Sick n Twisted

Maybe I should give two stars, after all, he helped me with some criminal charges, but when it came down to hiring him when I needed his expertise in saving my family, in the end, he really failed miserably. Long story short, after going to trial, the judge awarded me the winning verdict. I was elat...ed!!! until one second later when Mr. Burbidge stood and objected... WHAT?! Yep, you read that right... my attorney objected when I won. The judge reminded him that attorneys don't normally object to their clients winning, and he stuttered a bit and sat back down. In the meantime I am at a loss for words and understanding... And when the judge changed his decision... well, I still haven't gotten over that day, or the fact that Mr. Burbidge, as he was packing up and leaving, rubbed my shoulder in a very consoling manner, which only further confused me, and said "Why are you crying? We won."

Relationship: Co-worker

"David is a skilled and experienced family law lawyer. He is committed to serving his clients' interests. He is the lawyer I would want to be representing me if I needed one. Also, I am familiar with the circumstances of the reprimand. It concerned a firm administration issue. It was not related to David’s abilities, his honesty or integrity, and it had no impact on his clients. It in no way affects my view of him as a person or lawyer."

Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2013.

Reprimand issued in IA, 2013

updated on 02/03/2015

This means the attorney did something wrong, but the Bar did not suspend the lawyer. Typically in this case the lawyer's poor behavior is exposed to the public in hopes that he or she will not repeat the behavior.

David’s comment:

“This reprimand concerned a firm administration issue, was not related to David's abilities and honesty, and had no impact on David’s clients.”
