Douglas Lee Burdette

In my experience, Mr. Burdette is an exceptionally knowledgeable lawyer when it comes to SIRVA cases. Both he and his assistant Kelly patiently and expertly guided me through the lengthy (2½ years) SIRVA process while keeping me informed. When my claim was initially declined, he was willing to appeal... my case and finally get a ruling in my favor. I am extremely pleased with the service that I received from his law firm. I would whole-heartedly recommend his services.

I had worked for an event company that decided it didn't have to pay overtime for a 60+ hour work week. Mr. Burdette took the time to explain what needed to be done. At every step he kept me informed and made me feel quite comfortable with what seemed at the beginning a scary process. Best of al...l we won and got paid!

Lee is great to work with. I was a little nervous about hiring an attorney, but felt very comfortable after meeting him. He answered all of my questions, was very responsive to my emails, and patiently helped me understand my rights. He listened to my position, explained the possible courses of ac...tion, and most importantly, his actions represented my desired outcome. He was honest and forthcoming about every step in the process. I never felt pushed into making a decision or following an unwanted course of action. Mine was not a huge case, but Lee took it upon merit. Thanks to him, the matter was resolved in about 6 weeks and I received 100% of my back overtime. Although I had signed a contingency fee agreement, I paid nothing. My employer was responsible for all of the legal fees and costs. All of the bills I received were clear and easy to understand. There were never any hidden fees. Lee did an excellent job representing me. I would absolutely hire him again or refer other to him.

From the first meeting I felt very comfortable talking with Lee; he helped me along the way by explaining everything in layman’s terms. Lee took my case confidently when no one else would; I had contacted other law firms and was either told they don’t want this type of case or were just too busy. My ...case was very difficult to prove in the state of Washington involving labor laws but Lee was able to prove my case and provide overwhelming evidence so that the case was confidentially settled before ever reaching the courtroom floor.
