Beware!!!!

Don't ever hire him unless you want things postponed and drug out so he can bill you an unbelievable amount of money just so you will fire him later. Talks a good talk but only for more money and he's a pro at billing a premium.

No Other Attorney Compares

About three years ago, I contacted Brian to find out if he could assist me through a separation. A close friend had referred me, and I am SO thankful for her recommendation. Brian assisted FAR beyond "filing papers". He stood by me every step of the way and fought diligently for the best interest... of myself and my daughter. To this very day (literally), he continues to navigate my battles with incredible compassion, expertise, and patience. I wouldn't want to be represented by anyone other than Brian.

Professional and caring attorney

Brian has been extremely helpful and knowledgeable in representing me during my divorce and ongoing child support issues. I would highly recommend him.

Professional and pleasant attorney!

Mr. Burke handled a legal matter for me for a period of 2 years. He was active and progressive when I wanted him to be, and non-active when I requested that too. Very knowledgable and professional. It was great to have him represent me in court and see my matter to a positive ending. Highly recommend..., and I will use Brian again should I need legal representation in the future.

Excellent Counselor

Brian was very attentive to all of the issues and communicated relevant information very quickly. I was falsely accused and sent to prison and Brian acted nearly more like a family member than an attorney. He spoke w my family and kept them informed. Brian is extremely well connected and ultimatel...y my charges were dropped partially due to his diligence in following through w the prosecutor. I would say that Brian earned all of what I paid him and you cant ask for more than that! He also helped me get full custody of my son.

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.
