I got tangled in an unfortunate incident in Seattle and the evening quickly escalated to the most horrible experience of my life, one moment i was in the car with my family, next i was being escorted to prison for an alleged DV Assault charge. This was the first and only charge against me and i was... pretty confused on the turn of events, I had initially hired another attorney before Liza, the other attorney was too busy for me, never met me face to face for my hearings, i had to talk to a person on the phone - who suggested that i take DV assessment and counselling and sent me to a center in Tacoma - she was pushing for a SOC and not for a fair trial. I wanted a different outcome, I researched the internet looking for an experienced, well respected and well reviewed attorney who had good experience in cases in Seattle and King County. I came across Liza's profile. I was immediately put at ease when i spoke with her. She was very methodical and took the time to explain my options and the way forward. One of the first things Liza did was to cancel my DV assessment. I found that Liza had great insight and was always approachable via phone call or email. She was prompt in returning phone calls and replying to email 100% of the time. The pre-trial hearings went on and Liza represented me very well with her partner. We discussed all options and collected all data to strengthen my case. We discussed sensitive issues around involving my then 9 year old son and Liza's counsel proved invaluable in my decisions. Liza knows the system and will make use of her experience to get you out of trouble. She and her partner Dana together bring in a wealth of knowledge and experience in working with the public prosecutors in Seattle Municipal Court. They work as a team and are extremely good at bringing options to the table, analyzing them and pushing forward with the plan of action. They are also very good in working with the public prosecutors. I am at ease now, working on a plan to get the charges dismissed just as Liza laid out on day one. Do not hesitate, please have Liza represent you. You can sleep well knowing that you are in great hands.

I recently found myself in deep, uncharted waters... accusations of domestic violence leading to an arrest, over 36 horrific hours incarcerated, and criminal charges lingering over my head. I quickly realized you are not innocent until proven guilty. The legal system can be difficult, unfavorable, ...and overwhelming. I have dealt with several lawyers in civil matters, so I was skeptical and nervous facing an issue that could impact so many aspects of my life. I hired Liza Burke based on the reviews here and our initial meeting, and I couldn't be happier with my decision. Ms Burke immediately put my fears to rest. Unlike many other attorneys, she is a great, empathetic listener, consistent, transparent, and offers invaluable knowledge and expertise into your process. She not only communicates a plan, but also executes it, so I was confident the entire time despite not knowing the outcome. I am pleased, relieved, and grateful my case was dismissed! You get what you pay for, and when you have a lot at stake, don't leave it to chance or anything less than the best. Thank you Liza Burke!

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.

Liza was extremely knowledgeable of my domestic violence case. She worked well with my wife's lawyer to successfully revoke the no contact order and then fully dismiss the case. She kept me well informed of the case and there were no surprises. Everything she said would occur happened. My wife and I... are extremely satisfied with the results of the case and Liza was a big part of it.

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.
