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.

Very glad I decided to let her help.....

Going through a divorce, I had no idea where to start. I heard "get a mediator!" "don't deal with lawyers" "do it yourself" and may others. I'm so glad I found Debra to help me through the process. She explained very clearly what to expect. I found her to be incredibly easy to work with, honest, and ...flexible. She didn't push her services on me...she explained my options and let me decide. Very glad I decided to let her help.

Feel very comfortable to open up

I was going through a very difficult time in my life recently and Debra made it as stress-free as she could. She was calm, explained all of my options, and did not pressure me in anyway. She gave me the facts and let me decide what was best for me. Having met her and having worked with her, I can... say my divorce was as pain-free as one can expect.

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!

Trustworthy & Knowledgeable Divorce Attorney!

I switched to Debra from a previous divorce attorney who was not moving my case forward. Debra moved the case forward immediately once she took over. Her straightforward and honest communication allowed me to feel comfortable with her negotiating on my behalf. It was obvious to me that Debra cares ab...out her Clients and the outcome of their cases. She truly wants families to experience peace and love during what can often be a turbulent divorce experience. I would recommend Debra without a doubt to anyone looking for an honest, trustworthy and knowledgeable divorce attorney!
