BEST FAMILY LAWYER IN LAS VEGAS!!

I contacted Michael and his team to try and get my divorce as seamless as possible. I let mike know everything going on from the problems my ex was creating, and even had so many questions for him due to myself not knowing the process all too well as this was my first time dealing with a lawyer. Mike... and his team took all the time in the world to answer any question that I might've had, and even came up with solutions that I could not think of. Burton & Vazquez made this process the EASIEST thing, and not only that they took the HEAVIEST weight off of my shoulders. I had also ran into a financial issue during our time working together, and Mike ensured me we can get it done and was willing to work with me. Thats how you know you have good people on your side willing to make sure you're stressed is covered as they worked with me. I couldn't have asked for a better team. If you are looking for straight forward, aggressive, and willing to do whats right in Family Law attorneys. PLEASE do not walk, but RUN over to Burton & Vazquez! Thank you all again for helping me go through the smoothest process all the while dealing with one of the hardest things to go through in life.

Highly Recommend

Michael represented me in a divorce and custody case. He was very attentive to my case and objectives. He was aggressive, but also honest with me when he needed to be. I had never been through this process before and he helped me feel supported and like someone had my back. I would recommend him to a...nyone.

I would highly recommend Michael Burton as a lawyer, his knowledge of the law is outstanding and he really cares about justice.

Hi, I would like to reach out to anyone looking for a great lawyer and tell them about Michael Burton and his team at the McFarling Law group. Michael and the McFarling Group have been my lawyers for the past two years. Before they took on my case, I had been fighting for custody of my child for many... years, at first on my own, and later with another lawyer, with little success. When I first contacted Michael and his team, I had recently lost and felt I had no where left to turn. I believed in my heart that the decision that was handed down by the court was wrong and that court had not taken in to account the seriousness of the situation that my child was living in. Michael and the McFarling Group took the time to review my case and agreed to take me on as a client. They first took on my case as an appeals case, taking my case to the Supreme Court of Nevada. I am so happy to tell you that it was through their knowledge of the law and of my case, that they were successful and we won the appeal. Michael Burton and the McFarling team quoted case law to the Supreme Court that they felt should have been the case law used at my hearing , but was not. The Supreme Court agreed that not using the case law Michael quoted, was the reason that the judge at my last hearing had not considered some of the evidence that might have changed the result of the hearing. The Supreme Court agreed that the Family Court should take another look at my case and this time considered evidence that had not been considered at my past hearing. This allowed Michael Burton and The McFarling Group to be able to take the matter back to the Family court and have a chance at a new hearing being grant, which is exactly what happened. I was granted a new hearing, and this time the judge agreed to consider evidence not previously considered, as well as some limited new evidence. As a mother I can not even tell you how relieved and happy I was with the job Michael Burton and the McFarling Group had done for me just up to this point. Over the next several months Michael worked diligently on my case, preparing motions for the court and talking with me about my case and it's history. By the time the hearing arrived, I realized that Michael knew my case inside and out and was very well prepared. For the first time in a very long time, I really let myself hope and believe that things were finally going to work out and that I had a real chance at the court finally seeing the truth. At the hearing Michael did not let me down, the professional manner in which he conducted himself, his knowledge of the law and of the history of my case shone through in court. Michael proved to the court, through the evidence he presented on my behalf, and testimony he gained from witnesses, that my ex had been lying to the court for many years. The result of that hearing was that we won, and the judge overturned the previous decision, now granting me primary custody of my child. I am so very grateful to Michael Burton and the McFarling Group for agreeing to take on my case and represent me in this matter. I can not thank them enough for the incredible job they did handling my case, or for the kindness and caring they showed me throughout the process. I now get to watch my child smile everyday and know he will have a great life. I feel that when you hire Michael Burton and The McFarling Group, you are not only hiring outstanding lawyers, but you are also hiring lawyers who really care about you, and about seeing that truth and justice prevail in the end. I would highly recommend Michael Burton to anyone looking for a lawyer, and in my experience, he is not only a great lawyer but someone who cares.

Thank you very much Michele for your kind words. Your case is one I will always remember as a significant victory of winning an appeal, getting a new trial, and prevailing in the end. Sadly, many cases do not come out so good.

"Mr. Burton is a fantastic advocate with a seemingly innate ability to view and present a case, no matter the complexity, with clarity and prudence beyond his years. Mr. Burton and I worked on an important matter involving many interested parties, and he was beyond impressive. He is smart, hard working, and well liked by other members of the bar. He has experience in a wide variety of legal issues relative to family law and domestic relations, and has been a great acquaintance. His integrity is beyond that of what may be expected of "lawyers," and from all I have seen, advises his clients very well, resolving their cases in the best possible ways under their particular circumstances. I wholeheartedly endorse Michael Burton as a fantastic member of the Nevada Bar in the area of family law and other domestic relations matters."
