Amazing Lawyer

I have had several legal issues in the past and Mr. Burse handled everything I needed with ease. His rates are extremely resonable and he makes sure to put care into every case that he takes on. I recommend Mr. Burse to anybody seeking legal council!

Would not recommend

Working with this lawyer was the worst decision I could have made as a father. He was not attentive, he misrepresented my request and ultimately I had to end our contract. Phillip did not appear for the first court date and was late for multiple court dates after. He juggles multiple roles and my cas...e seemed to fall by the waste site once he received my payment. He continued to prolong my case for a year without filing the proper paperwork. This is verified by the court documents. He never did his job as a lawyer and then blamed me as the client, because I wanted exactly what I hired him to do. I would not recommend his services to anyone at all. I plan to take whatever action I can to salvage my court situation.

He is AMAZING!

We hired Philip Burse for a family member that's currently doing time, regarding a hearing for another case... He handled this case efficiently & expeditiously. This man is very professional, knowledgeable, genuine and courteous. He returned my calls and texts immediately, showing compassion for... his client & our family. I am forever grateful to him.

Devoted

I hired Mr. Burse for a second offense DUI. Through his diligence and thorough review of my case, Mr. Burse was able to obtain a plea deal for a 1st offense violation. Mr. Burse went above and beyond in his attempt to provide me with the best legal counsel. I recommend Mr. Burse to any one in need of... legal counsel.

Best attorney

I have never had a more devoted attorney than this man here. I truly felt that he genuinely cared about my well being throughout my case. I would recommend him to anyone in the Louisiana area.

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.
