Review Ghislaine Storr Burks

Representation When It Matters

Posted by

I was recently represented by Ghislaine Storr Burks a criminal defense attorney of Livesay & Myers in a high profile case in Stafford Virginia. The case involved four felony charges, one misdemeanor charge, and many unusual circumstances. I felt that the personal attention i received and the dedication that was shown to be very comforting. From the first initial meeting to the reading of my NOT GUILTY veridict in the courtroom, Mrs. Burks was very supportive and compassionate. She spent many personal days including weekends and holidays preparing for my trial. She was quick to answer questions that i had. Livesay and Myers treat their clients like family and take each case very personally. I could not have been more comforted or felt more at ease than with this law firm behind me. Livesay & Myers provided two additoinal defense attornyes, Jessica Golden and Ben Griffitts to assist Ms. Burks during the two day trial. I would gladly and highly recommend this law firm to anyone in need of a caring, professional, and highly dedicated team
