Peter Burnett is an outstanding attorney and person! I've never had the pleasure of meeting Peter face to face, but he came highly recommended, so I called him. He was surprisingly quick to respond. In my profession I speak with attorneys regularly and Peter is a breath of fresh air! He took his time with me, talked to me like a regular person, and listened. I place enormous value on these qualities. Peter knows what he's talking about. His legal advice put me in a the best possible position, delivering a wonderful outcome, and in my heart I believe he wanted what was best for me. Peter is down to earth, thoughtful, empathetic, fair, trustworthy and will be my first call if I ever find myself, or anyone I love, in the position where I need council. As a lay person, the thought of pursuing any kind of legal matter is daunting, and even more so without having a tried and true trusted attorney. I felt vulnerable going in, but my lasting impression after working with Peter was safe and cared for. Thank you Peter.
A BONAFIDE PREMIER CONSULTANT ON LEGAL MATTERS, WHEN IT MATTERS
As a school teacher and small business owner, I have to be able to discern the facts from fiction, find the value in things that I get, and draw out the essence of the information that I receive. I can tell you that Impeccable service, with the broadest range of professionals at his disposal and the most efficient execution of services with integrity makes Peter and his staff--I think--unquestionably, a giant in the litigation profession. I truly believe if the task is slight or monsterous. Peter will go the extra mile to help you receive a settlement that is warranted by your circimstances.
We usually never think about the need for legal consultation and/or representation. I had an accident settlement case that was extensive to prepare for and execute. While suffering from the mishap, I was blessed by my family's decsion to call the right counselor-- Burnette & Williams!
Now, it is passed and I can look forward to a bright future. I fully understand the value of the services of Peter and his staff; particularly, when I meet others who have met with catastrophic situations but have been poorly represented. I could only wish that I had met those people, at the time of their mishaps, to recommend the serivecs of Burnette & Williams, in Leesburg, Virginia.

"I have known Peter for 35 years plus having earned a reputation as a tenacious advocate for his client.

Rather than be satisfied, Peter continues to represent clients with the same commitment that makes each client feel he/she is the only client.
