court. She delayed proceedings and seemed to be working against me. Many times I felt she was my adversary instead of my representative. It didn't appear that she was listening to my opinions or wishes. Her bill ended up being several thousands more than she quoted me. It also seemed like it took a very long time to get a separation agreement and to finalize. In such a highly emotional situation as a divorce, I would avoid this lawyer. Her lack of attention is upsetting. Seriously, AVOID Alexandra Burkett.

I used her for my divorce and was extremely disappointed with her. The way she represented my case in our early meetings was was much different from how it turned out. I believe that she told me what I wanted to hear in order for me to retain her. My divorce was uncomplicated and should have been e...asy, but I felt that she hindered it's progress in order to get more money from me. I actually ended up paying about $5,000.00 over what she quoted me and when I questioned her, she said that I'd get some money back. I never did. She was also very hard to reach and did not keep me well informed. I also found her to be unprepared for our meetings. She also took almost 2 years to do the QUADRO, which I feel was excessive. She never made me feel that I was a priority and can honestly say that I often felt like I was at battle with her as much as I was with my husband and his attorney. Do yourself a favor and find another attorney. There has to be better ones out there.
