Liza was a pleasure to work with respect to several domestic violence cases. She was thorough, professional, and competent. She answered my questions in a very timely manner, and was even responsive to me when she was out of the office. I had nothing but quality interactions with Liza, and would r...ecommend her highly.

So my neighbors called the police and reported me for a domestic dispute, even after my wife told the police everything was a misunderstanding, the police still arrested me. After my wife bailed me out, the first call we made was to Ms Liza Burke. From the beginning, Ms Burke was extremely thorough, ...going through each and every alleged fact that the police reported. She was knowledgeable about the prosecution even though she doesn't normally work in Pierce County. When I say knowledgeable, I think she may be psychic, she knew what the prosecutor would ask for before we proceeded, and when we moved forward, she correctly knew what the result would be. She knew how long the process would take as well as the supposed strategy of the prosecution. She knew the best way forward to achieve the results we both wanted. Ms Burke advocated for my family and I at every turn, whether it be to the prosecutor, the judge or to the domestic violence assessor. She is very careful to never show her hand to the prosecutor until the last minute (when the prosecutor has no other options) at which point the prosecutor had no other option but to accept the terms Ms. Burke offered...in full....In short Ms. Burke is worth much more than the money she charges, I hope to never be in court again, but if the day does come, I want MS Burke in my corner advocating for me!

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!

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.

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.
