"I saw Ms. Burton about a discrimination question. She was very knowledgeable and professional. Her advice was excellent. I would recommend her to anyone who needed a competent, organized, honest attorney."
Attorney Burton was a fabulous advocate for me. She was knowledgable, professional and pleasant to work with. I like a lawyer who navigates the legal system with such ease and competence. I always felt as if she protected my interests. My case was difficult but we got through it. I have recommended her to others because of her competence, professionalism, tenacity, and unbridled talent. Yes, she costs money, but when was the last time you worked for nothing?
