Lisa Anne Burke

Lisa was my attorney and advocate for months as she navigated my hostility / discrimination/ retaliation case. Her empathy, professionalism, and pure knowledge of the law is next level. She gave me confidence when I felt alone. And she guided me into what was best for me. I’ve never met an attorney l...ike Lisa and I would give her the highest recommendation.

Here is the short of it: Lisa is an amazing human being that also happens to be an outstanding attorney. First, she knows the law inside out. She is a gifted writer. She meticulously and proactively works through every step of litigation. She is 100% collaborative and brings years of experience to he...lp guide decision-making. She never misses a deadline and returns every phone call in a timely manner. She is 100% vested in getting her clients the outcome they feel is fair. I can attest she did this for me! Here's my story: I received a promotion employment offer which I hired Lisa to help me negotiate. I expected to work with Lisa for about a week and it turned into an 18-month claim filed with the county court system. The situation with my employer became ugly when they used their significant resources to hire the most prestigious law firm in the Puget Sound to fight the case. Fortunately, Lisa is equally competent and regularly goes against these "Big Name" attorneys that are hired by corporate defendants. She diligently followed the legal process to collect all the facts necessary to support my case and the law. This may seem easy and I assure you it is NOT. To get the facts Lisa had to use her expertise and experience to ensure that she was not out-maneuvered by the opponent's curveballs and tricks; they never seemed to end! Through this battle, Lisa was professional with opposing counsel. As her client, she kept me in the loop, educated me on the legal process, advised me of potential outcomes, and kept a positive and encouraging outlook. It took 18 months, partially due to a 4 month COVID delay, AND I could not be happier with my outcome!!! This employment consultation unexpectedly turned into a major life experience. I am grateful to have shared it with Lisa. She believed in me <3

I hired Lisa to review a separation agreement with my employer. She was very knowledgeable about the law, detailed in her review of my documents, broke things down in simple terms, and provided outstanding advice that ensured I got the best possible separation negotiated. I wouldn’t hesitate to recom...mend her to anyone!

Hiring Lisa was the best decision I made when exploring my legal options for a work-related issue. I can confirm that Lisa knows the legal system like the back of her hand. While these types of situations can be nerve-racking and anxiety-inducing, Lisa is the calm, steady voice that makes you feel li...ke you're not alone. She helped me understand everything and was empathetic but straightforward, explaining all the legal jargon and the options I had. You can tell that she wants you to succeed. Ultimately, Lisa got me the results I wanted through calculated decisions and was there from start to finish.

Lisa is absolutely amazing. She is one of the most intelligent and articulate people I've worked with from any field. Lisa listened carefully to my story and explained the options for legal action. In the end, I settled with my former employer via a severance package rather than pursuing a lawsuit. W...orking with Lisa behind the scenes, I negotiated a 600+% increase in the initial offer from my company. Lisa spent at least 10 hours working with me and advising me, and did not charge me a dime. My conversations with Lisa spread over several months due to the complexity and changes of the case. Even after not speaking for months, Lisa remembered the many details of my story. Lisa advised me promptly, over weekends, and until the day she went into labor! I finished the process working with one of her partners, who charged a reasonable flat-fee for reviewing the final documents. For me, pursuing my case and working with Lisa was about so much more than money -- it was about fighting for justice and the validity of my experience. And, throughout the entire process it was clear to me that Lisa CARED. When you are experiencing retaliation and hostility in your workplace, things can become very dark and confusing. Lisa validated my experience and confirmed that the company was acting illegally. Lisa cut through the confusion, found the facts, explained my rights, and helped me stand taller throughout the process. Lisa is an excellent person and attorney, and she's fierce and passionate about justice. I cannot recommend her enough.
