Douglas Burdette

Appeals lawyer | Jun 19

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I have known John for 21 years. While everyone knows he is a great construction law trial attorney, fewer know about his tremendous ability as an appellate lawyer. I have watched him argue cases in the court of appeals and I can say, without doubt, he is one of the finest appellate lawyers in the state."

Avvo Rating

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.
