Lifesaver

Without going to deep into my family’s legal issues the law office of Dennis Shawn Burkley have been a lifesaver . From the first moment he called to inform me my father was incarcerated for assault he was there to help me arrange bail he then fought that case with a very favorable outcome. Unfortuna...tely my father passed away later that year but the law office of Dennis Shawn Burkley was there to assist with UD tenant living in my deceased father’s home . Once again a very favorable outcome was reached with the tenant evicted and a monetary judgment in my favor. His office was even able to help with the title search and transfer of my fathers home . Oh and bye the way I am 3000 miles away in New York

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.
