Ms. Burleson won my case when 2 other lawyers said I didn't have a chance. She is so passionate and caring about her clients. If you need a lawyer who will fight for you call her first. She really is experienced and knows how to win.
"Tonya is not a woman, she is a force of nature! Passionate, knowledgeable, diligent, experienced, and doesn't take "no" for an answer. She is the type of family law attorney you need for your contentious divorce. Tonya fights for her clients and she protects children. Hire Tonya, you will not be disappointed!"
"Ms. Burleson is a skilled litigator who zealously advocates for her clients while maintaining the highest degree of professionalism. She works to actively maintain an open channel of communication with opposing counsel to seek resolution at all stages of litigation when common ground presents itself."
"Tonya and I worked together on a matter involving the client's former attorney's negligence and setting aside a several-year-old divorce agreement. I handled the professional malpractice and Tonya the domestic relations issues. This was a highly complex matter involving almost six years of litigation. Due to the calamity of errors, this became the most complicated case many attorneys had ever seen. Tonya amazed me at her ability to organize the facts. She remembered dozens of interconnecting events spanning more than ten years. Tonya dedicated herself to the case we were able to resolve the client's issues fully. Due to my experience with Tonya, I have complete confidence that she will benefit any client she has the pleasure of representing."
