Scott came highly recommended to me and I would have to say that I would do the same. I don't know how I can expand any more on the above rating: He was excellent in all regards. I would gladly stake my name against his reputation.
"I endorse this lawyer. I have worked with Scott on a number of family law cases in the past few years. Scott is a fair and reasonable attorney, but also advocates well for his clients. Any client would be very well served by his representation."
"I endorse this lawyer's work - have worked with this attorney and have referred many clients to him. He does an excellent job, is honest, ethical and efficient. One of the top family law lawyers in the area."
"I endorse this lawyer. I have had the opportunity to work with Scott on family law matters. He is a strong advocate for his client and takes all steps to represent the interest of his client."
"I endorse Scott. He is experienced, knowledgeable, savvy and hardworking. His enthusiasm and desire to achieve his clients' goals is obvious, and that leads to positive results for his clients."
"I endorse this lawyer. Scott is very knowledgeable in the family law arena and is a pleasure to work with. Scott is competent and professional and has earned the respect he has garnered from our office."
"Scott Burkhalter is an exceptional lawyer who I would recommend without hesitation for family law matters and domestic disputes of all sizes and complexity. Scott is practical and effective at working out creative solutions. He is well-respected, and has a solid reputation as a skilled advocate among lawyers and judges."
"As one of the more active trial lawyers in Snohomish County, I see most trial lawyers in Snohomish County and have had Scott as an "opposing counse" on numerous occasions. I have also worked with him trying to settle cases, successfully. He is realistic with his clients and does not just tell them what they want to hear. He has my full respect and serves his clients well. If I had a problem that needed representation, he is one of the first to whom I would turn."
"As my supervising attorney and mentor for many years, I have found Scott to be a zealous and compassionate advocate for his clients. His contributions to our legal community and his daily interactions with colleagues demonstrate his commitment to upholding the highest ethical and professional standards. I endorse Scott because he is a demonstrated asset to his clients and to our legal community."
