Debra J Burdette

Debra did an incredible job of helping me navigate the divorce process quickly, efficiently, and with the results that I wanted. I was impressed from start to finish on how my case was handled. At every step of the way, I felt that Debra and rest of the staff were knowledgeable, responsive, and suppo...rtive in one of the hardest periods of my life. I was recommended to Debra by my sister (also an attorney) who knew her work first hand from environmental law cases they'd collaborated on and from law school. I had been trying to manage the divorce process myself and was frustrated and overwhelmed. My sister spoke so highly of Debra as both an attorney and a person. I am so grateful I took her advice and went in for a consultation. Divorce is a highly unpleasant, stressful experience. But, if you find yourself in this position, you want someone like Debra right behind you. I felt like I had the perfect advocate for my situation.

I discovered Debra on Avvo and based on the great reviews decided to contact her. I'm so glad that I did. My first impression of Debra was that she was too nice to be an attorney but during our initial meeting the claws came out and I thought that I would NOT want to sitting across from this woman in... court. I immediately hired for a civil matter and subsequently hired her for a family matter. Whenever I communicate with her, I never feel as if I'm being billed in 15 minute increments. She cares about her clients and their welfare. She gives a lot of herself to her clients and it's obvious that she really cares. I can't say enough about her and will continue to hire Debra for any matter that may come up.

Debra is amazing. She is both incredibly knowledgable and effective as an attorney but also very warm and compassionate. This trait can be really important when one is going through a difficult divorce. She goes above and beyond in a major way, as evidenced by a recent unrelated scare during which sh...e made herself available to me, consulted with other attorneys in that field of law, and helped me to remain calm. I would recommend her without hesitation to anyone dealing with the difficult and complicated field of family law.

After it was badly mishandled by my previous family law attorney, Debra took over my case, undid the mess, and made everything right. She conducted business in a very fair, professional, and compassionate way. She presented the options available at every turn in as much detail as requested and gave... informed council when her advice was sought. Highly recommended.

We will be forever grateful to have found an attorney who possesses such a deep degree of integrity, professionalism, talent, knowledge, ~ and this is huge, kindness. Our treacherous trek though a family law issue had us on edge. Debra kept us focused on just the facts, and presented a palatable ...plan. She kept us calm and confidant as she navigated us through the legal maze. The outcome was that all parties are satisfied. What we will never forget is the feeling/knowing that she genuinely cared about our family.
