Very helpful!

Steve brings great legal counsel to our company with his knowledge and expertise within the workplace environment. He is supportive and helpful in guiding us through all types of legal questions or concerns that may arise. It is not unusual for him to give an example to help in understanding ...the situation. His recommendations are valued and received with high regard.

Legal Questions - Answered!

Mr. Burgoon returned my call in person, and although he was busy, spoke with me twice, answering all questions that I had. He made a potentially complicated situation easy to understand.

Knowledgeable and Honest

I hired Mr. Burgoon to handle a personal injury case. He was very knowledgeable and explained the options to me clearly. He was patient in answering my questions. Mr. Burgoon was skilled in dealing with calls and document requests from the insurance company, and in negotiating a settlement with them.... I'm happy that I didn't have to go to trial and with the settlement I received. Mr. Burgoon is honest and the fees for his services are fair. I had confidence that he was always had my best interests in mind. I highly recommend Mr. Burgoon.

Fantastic! Helpful, and very knowledgeable.

I needed someone with direct expertise regarding my non-compete with my employer. I was faced with taking a new job, but being unsure of my decision due to this huge looming question of my current contract. Mr. Burgoon was not only extremely knowledgeable, but was immediately available, responsive,... and provided me the direct personal and legal advise I needed to ensure I made the right decision for myself and my family. Great person, and I would HIGHLY recommend.

Great all-around lawyer

Steve helped us with a couple of tough employment law questions. He educated us on the proper processes to follow, advised us on how to minimize our risk in the future, and helped us find good solutions that protected us without hurting our employees. He has also helped us with other smaller thing...s, like dealing with fraudulent copyright claims and figuring out the rules around recording our team's calls for training purposes. We're very happy with his work, his responsiveness, and his customer service. Highly recommended!

"Mr. Burgoon is one of the smartest attorneys out there. He’s an expert with procedure and has been a valuable resource to our firm when we have hard questions or need someone to bounce around tactical ideas with. His recent wins in a couple of hard-hitting sexual harassment cases are impressive but no surprise, as Steve is industrious, intelligent, and diligent in all matters."
