** EXTRAORDINARY REPRESENTATION ! **

David Burnett is a very hardworking, and exceptionally gifted attorney, whose work ethics are of the highest standard. I would very highly recommend his services to anyone in need of a highly educated, extremely skilled, personal injury lawyer! He did an outstanding job representing my minor-daug...hter in a very challenging, personal injury case against a neighboring municipality, and numerous additional defendants. His extensive knowledge of the law, governing this type of case, and his remarkable ability to influence action, were key factors in accomplishing my daughter's very successful outcome! We were quite impressed by the confidence he demonstrated throughout every aspect of our legal process. He was diligent about keeping us well informed, and thorough in his communications with us, offering excellent advice, when needed. My daughter, and I, are so thankful for his dedication to her case, and all the effort he put forth, in making this painful experience more comfortable for us. It was a relief to be in such good hands. We couldn't be happier with the service that Mr. Burnett provided to us. We will be forever grateful for all of his efforts, hard work, and expertise, in reaching an exceptional settlement for my daughter!

Dave is the best!

I am very happy I was able to work with Dave Burnett. I was in a car accident that resulted in my car being totaled. I was and am suffering from a bulging disk in my neck and as a result of the impact from my car accident, I suffered from a concussion. The lady who ran into me was insured by a ve...ry well known insurance company, and they refused to pay for my medical bills. After trying to work out an agreement that was fair, I realized, why am I paying for medical bills that were the result of someone else running into me and destroying my car? After working with Dave, I received a fair settlement that I am very happy with. I received over 40 TIMES what the insurance company was willing to give me without Dave's help. Dave made me feel like he truly cared about my well-being and that I was an important client to him. He is very down to Earth and was very informative through-out the entire process. In addition, Dave is a well-seasoned veteran, and has worked for the "dark side" or defense so he knows what you are up against and what to expect from the insurance companies. Enough said, if you've been injured, call Dave! You will be happy you did.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
