Liza E. Burke

Regarding being the respondent in a DVPO case. Liza is the best counsel I have ever retained! She jumped is as replacement counsel to a case that was a total run away train and being deliberately delayed with lame continuances from the other side (6 to be exact). Her organization, experience and EXCE...LLENT communication was pivotal to getting things back on track. Her strong presentation and argument skills are bar none the best I have ever had. She took my case on a short notice with an extremely compressed timeline and was up to speed by the upcoming hearing date. (Then of course when opposing counsel saw she was onboard began to seriously sling BS to stall). Well to say the least we won big, the last hearing the opposing counsel showed up drunk to the hearing knowing they were about to get smoked. (That was something). In summary YOU ARE IN GOOD HANDS WITH LIZA, SHE GETS RESULTS!

I recently had the privilege of working with Attorney Liza Burke on a series of complex legal issues, and I am so grateful to share my overwhelmingly positive experience. Liza's unwavering dedication, legal acumen, and responsiveness have been instrumental in navigating the complexities of the courts... and regulations, ultimately resulting in a successful outcome for my case. From the outset, Liza demonstrated an impressive ability to grasp the details in order to summarize circumstances in the correct light. Her sharp legal mind and keen understanding of the relevant laws and regulations were evident as she guided me through each step of the process. Liza's proficiency in navigating this overwhelming experience of the legal system has been nothing short of remarkable. One of the standout qualities of working with Liza is her prompt responsiveness. In the world of legal matters, time is often of the essence, and Liza consistently demonstrated a remarkable ability to address my concerns and inquiries with a sense of urgency. Her quick response time not only eased the stress but also showcased her commitment to providing a high level of client service. Liza's approach is characterized by a rare blend of savvy professionalism and a direct, to-the-point communication style. Her ability to distill complex legal jargon into understandable terms allowed me to make informed decisions throughout the process. It was evident that Liza was not only well-versed in the law but also possessed the skill to communicate effectively, ensuring that I remained informed and comfortable. Perhaps one of the most valuable aspects of working with Liza is her talent for maintaining a positive yet realistic attitude. Navigating legal challenges can be emotionally taxing, but Liza consistently offered reassurance and guidance, helping me maintain a balanced perspective. Her ability to instill confidence and optimism, while also providing a realistic assessment of the situation, made the legal process more manageable and less daunting. I can’t recommend Liza more as she has proven herself to be an invaluable ally in one of the more frustrating and upsetting personal experiences of my life. Her exceptional legal skills, responsiveness, and ability to maintain a positive yet realistic outlook set her apart as a top-tier attorney. I wholeheartedly recommend Liza to anyone seeking legal representation, and I am immensely grateful for the positive outcome she secured for my case.

Liza, an exceptional attorney, is known for her meticulous attention to detail, unwavering communication, and exceptional commitment. Having worked with numerous attorneys, I have yet to encounter someone as devoted as Liza. She consistently remains updated on the case and provides invaluable guidanc...e whenever needed. Liza's dedication led to the best possible outcome given the circumstances. Her ethical standards are exemplary, as she ensures thorough verification before presenting anything in court. She is profoundly cautious about safeguarding your reputation and credibility. I am immensely grateful for the outstanding outcome she achieved for me. If you are facing accusations of domestic violence, I believe there is no better attorney than Liza.

Liza was attentive from day one, she was in control of deadlines and mandates, and was also diligent about preparing me for the next step throughout the process. Liza was very easy to work and communicate with, she was predictable, reliable, and a calm voice of reason in my time of uncertainty. ... I had a total of 3 court appearances. At no point did I say more than my name due to circumstance. Outside of the hours spent both waiting, and appearing in court, I could tell Liza had been both vested in and diligent with her preparation. Her ability to express my emotions surrounding the event(s) was one of the things I was very happy with. Regardless of how my verdict would go, I was listening on the final day truly appreciative of Liza's presentation on my behalf. I felt she was respected by the Judges/commissioners, by myself, and by everyone involved. Fortunately, Liza was able to win my case, I'm now able to sip champagne in celebration rather than defeat. (not that anyone wins in court) Liza, thank you for everything, I truly appreciate you. Don't be surprised if you see a Christmas card in the mail. Thanks, Rob

Liza helped my boyfriend and I through a very unfortunate event which resulted in my arrest for domestic violence. With a lack of understanding for the domestic violence laws that apply when the police are called in Washington State -- we found ourselves in a situation where my boyfriend was worried ...about my mental wellbeing after I learned of a serious breach in trust. When the police came, they asked about a broken a picture frame and several other small items. Ultimately they arrested me for domestic violence (mandatory in WA state) and property destruction. My boyfriend pleaded telling them that is not what he was seeking in this. But alas, on top of one of the most emotionally hurtful personal betrayals of trust, I was now going to spend the night in jail. I was in beyond disbelief and did not handle the situation well. Later when i went before the judge, I learned they had tacked on 4 other charges -- one of which being assault of an officer (for stepping on his foot by accident-- I am 5ft weighing 105 lbs) It was a nightmare. This was my first arrest ever. My boyfriend went before the judge telling him this was a huge misunderstanding and that I was not violent and that he was simply worried about me driving and my well being. Despite that, I was released and given a 3 year no contact order with my boyfriend pending my court date. My boyfriend hired Liza to represent me. Upon our first meeting Liza was very upfront about the fact it would be extremely challenging to have 5 charges dropped -- despite the absurdity of them all. She urged me to immediately sign up for alcohol classes 3x per week and start seeing a personal therapist in the month leading up to my first court appearance. I did those things. We asked for a continuance at the first appearance, the prosecutor came back with an offer to drop all of the charges except assault of an officer with an SOC agreement, we didn't take that offer (in body cam footage there was no proof of this), Liza asked for one more continuance, then ultimately she worked a deal with the prosecutor to drop ALL of the charges at the completion of my 4 months of alcohol classes (2x per week). The no contact order was lifted. After almost 5 months of emotional ups and down-- it was over. I was not going to have to enter an agreement with the state, meet with anyone, take more classes etc. And while hiring a great lawyer isn't necessarily cheap -- neither is the alternative of taking mandatory classes or therapy that cost $100 a session, multiple times a week, over the course of years. Liza was such an amazing advocate for me during this time. She was open to any questions any time, willing to explain things to me as many times as I needed. She was understanding, yet straight forward -- something I really appreciated. I would recommend Liza to anyone who finds themselves in a similar situation.
