Effort, Reliabilty, Excellent Communication, Empathy = Brian Burke

I have hired Brian for two divorces. The first was a long, drawn out, child custody case that lasted 27 months. Brian was optimistic, but realistic. He kept the pressure and attention on this case, and was in constant contact with me. He led and guided my actions, offered suggestions, and stayed clos...e with me. He never faltered. In the end, I gained custody of my son. In SC, a man getting custody is certainly an exception to the rule. My son has flourished, becoming a straight A student, District Cub Scout of the Year, a star soccer player, and has become a fine young man. My second time was much less complicated, we had no children, and it was just marital property settlement. Brian moved through our case quickly, thoroughly, and stayed in contact. He filed all motions promptly, and we got through it as quickly as possible. I would recommend him to anyone seeking a top shelf family attorney.

Excellent Attorney

After my son got in to some trouble in Charleston we contacted Brian. He was professional and explained the charges. He was detailed in what we needed to do and also explained what would happen in the future if my son was convicted. We are very grateful for the time and information. Very highly recom...mended!

I retained Mr. Burke after a potential career ending mishap. I was immediately relieved after consulting with him that I had made the right choice concerning who was representing me. Mr. Burke spoke clearly and to the point, not hiding any information while being honest. This is exactly what I was lo...oking for, honesty. Instead of telling me what I wanted to hear, he informed me what I needed to hear. I applaud Mr. Burke, and would highly recommended his services to anyone in need of solid representation.

highly recommend without reservations

I had recently hired Brian for a family court matter and couldn't have been more pleased as a client. He was professional and accurately assessed the situation when there really wasn't much time due to a deadline. Most importantly though, he gave me realistic expectations of potential outcomes and w...hat really to expect for a successful outcome for me. I have hired lawyers before and never got that attention to detail as I have from him. He is extremely honest too and I always felt confident that he had my best interest in mind. I was extremely satisfied with my outcome. Even if the situation had not gone my way, I still would have felt that I had excellent representation from Brian Burke. I would highly recommend him when you need an attorney.

Great Attorney

I thought I would never need an attorney and the process of finding the right one for my family and I was very stressful. I interviewed three attorneys, some from Broad Street and others here in Mount Pleasant, before finding Mr. Burke. I immediately felt more at ease and knew that I had found th...e person who would represent me and my family most competently. He took the time to explain things to me and made sure that I was comfortable with the fees he charged. He even allowed me to do some of the "leg work" on my own case in order to minimize my costs. This was a huge help to me financially but also helped to ease my concerns as I could see my case coming together before my eyes. My case eventually settled at mediation due to his hard work and preparation. Thank you Mr. Burke!
