These folks are down-to-earth and will fight for you

Kristin Weaver and Sarah Pisk were lifesavers for my family and I in the custody battle with my ex. They really took the time to understand my unique situation, and advocated for my children and I throughout my entire time working with them. I really appreciate their understanding and diligence thr...oughout a tricky and stressful case. Would highly recommend them!

Love Court dispute

I've used the expert opinions of Burnham Law's attorneys to fight for my wife and I to resolve past issues and once they have come through like rock stars for us. What more can I say, I wouldn't use any other firm other than Burnham Law to fight for my family and I.

Extremely Grateful Client

I was recently involved in a Modification to Spousal Maintenance which had turned rather nasty. To further complicate matters, I was living and working abroad and had just became unemployed. For months, I worked with an Attorney from a law firm which shall remain nameless, and had never been so stres...sed as I saw my life, both emotionally and financially, going down the tubes. In an act of desperation, I searched Avvo for another firm to handle my case and liked what I had read about Todd Burnham. I arranged for a telephonic consultation and within seconds after hearing the specifics of my case, Mr Burnham laid out what his strategy would be to win a fair outcome for me. Not only did I like what I heard, but I also liked the way that he came across and hired him right then and there…THE BEST DECISION I HAVE EVER MADE. Mr Burnham assigned Ms. Trista McElhaney, Associate Attorney, and Mr Charlie Shisler, Senior Paralegal (or as I came to refer them as “The Kick A*s A-Team”) to my case and things just got better. Within days it was evident that I was working with the best. In addition to being extremely competent, I found them all to be direct, confident, very personable and exceptionally responsive and informative, all the things my previous attorney was not. My stress levels dropped as my trust in them increased to the point where I no longer worried about how my case was being handled, they were that good. And remember, this was all done long distance, through emails and phone calls. The case did go to trial, which I attended telephonically. The outcome was better than I could ever had imagined. Is Todd and the Burnham Law firm the best? In my mind - YES!!! Would I hire them again? A resolving - YES!!! Would I recommend them? YES!!!, without stipulation. Todd, Trista, Charlie, you gave me and my family back our lives, for that I will never be able to fully thank you.

Todd is a good and decent man

I brought a family member in to meet with Todd after an incident of domestic violence caused by her alcoholic husband. I think Todd recognized within the first five minutes that she had not reached "rock bottom" and was not ready to leave her husband, but he talked through the issues (both legal and ...emotional) and scenarios with her for over an hour, knowing full well that there likely would be no fees at the end of the consultation because she wasn't ready to accept that her husband is a bad guy. Todd shared a lot of truth and wisdom in a short amount of time, and did it in a kind and compassionate way. Attorneys sometimes get a bad rap, but it was clear in meeting with Todd that he genuinely cares about his clients, has a tremendous amount of legal and life experience in his area of practice, and would be an excellent advocate if and when the time comes. I can say unequivocally that he would be my first and only choice for a divorce attorney (hopefully I'll never need his services for myself). He's saved in my contacts so if a friend ever asks, his is the name I'm giving out.

Almost speechless!

Almost speechless! Todd Burnham and his team are Amazing! I came to Todd who was highly recommended by a friend. My daughter was under a Temporary Protection Order and Todd was quick to act, fighting for her safety. Todd successfully secured restricted parenting time. The commitment and dedication... given to my case was outstanding and relentless. I had a couple of different attorneys prior to coming to Todd and I was very frustrated with their advice and lack of action regarding my situation. They continued to tell me “I did not have enough” to take to a judge while things continued to get worse for my daughter, whose safety was compromised. Todd did something I had been told was impossible and he did it quickly. If you have a child safety issue, family or divorce situation, I strongly suggest consulting with the Burnham Law Office.
