An impeccably competent and outstanding attorney!

Ms. Burke is an impeccably competent and outstanding attorney. She stayed in close contact with me during the entire proceedings and was always prompt in responding to my questions whether through email, text or phone calls. I have the utmost respect for her as an attorney and greatly appreciate her ...relentless diligence getting me through a very difficult time that ended with positive results.

Professional, compassionate, knowledgable

I contacted Liza Burke after CPS began investigating our family based on a false allegation of child abuse. I am a lawyer and my husband is an engineer; nothing in our education or experience prepared us for the shock and horror we felt while under investigation by CPS. Feeling like we had been cau...ght in the Twilight Zone, Liza immediately put us at ease with her professionalism, compassion, knowledge, and rock solid sanity. Liza explained her experience with CPS, which completely validated our own experience. Her advice regarding what to expect during the investigation, neglect determination, and appeals process proved spot on. Ultimately, our case resolved expeditiously and favorably. I can't thank Liza enough for the guidance and peace of mind she gave us during a very difficult time. I wholeheartedly recommend Liza Burke. She is a tremendous asset to our community.

Perfect result achieved thanks to Liza

When my son was one month old we took him to his primary care physician because he had been very irritable the night before. At the Dr around 2 pm we were told he looked perfect and he was likely coming into a colicky stage. At around 530 pm we noticed his leg was swollen and we took him to the ER. ...The dr there notified us our sweet baby had a broken femur. We were told by that hospital that they suspected genetic causes and discharge papers expressed that our baby appeared well taken care of and asked the Children's hospital to look for genetic causes. The Children's hospital alerted CPS and law enforcement to our situation. Our child was removed from the care of my husband and myself. Liza was very effective at guiding me through a very tumultuous and upsetting nightmare. Having our son taken was beyond my imagination. Liza was able to locate multiple physicians around the country to dispute the Children's hospital findings. I believe she was able to do this because of her experience, dedication and expertise in cases such as this. Liza worked very hard on our case- although it moved slowly because of the system- she was able to assuage my concerns about the timeline and to help me understand that in many ways time was on our side. Liza regularly made herself available to hear my concerns and help me understand what the process would be like. Liza was not only was thoroughly prepared, she was also impressive in the courtroom. I have no prior experience but during our trial I saw her line of questioning discredit a physician testifying against our case. Her line of questioning also led to our CPS case worker admitting that we seemed to be fit parents and that the state would require no further services. This courtroom expertise, along with the expert witnesses that Liza found on our behalf, are what I believe led to our case's success. In the end our case was dismissed and our son was returned to us. Liza was able to negotiate our CPS findings as well. I hope that your family never finds yourself in a situation like ours, but if you do, I highly recommend Liza for her expertise, dedication, experience and compassion!

Strong advocate and dedicated attorney

Liza Burke is an outstanding domestic violence attorney. She helped defend me in a very stressful domestic violence protection order case and was extremely responsive, dedicated and aggressive. She responded quickly to all of my questions, even when on vacation. She was very transparent with me and p...rovided great counsel and advice for my case. Her advocacy in court was great; I was impressed with her dialogue with the judge in court. She is very passionate, funny and assertive. Overall, I would highly recommend her to anyone involved in any domestic violence or protection order cases.

Liza took on my case and closed a lengthy and tumultuous legal battle expeditiously and with acuity.

Liza came to my rescue after being served with papers and nowhere to turn. I found Liza through a recommendation from one of her colleagues while searching for counsel. My case involved a lengthy property dispute that turned ugly with false allegation of harassment. She performed a thorough and co...mprehensive research of the case, and together we developed a strategy to resolve the issue. With only two weeks of preparation Liza was able to successfully defend my position with an outcome that exceeded my expectations. While in the courtroom, Liza demonstrated her grasp of the situation and was rock solid in her defense of my position. She was quick on her feet when the opposition presented some emergent information that was not previously discovered, and used the judicial process to my advantage. Liza presented my case in professional respectful manner that garnered a courtroom atmosphere of trust, sincerity, and professionalism that enabled the desired outcome. After three previous attorneys, I can honestly say I am glad I hired Liza to bring closure to my unfortunate situation, and would recommend her for any legal matter.
