A Remarkable Attorney

Rosie is a truly amazing attorney -diligent, competent and creative in problem-solving. She is knowledgeable and enthusiastic about legal matters. In the year of 2020, I retained Rosie as my attorney to manage, rescue and resolve my super stressful, “never-ending”, “what-a-mess” type of divorce case ...(at that time, the divorce case felt utterly destroyed by my previous, extremely neglectful attorney from another law firm). Nevertheless, Rosie worked very hard to understand the complexity of my case, which among others encompassed such matters as domestic violence, child custody and parenting time, child support, and spousal maintenance, etc. Moreover, she identified and overcame case challenges and skillfully built a solid case strategy, which ultimately led to not only closure but foremost a greatly positive case outcome. I feel deeply grateful for Rosie’s remarkable legal work and dedication to my case. And therefore, I highly recommend Rosie to anyone in need for help in navigating the complex matters of family law. Finally, I would like to highlight that Rosie stands out as a quick thinker, a great legal strategist and a great, wise and fearless communicator. She put a lot of effort in guiding me as her client, explaining the nuances of laws, setting the case direction and planning for a variety of possible scenarios -all while tirelessly protecting the best interest of my children and myself. Rosie is energetic, focused and proactive; she has the ability to turn a massive challenge into legal victory.

Professional, Knowledgeable and Hard-Working

I hired Rosie to represent me during an emergency motion to restrict parenting time and a post decree modification of parenting time and decision making. While every motion we filed was contested making my case very stressful, costly and drawn out, she remained diligent and focused providing solid l...egal arguments. Rosie is very detailed and thorough in her documents and does an amazing job of explaining all the legal reasoning behind them. Rosie does a superb job of preparing you for every step, making a very stressful and difficult situation a little less. I highly recommend Rosie – she’s professional, knowledgeable and hard-working!

Phenomenal Attorney!!

I engaged the services of Burnham Law to help me through my divorce. The team of Rosemary and Sara did a fantastic job keeping me prepared throughout the entire process. They kept me informed, made sure I knew what was expected, and handled everything with complete professionalism. Everyone at Bur...nham Law went above and beyond to assist me and I can't thank them enough for everything they did to help me through this process. Thank you Rosemary and Sara

Rosie is great to work with!

Rosie was very thorough and helped me navigate the divorce process. She's organized, and she made sure I considered every angle before making decisions. As nice as she is, she was able to be a bulldog when it was required.

Outstanding Attorney that truly cares!

I hired Rosemary while deployed to Iraq in 2010. She not only took care of my case, but went above and beyond to learn and advise me of things the military could do to help me. While my divorce took over two years and was contested at every step by the opposing party, Rosie stayed steadfast in her co...nvictions to support and serve my family and I during the most difficult of times. While sadly it became a very expensive venture, I do not regret one cent spent on her services. I ultimately became a full time single dad while still serving on active duty. I attribute this monumental feat to Rosie and her tireless efforts. Her ethics are above reproach and she kept me on the high road despite times when I wanted to give in or do otherwise. I will always be indebted to her and can never say enough great things about her. If you are looking for an attorney to take care of you, don’t hesitate to hire Rosemary Rizk!
