Litigation lawyer | Oct 20

Relationship: Co-worker

"Michael Burg is one of the most well known and well respected trial lawyers in the nation. He built our law firm from the ground up, starting as a solo practitioner with little more than a passion for helping people. Recently he was recognized as one the most influential attorneys of the decade--just one of a great many awards he has been given in his career. Mike's achievements set an example to which lawyers everywhere aspire. Most importantly, Mike cares about his clients and has a long-standing, proven track record for getting great results for them."

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.
