Falsely Accused

If you have been accused of domestic violence call Liza immediately. Liza was my second attorney after I initially hired an attorney without domestic violence experience. I cannot stress to you enough how important it is to hire an attorney with experience trying DV cases. Liza is tremendously skille...d and efficient and most importantly, she has a wealth of experience trying domestic violence cases. Wether you are falsely accused or not, you absolutely need an expert like Liza. Trust me. If it wasn't for her it's entirely possible I could have been found guilty of something I absolutely did not do. Thanks to Liza, my case was dismissed and I have my life back.

DV Case dismissed before pretrial

Liza did an excellent job on my Assault 4 DV case, getting the case and No Contact Order with my wife dismissed before the case was even set for trial. She handled the full completion with the prosecutor. I didn't even have to show up at the final hearing. Liza is very intelligent and fights strongly... for her client's best outcome. Highly recommended.

protection orders, Sept 2016

I reached out to several attorneys, all highly rated on Avvo, because of an anti-harassment order filed against me. It was messy because I already had an existing AHO protecting me, plus two no contact orders since the woman I was protected from was being criminally charged for violating the AHO (the... petition against me was clearly retaliatory). Liza was the only attorney who saw the entirety of the situation-- not only to get rid of the AHO petition against me, but to strengthen my protection from this woman in both civil and criminal courts. She laid out options for the extent of her involvement whereas other attorneys only focused on eliminating the AHO petition against me, or worse, just told me their retainer fee. The entire case was an emotional rollercoaster for me, but Liza was always on top of EVERYTHING (the cases themselves, communication, what needed to be done and when, paid attention to every single detail, etc), kept things in perspective, and really did a lot to ground me and help me not feel as hopeless and further victimized. I truly, truly felt like she was my advocate, in every sense of the word. She is empathetic, passionate, capable and confident. Additionally, she has lots of experience in the courts here, which was very insightful. I think things would've gone differently if I didn't have Liza-- I am very, very happy with this outcome!

The Difference an Extraordinary Lawyer Can Make

When a family is undergoing a serious lawsuit, there can be so much unexpected stress, fear, and anxiety experienced for an extended period of time. It's hard to know how to weigh everything appropriately, and where to put your focus and energy. You have to hope that you have the finest counsel avail...able to you, someone who will do all that they can as though the client they are representing is as dear to them as to you. In being represented by Liza Burke, our family had, not only the highest level of skill and integrity working day after day for us, but a woman of such sincere compassion and understanding that she was able to help our family cope and bond with one another for the very best outcome possible. What could have been devastating for us, strengthened us with her steady counsel and depth of experience. She commanded respect from everyone in the court process and from the full spectrum of colleagues and professionals we engaged with. We've never had to place our trust so fully in someone, and we couldn't be more grateful that we made the decision to do that with Ms. Burke.

Compassionateand trustworthy

Liza is compassionate, trustworthy, and highly professional. I interviewed multiple people before her and I knew after few minutes of my conversation with her on the phone that I was going to trust her to represent my son. She made herself available anytime I had questions, never feeling rushed in th...e process and she was there every step of the way. She was able to get results that she promised and kept us informed through out the process. She is a great advocate for her clients. I am grateful for her strong representation during a very vulnerable time.
