Personable and results-driven. Extremely grateful Liza was on my side.

When I found myself in unfamiliar waters, dealing with domestic violence accusations and going up against a system that isn't real favorable to males, I was comforted knowing Liza was there to ensure my case was dealt with fairly — and more importantly — with integrity. I had consulted with three ...other attorneys, and something always seemed a little "off" with them. Perhaps it was the fact that every other attorney I spoke with was more interested in telling me about their process, how cases typically get resolved under a Stipulated Order of Continuance (plea bargain) or how they were going to "rip" the other side. Liza was the only attorney who actually asked me what I wanted and what was important to me — which, in my case, was nothing short of a complete dismissal. Liza saw that my case was dismissed, all while being personable and knowing when to infuse a bit of humor into the process to lighten the mood. In an environment full of negativity, Liza was a positive force and one whom I highly recommend should you find yourself needing representation.

Professional, highly competent, and effective counsel. Highly recommend her!

Liza represented me in a very complicated case that involved serious consequences for my future. She was an ally when I really needed it. She was able to handle my case in a professional and very effective manner that ultimately resulted in a ruling in my favor. She put me at ease during the entire ...process. If you need a defense attorney, then you couldn't ask for a better attorney than Liza. Truly the best there is at what she does. Highly recommend her!

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.

Student Discipline Case

Liza fought for my son who was excessively disciplined by the Seattle Public School District. My son was in a fight at school with a bully, the bully picked on the wrong kid. The school board turned the bully into the victim. Liza stood up for my son. Although it felt hopeless, because everyone i...n the process was being paid by the school district except for my son, she prevailed. She handled the case with personal attention as if it was her own son she was fighting for. She was prepared, knew the State Law, and the districts discipline procedures. She was well organized and presented herself with confidence and conviction. Honestly I hope to never have to use her again but if my son (so help him if he does) ever gets in trouble again the first phone call will be to Liza. I'm not an online review type of guy, and this is my first ever for anything, but Liza has earned my respect, trust, and loyalty for the way in which she fought for my son and I'm 100% confident that she would do the same for you.

Liza is a lifesaver

I met Liza at a very scary, vulnerable point in my life. I was being accused of things I knew I was innocent of, but I was at a loss as to how to navigate this frightening legal situation I suddenly found myself in. Liza immediately gave me hope and made me feel a little more in control. Over the nex...t several months, Liza guided me through the unfamiliar legal proceedings with kindness, humor, and her unwavering optimism. She worked tirelessly on our case, and it was very clear to me throughout that she is an excellent lawyer: she knows the law, is a creative problem solver, and is dedicated to her clients. When our case finally resolved, in our favor, I knew it was thanks to Liza Burke.
