Debra J Burdette

***please do not hire this lawyer!!! All she cares about is $$. I hired this lawyer for a custody issue. She didn’t take time to listen to my concerns and was such a pushover! She was disorganized and all over the place. She led me to believe one thing and Bullied me into agreeing to BS from opposing... party! All that because she didn’t want to put in some work. I feel so misrepresented and wasted my money and time with her. She might be good in some other area of law, but family law is clearly NOT her strong suit! I will not recommend her to anyone.

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.

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.

I've worked with many attorneys over the years and when it came to negotiating a new support agreement, I was impressed with how Debra made an enormous difference for me, my ex-wife and subsequently my adult children. For many family lawyers it seems it's all about collecting more and more billabl...e hours regardless of the outcome. Debra, instantly took charge of the negotiation met with me and my ex separately and helped craft an agreement that worked. I trust Debra and highly recommend her to you!

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.
