Awesome Attorney I am grateful I had him on my side

In December 2012 my family was very lucky to obtain Attorney Burton as our attorney. He fought for us tooth and nail endlessly on our case from the time we became his client. As our attorney, Attorney Burton has fought for us as he was fighting in court for his very own family. Attorney Burton was v...ery tentatively on understanding, as well as listening to our concerns and future needs to be met, due to the injuries that we obtained in our accident; and the needs that we will need to seek in our lawsuit for future damages. Due to no fault to my family the company which we sued was at fault and was very negligent for the cause of our injuries; and so Attorney Burton added to our lawsuit punitive damages and which we had a gracious victory in that portion of our lawsuit judgement as well. The amazing characteristics about how Attorney Burton worked so hard for my family is how he preformed in the court room and the research he done for our case was incredible remarkable. When it came to trial he showed up and showed out with out any stops; he reached and gained knowledge of my case to there was no more fight in the end; which we were so gracious to God for him for that hunger to win justice for our family. He had researched so much and was so well prepared than the other side that the judge called him, " a viking," because he was not going down without fight for my family, with previous cases to back up his reasons on why we should win our case as well as for punitive judgement. We was also very grateful because each step of the way he was encouraging and made sure we understood every process and step that was taking place on our case. If we was not sure on what was the process and needed him to break it down to us he was very patient in doing so, with each one of us, which I am grateful for as well. Attorney Burton answered any questions and did not make you feel small about asking them; because in his word, "no question is a dumb question." We were so grateful for the outcome of our case that we often referral his firm every chance and opportunity that we get to give people his name and number. Sincerely Grateful

Very professional, knowledgeable, and helpful

Jason was amazing to work with! We had a hot water heater bust and several issues take place with the disaster relief company. Jason was very knowledgeable about everything involved in the process and thoroughly read through all the documentation needed for the case. We are so thankful for all of th...e hard work Jason put into our case and his thoroughness and professionalism!
