Karine Polis Burney

I have been represented by Karine Burney in multiple family law cases over the past ten years. My career keeps me away some evenings, travelling, and I run a partnership business on the side. In addition to divorce, I had two challenging contested child custody modifications, as a defendant and plain...tiff. Karine explained possible outcomes, managed risk, and expertly navigated the proceedings. Karine was thoroughly prepared and extremely proficient with her knowledge of the law, handling of the courtroom, mediation, and drafting judgements. Karine won a strong ruling in one instance, and a powerful settlement in another, with awards for legal fees. Karine is a master of the profession and I can not imagine having a better advocate or representative. Karine is honest, highly proficient, experienced, communicative, very hard working, and I can only offer my highest recommendation. More importantly, Karine shaped an outcome that is in the best interest of my children and their well being.

Every step of the way, Karine "had my back" and paid attention to every detail and advocated on my behalf anywhere/everywhere she possibly could. Meticulous preparation, phenomenal job in mediation, outstanding command of the courtroom. When it came time to need her help in "round 2" of my orde...al (in another state), Karine has been with me every step of the way, paying attention to details my WA-based legal counsel(s) have missed. If I could have Karine represent me in WA, I would have gladly paid the airfare, per diem, etc. and would have strongly preferred to have her "watching my back" here as well. Comparing/contrasting Karine's work against anyone else is currently not possible, as Karine has put three (3) other attorney's work to shame. I cannot advocate strongly enough to make sure you know Karine is absolutely awesome - and that you will do yourself a massive favor by getting her help in any family matter.
