A year ago today I met you at your office to prepare for my hearing the next day regarding the Protection Order M filed against me. I was so scared to meet you because I had never had an attorney before, and I was so ashamed that I had been arrested. However, you were calm and encouraging. Although Dana met me the next day for that hearing, you dropped by later and we talked while sitting on the bench outside the court room. I am so grateful to you.
If you want a highly skilled and professional attorney who genuinely cares about your criminal case, I can’t recommend Liza Burke enough. I hired Liza after having been charged with 2 counts of assault 4 as well as having incriminated myself at the time of arrest. Despite facing a very tough prosecutor, Liza successfully revealed the credibility issues of my accuser as well as inconsistencies with the evidence.
If you are looking for someone who is knowledgeable, efficient, and experienced Liza Burke has demonstrated this time and time again in my court case that involved my kids. She has helped my family through a tough time in our lives. If I have to go through another difficult time I would hire her again.
Ms. Brown is by far the best criminal defense attorney! She really listens, her defense tactics are incredible. She is very easy to talk to, and really puts 200 casino bonus your mind at ease. Keep up the good work Dana!
Liza’s persistence and mastered skills, ultimately led to the outright dismissal of my case prior to pre-trial
It’s been just about two years since our trial ended and I always think about it a lot this time of year, so I thought I would just send you a quick hello. You’re still a hero at our house.(:
I had referred a case involving a CPS investigation to Ms. Brown, which concluded with CPS having no findings/unfounded. Ms. Brown explained the entire process, was very professional, and detail-oriented. She was careful and diligent in protecting my rights as a parent. Dealing with Ms. Brown helped me stay calm in what otherwise could have been a potentially scary scenario. I’d gladly recommend Dana without hesitation to parents if they’re under investigation by the CPS.
She is so knowledgeable and always kept me informed
Liza Burke is an amazing domestic violence attorney and handled my civil case with the best possible outcome! You cannot go wrong with Liza Burke, multiple attorney’s referred me to her as being one of the best in the field. I came to her after a botched recommendation from a different attorney to represent myself in my civil protection order hearing, which did not turn out in my favor. In my situation, I was facing a civil domestic violence protection order from an ex-friend/roommate after a heated argument, with no history of abuse, evidence, criminal record or prior incidents. At the hearing the commissioner recommended and entered into a lifetime order without any finding of facts and a maximum distance of 500-ft which effectively evicted me from my own separate apartment. This was not proportional to the incident and would cost me thousands of dollars to break my lease. Liza laid out all my appeal options; she was upfront and honest about the timeline and what she believed my options/chances were. She made it clear from the beginning that a dismissal in my case was highly improbable because of the error I made in representing myself in the first hearing. I appreciated her candor in this situation and she carefully reviewed the details of my case. She knew that I did not deserve what was happening to me and it was an uphill battle. But she remained a dedicated and meticulous protection order attorney, and did not give up on my case even though it was very tricky. She was communicative with me through the whole process and kept me updated the whole way because she knew that put me at ease. With careful planning and strategizing, she worked to put my case in front of a Judge and made sure my Motion for Reconsideration and Motion for Revision were as strong as possible and even conferred with colleagues with experience in the field. Despite not being able to have a hearing because of special court rules due to COVID-19, a Judge finally agreed with our written motion that the facts of my case do not support a life time protection order and revised the distance restriction as to not be evicted! I am so incredibly happy that I went to Liza and that she fought SO hard to help me! My only regret is that I did not go to her from the start, if I had, I am sure she would have had this dismissed. She helped me and my family get a sense of normalcy back and I will be forever grateful to her. If you’re looking for someone, hire her- she is the best! You will not regret it!
When our Special Needs son was expelled, then placed into an undefined status, and the information from the school system kept changing with each of our inquiries, we were at our wits end until we found Dana. The end results were wonderful: our son was placed into a better school, records cleared, and an acceptable I.E.P. was implemented. We are so thankful for the work that Dana did to help us through this confusing and stressful process. She kept us informed every step of the way and worked closely with us to coordinate meetings, strategies, and helped us to focus on achieving acceptable end results. We would highly recommend Dana to anyone in the midst of dealing with school districts, zero-tolerance policies, and special needs circumstances.
Dana was readily available on the spot: She was persistent, demanding and professional all times: Dealing with CPS, you have to be. And when the case spilled over to both Civil/ Criminal courts, including UI benefits, she assisted with that as well! In the end, the outcome is what matters: Cleared and Unfounded.
