“I am a nurse and was charged with an assault. I couldn’t afford to lose my license if I was convicted. Mr. Burke convinced the DA’s Office to give me ARD instead of going to trial. I finished their program and I am still working as a nurse. Thank God for Thomas Burke. He got me out of a tough situation and I was able to keep my license.”

N. McMullin

“My boyfriend and I were illegally stopped by the police. They said they smelled ‘weed’ and illegally searched my car. Mr. Burke proved that there wasn’t any weed in the car and the judge threw out the charges. I was so scared. I thought I was going to jail, but Mr. Burke knew exactly what to say to the judge.”

L. Johnson

“Best lawyer ever! Mr. Burke took on the cops in my case and had the judge toss the charges. I’ll never use another lawyer again.”
