This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Extremely intelligent, articulate, thoughtful, and a good listener

I told this to Hank and I'll tell this to you. Hank is a great lawyer. He's extremely intelligent, articulate, thoughtful, and a good listener. In addition, you can tell that he walks through all the angles of a lawsuit meticulously in his head. It’s good that he’s an extremely level-headed person. ... Hank represented me in a suit that lasted roughly a year. Going through a legal battle, you're going to exchange tons of messages with your lawyer. Hank was not only communicative and responded to my messages quickly, but was always receptive to what I had to say. In addition, he has a way of simplifying technical lawyer speak, and often has great analogies that provide you more meaning and context to complex situations. Going through a lawsuit can also be very stressful, but Hank is very relatable and does a good job of making you feel prepared and at relative ease. He's a quality lawyer, and comes highly recommended.

Highly Recommended

Hank made sure he really understood my case and the unique aspects of our industry. He worked hard to help keep all of the costs within budget. I felt like he was really working on my side and for my interests. His expertise and professionalism helped make the situation manageable. His communication ...was very timely and responsive.

Hank Burgoyne turned one of the most stressful experiences of my life into a positive outcome. Hank was very thoughtful in how he clarified my goals, and brought an extremely high quality array of expertise to bear to achieve them. He was efficient, systematic and willing to fit around my timelines.... He was also sensitive to my budget thresholds. I really appreciated how Hank turned what felt like a mountain into a manageable series of molehills. He was very personable and cut through the usual “lawyer talk” to get to the real issues. I felt like my view was respected and that I could trust his recommendations. I can’t recommend him highly enough

Not only talented but exceptionally kind and compassionate

Hank is not only exceptionally talented (as evidenced by his Stanford JD law degree), but is one of the kindest and most compassionate people I have ever met. I was introduced to Hank through a friend regarding an issue that most lawyers wouldn't bat an eye at given the amount at stake, but was incre...dibly distressing for me personally. Hank was so generous with his time and each and every time he gave me invaluable advice that I could have never found on my own and no other lawyer would have taken the time to find and share with me. I would absolutely recommend Hank.
