Knowledgeable

Stephanie Burton is very knowledgeable of the law. If there is something that she doesn't know off hand, she knows how to pull her resources together to find out. She's direct and very detailed about the law. What I like best about her is that she thinks outside of the box. That is to say that sh...e thinks about things that the average person won't think of concerning your situation. She covers every angle that pertains to your specific case. She is a woman of her word. If she tell you that she's going to be there she is there. She's very fair and very honest. She takes nothing and no one for granted. She respecst the law and what it stands for.

Best Lawyer in town

I was kinda nervous because she was just out of law school but I didn't have much of a choice because after getting other lawyers I couldn't afford to keep paying them to do nothing. She gave me a good price and did more than I even asked her to do. She kept finding stuff I didn't even know I had a...nd cleaning up the old messes I paid a lawyer to clean up before and they didn't. She's sharp and thorough. She explained everything and looked at the big picture rather than just the stuff I thought was the problem. What I liked best is that she didn't keep upping the price even though I know it was more work for her. She just said, it needed to be done and to send her a referral and not to worry about it. I hope she gets more people because she's super smart and if people look at her youth they will miss out on a great attorney.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
