A truly amazing Attorney

Debra is representing me in my divorce proceedings. My ex wife and her attorney are trying to make every step difficult for me. Constantly intimidating me, falsely making statements, not to mention being unresponsive to emails requesting documents. Debra is a fighter, and she will fight for your inte...rests as if it were her own. During my divorce I was amazed how caring, honest, and compassionate she is with her clients. Everything is working out for me which I thought was near impossible. I truly appreciate the fact that she doesn’t waste any time, is extremely thorough, and most importantly she didn’t let the opposing counsel get away with wasting our time when they disappeared during the remote hearings. In fact today she gave me great news that she asked the Judge to grant a sanction for Attorney fees. I made the best decision to chose her after consulting with several different Attorneys. If you want someone who GETS THINGS DONE…Debra is the only one. I can’t thank her enough for getting me through this turmoil with my ex wife.

Terrible Experience

I hired Debra J. Burdette to end my divorce. She was my lawyer for 40 days. She is a terrible Attorney. Do not waste your money or time dealing with Debra J. Burdette. Here is what I experienced: - Lots of promises from Debra before retaining her services. - Promptly after retaining, Debra did ...not return emails or calls… or call when she said she was going to call. - Debra has no office support - Debra doesn’t “work” Thursdays or Fridays, or weekends. - Debra has no time for anything, leaving everything to the last minute, then mistakes made and no follow-up. - Debra has a terrible temper and will yell at you. - Debra is very biased and will only fight for what she feels is correct. - Debra ended up acting like she was working for the opposing council. - Debra did not uphold her promises and ultimately was fired.

Genuinely cares about the outcome

Debra is a person that you definitely want on your side. It is always comforting to know that you have a person who genuinely cares about the outcome of your situation, who is there if you need questions answered, and who can reassure you during those anxiety provoking moments. Dealing with a legal... matter can be a scary venture for those of us unfamiliar with how it all works, and Debra guided me through rough waters with the utmost of professionalism and compassion.

Great person to work with

Going through a divorce is hard and frustrating enough. Based on the Avvo review I gave Debra a call and set up a meeting with her. On first meeting she was considerate to my situation and laid everything on the table. Told me exactly what i needed to do, when and the process. Made things clear and... simple for me. She is a great person to work with and i would highly recommend her for any family law issue you may have!

More than I expected

Finding myself in the unfortunate predicament of having to go to traffic court led me to the decision of seeking out legal advice in the matter. After getting in touch with Debra was nice enough to call back and offer her astute knowledge concerning my situation. She spent over 20 minutes talking... to me explaining the ins and outs of the traffic court system, what I should expect, and how to handle my ordeal. She even took the time to follow up weeks later with any other questions that I posed to her. The advice I got, at no cost to me, gave me a better enlightenment on my situation. The kind of attention I got was more than I expected.
