Authentic Advice from a Lawyer with a lot of Integrity

Burton's office ended up not taking my case, primarily because as it turns out, I don't need a lawyer to proceed with my case. However, they spent over an hour with me at their office going over the specifics and were incredibly generous to provide me with all of the advice they could at no charge. I... have now spoken to several lawyers on this site regarding my wage claim (I have been unpaid by a previous employer for wages and commissions) and Jocelyn Burton was by far the most honest and engaged lawyer I spoke with. From just the little experience I had with her office, I would highly recommend her and would absolutely go back if something changed with my case or any future claims. Currently it seems I'm most successful proceeding with the Labor Commissioner and not in need of a lawyer for this particular case. I was touched by their honesty and am so appreciative of all of their advice.
