Knowledgeable Advocate

Lisa advised me during a dispute with a former employer. She was incredibly knowledgeable about the issues related to my situation and made sure I understood the process every step of the way. She is incredibly personable and was able to make me feel comfortable during a challenging time. I would not... hesitate to recommend her!

Hire Lisa for Excellent Service and Results

Lisa is an awesome attorney! She assisted me with obtaining a favorable outcome in severance negotiations with my former employer. She took the time to listen to my situation and explain to me all of my options. She was easy to get in touch with and helped me to get the desired results quickly. I wil...l most certainly use her if needed again.

Posted by Bailey | November 04, 2014 | Employment & Labor

Lisa has helped me twice and is simply amazing.

To say that Lisa Burke is an excellent attorney would be an understatement. Lisa has represented me in two very complicated legal matters. On each occasion, Lisa has aggressively and zealously advocated for me. She helped me to navigate a complex legal landscape by listening to my questions and pr...oviding me with clear explanations and advice regarding my claims. Lisa obtained excellent results in both of my cases. I would not hesitate to recommend Lisa to anyone needing employment representation or services. Simply put, Lisa is the best.

Lisa Burke review of discriminatory case

Lisa Burke represented me in a pregnancy discrimination case. Lisa was there for me during a very difficult time. I feel lucky to have had an attorney that actually cared about me and understood how difficult my situation was. I cannot recommend Lisa enough. She will aggressively advocate for you... and do everything in her power to obtain the best result possible.

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
