I was wrongfully terminated from a local government position. A friend recommended Mr. David Burkhalter when other lawyers would not return my calls. I made contact with their secretary who took a message. I received a return call nearly immediately. Consulted with Mr. Burkhalter and he took my case.... It took several months because of it being government but I was constantly kept in the loop of what was going on with my case. My calls and texts were answered within minutes. Over the months of gathering evidence and mandatory wait times and depositions Mr. Burkhalter and his staff became more the lawyer/client, more than friends, more like family. I was given very honest advice when I was needing it the most. I was out of pocket zero dollars. Mr. Burkhalter, his sons, and his staff are of the utmost in professionalism. I would absolutely recommend this firm. My case ultimately settled in my favor.

Typically I do not give 5 stars to anyone for anything, but Mr. Burkhalter and his staff have always gone above and beyond for me. Not only is Mr. Burkhalter a skilled trial lawyer but he is an even better person he is genuine in his want to provide you with the best legal representation possible. He... does not "cherry coat" and lays out the case and your options for you. He is honest, hard-working, and diligent and over the past 22 years he has become a loyal friend to me. His staff are professional, friendly, and ALWAYS willing to answer your questions and work with you when you need to get things done. In my situation he took a case that all said was unbeatable however he had faith in me and against all odds took my case all the way to trail against a huge national corporation. Through his cunning and calculated cross emanation of the defense's own whiteness's along with his trial skill's he was able to demonstrate to a jury how I had been done wrong the big corporate defense did not know what hit them like in the story of David and Goliath he beat them like a drum one beat at a time. If you are facing a any type of employment, civil rights or personal injury legal matter that has interrupted your life and are looking for someone who is capable of obtaining the justice and compensation you deserve, Mr. Burkhalter is without a doubt the man for the job. He provides a degree of service that is unmatched in his field. In particular, his staff will go above and beyond to see that no stone is unturned in the litigation of your case. He will will work tirelessly and with integrity that is above reproach regardless of how big or small his advocate my be. I cannot emphasize enough the importance that you contact and engage his counsel if you are in need of the best possible representation you can find. Mr. Burkhalter is, indeed, that attorney.

When the bottom dropped out of my work world and I found that I needed an attorney to represent me, I consulted a number of friends who were attorneys. I asked, “If it was your father, your sister, or one of your kids, who would you have represent them?” Unanimously they all replied David Burkhalter.... My next question was why David? To a person they cited his ethics, his reputation, his comprehensive knowledge, his trial experience and the fact that he fights like hell for his clients. What I found over the next (almost) three years of working with David was that and a lot more. Not only does he know the law…he loves the law. He wears it like a perfect fitting jacket. David is constantly thinking, and thinking ahead. He genuinely cares about his clients; when you sign on with David you become part of a team within his office. Everyone is dedicated to seeing the best outcome of your case. They all really care. And they keep you informed. In the trenches when it gets messy, David is tough. Never once did I feel alone or overwhelmed because I knew he had my back and was fighting for me. I knew he had a plan and a strategy which would win the day. And he was able to do that for me, too. In the workplace, if you have been wrongfully terminated (or think you might be), harassed due to sex or age, or any one of the hundreds of ways an employer can get rid of you, you need to talk to David about your situation sooner rather than later.

Mr. David Burkhalter and Mr. Alex Burkhalter (Burkhalter and Rayson law firm) managed my complaint against my former employer with exceptional skill and brought it to resolution through mediation in a more than reasonable timeframe. They kept me informed throughout, explained processes and terms wit...h which I was unfamiliar, and they involved and advised me in every important decision. The times when I needed immediate advise due to pressured timelines for response from my employer, I was completely delighted and relieved by their immediate assistance. I was treated with utmost respect, and it was crystal clear during the mediation meeting that my attorneys were highly respected by the mediation lawyer, as well as the lawyers who represented my former employer. David Burkhalter was recommended to me by one of the most respected and successful law firm senior partners in the greater Knoxville area because "he has an excellent reputation of being knowledgeable and successful with his clients in all areas of employment law, as well as in cases that involve billing compliance issues." I am extremely pleased with the outcome of my case and I highly recommend David Burkhalter and Alex Burkhalter without hesitation.
