Debra J Burdette

The experience that i've encountered with Debra J. Burdette's office was the worst experience that I ever had to encounter with legal representation. Please be advised, it is very imperative to do your homework on "jurisdiction technicalities." I explained to Debra my concerns involving my children b...eing sent pornographic photos via text from another child which was their brother who has a different mother from my children, but they share the same dad. I explained the concerning circumstances in reference to my concerns surrounding kids exposure to porn due to their sibling, obviously not being watched accordingly by his parents. The child that sent the porn via text to my kids cell phone lives in a different jurisdiction/County here in California which is outside of the jurisdiction of the appointed Los Angeles County Court House where this case was established/proceeding held. It was during the discovery of the Family Law Court Hearing that the Judge could not do anything with this case at all because the child that sent the porn, residential address is outside of the Pasadena Court House which is in the County of Los Angeles jurisdiction. My children reside with me here in Southern California and their dad lives in Northern California. Unfortunately the judge dismissed the case and kids dad, also their brother were not held accountable for exposing these kids to pornographic photos. Debra Burdette shown herself to be pretty incompetent because based on her professional experience in "Family Law" she should of known that there was going to be an issue with "jurisdiction" and that the judge could not address this case because the 7 year old brother that sent the pornographic text lives outside of the Los Angeles County Jurisdiction, therefore Debra, should not have taken on this case and declined it as well, not scamming me for my hard earned money. Debra either to demonstrated knowledge in this gray area of jurisdiction or she knew about the "jurisdiction" opposing to be an issue and she just decided to take my money and not do the right thing by declining to take on a case that she failed miserably at on terms of professional presentation. She actually delayed email communications for significant periods of time, being non-responsive to the point I could only get a quick response if I sent a text via her direct cell phone number, and then she would demonstrated her unwillingness to help. I've had quite a few experiences with Attorneys which were excellent, and she was the first attorney that lacks a great deal of knowledge with Family Law cases as it relates to "jurisdiction", & she has operators that answers her office line and all they do is take messages. You can never reach her at the office. As a matter of fact, she turned out to be a complete night mare and I would never recommend her to anyone. It was very imperative for me to write this review so that you can do your research prior to seeking Debra J. Burdette for legal representation and wasting your heard earned money on a SCAMMER!!!!

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.

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.

Debra is Amazing!!!!! I'm so thankful that I found her to help me with my divorce! It was incredibly stressful and scary to go thru this process, especially with two little ones, but she has given me the support and confidence that I need. She is extremely intelligent, level-headed, supportive, and r...easonable! I was anxious in the beginning thinking that I would have to go to court, but she gave me the peace of mind that I needed to get thru it and not be anxious. I would highly recommend her to anyone going thru this difficult process. I am so thankful that I found her to represent me.

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!
