This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Excellent Lawyer and Litigator

John represented me in a very complicated non-competition and confidentiality lawsuit filed by my previous employer, 3 years after I left the company. He brilliantly won an appeals court decision on my part and successfully handled my court case. He was both easy to work with and a tireless worker o...n my case. John is a tenacious litigator in court and is unfazed by the opposing attorneys. He will represent your interests very well.

MINE ACCIDENT OVER (40) YEARS

Part 1. I Rober, was in a mine accident so far the case is not over but I can say that Attorney John Burke has been all the above and the rest of the attorneys' I had in the past did me and my family wrong.

Handled a family trust dispute

Mr. John F. Burke III, represented me in a family trust dispute. He asked for a retainer of 2,500.00 and advised me that he would in turn read through the documents and advise me of my choices re- the disputes re- my family trust. I met with him and paid him his requested retainer. He took the doc...uments and never spoke to me again. I called him and he did not pick up. I would email and he would not respond. I eventually had to contact another attorney for help to resolve my matter.

OUTSTANDING RESULTS! EFFECTIVE CONTENDER! TRUSTED /EXCEPTIONAL SERVICE!! BEST LAWYER I EVER DONE BUSINESS WITH!

I Hired Mr. Burke to litigate an EXTREMELY challenging case with a very powerful, well none company who had caused me an enormous amount of injustice. I didn't know how this would work out because I was intimated being that this company had a lot of money, and then there was "little ole me" fighting ...them. I met with Mr. Burke, and from this meeting I knew I was in the hands of an attorney who had my best interest. He constantly kept me updated and informed on everything that was happening and made sure I understood what was being done every step of the way. He was always available and returned EVERY call in a timely manner. I felt good and confident throughout the entire process with Mr. Burke. He wouldn't back down and always wanted acknowledge my input, which made me feel he cared about my opinions and feelings regarding the process. His fees were more than fair and he made sure I knew upfront what all the charges would be, unlike other attorneys I've dealt with that come up with bogus fees to over charge you. I've called on Mr. Burke for other cases and I will continue to refer him because he's a truly a trusted attorney, especially in these times when many only care about making all the money they can get and disregard you like your too stupid to understand what's going on. Kudos to Mr. Burke!! Try him, you will NOT be disappointed!

Awesome, Super Lawyer

Attorney Burke is the proverbial knight in shining armor. We were in a bad position from previous counsel and we searched in vain for over one year to find an other attorney competent and confident to fight for a fair settlement in our ( Motor Vehicle Accident) case. We were not at fault in our case ...yet the insurance company refused to settle for my wife's injuries (broken neck). After dismissing our initial counsel, we had met with over 5 different attorney's from Columbus, Toledo, and Cleveland Ohio areas and found John F. Burke III to be extremely knowledgeable, exceptionally professional, and successful where others failed. He is a blessing as a super-lawyer... and now also as a good friend.
