On recommendation, I hired Laurie Joe, formerly known as Laurie Hurst, as my family law attorney to file for divorce. It was complicated and difficult, but nothing was insurmountable for her. She represented me well, always with integrity, wisdom, understanding, insight, and necessary research done. Even after the divorce, as issues continued with the other party, her dedication did not change. In the five plus years I have known Laurie as my attorney, she has always been professional, kind, my advocate, and readily available. Inside the courtroom, she is well-prepared, quick to respond, and gets results. Outside the courtroom, she is equally impressive. I highly recommend Ms. Joe as an attorney.

Laurie, took on our case short notice back in 2016. She did an amazing job with hearing out our concerns and giving us peace of mind. Even though it was short notice she didn't turn us down and even made time for us and made us feel like we were a priority.
Our case spanned about 2 years and Laurie did an amazing job all those two years -- giving us suggestions, helping us stay motivated, and always making time to hear out our concerns when times got tough.
She did an outstanding job when it came down to everything. She's very clever, witty, and absolutely smart. She matched our families dynamic and made everything feel a little less stressful.
We were having a very hard time finding a lawyer in the begin but when Laurie Joe was referred to us by a family friend it almost felt like we had found our saving grace.
I couldn't think of anyone as well equip and as wonderful to work with as Laurie Joe. Even in the financial aspect she was very willing and able to work with us.
Whenever anyone we know asks us for a lawyer recommendation we are always quick to refer them to Laurie Joe.
Thanks to her hard work and determination we feel happier and closer as a family.
So, thank you Laurie, thank you for being a part of our families happiness and pushing so hard for us. You are one of the best things to happen to our family!

Unlike my experiences with other law firms, they act right away and tell you exactly what's going on with your case. They make sure you get what you deserve. Definitely worth it.

I had the pleasure of having Rebecca represent me in a post decree issue. She was extremely professional and handled my case flawlessly. I would recommend her to anyone and would gladly hire her again!

If more than 5 stars were an option, that is what I would give. I’m so happy that I had Stephanie on my side! From my first phone call and consult with her I knew she was someone who really knew what makes a case successful. After that call I was also sure that me and my daughter could not be in better hands. She made sure I would be ready and prepared for possible outcomes. She doesn’t think just one sided and gave me possibilities for how a judge might see something as well. She wasn’t making me empty promises to me. She’s strategic. She really listened to me and my concerns. She was patient with my frustrations and anxieties with the other party. She knew the moves the other party would make before I did and as I did. It was almost like she knew him as well as I do. I feel like her experience as a CFI was also extremely useful. She knew what my daughter needed. Her team is also wonderful! Communication was clear and prompt. If you’re looking for an attorney who will approach a case aggressively and strategically, thinks outside the box, and actually CARES about you and your case, then give her a call. No doubt she is knowledgeable in situations of high conflict or where personality disorders are present. I got 99.9% of what I wanted and asked for and I’m not sure my results would have been the same if I had gone with a different attorney. I really think things would have ended differently. Hopefully I will not need legal services again but in case I do she’s on speed dial. She’s very good at her job and I’m very grateful I had her through a very stressful process.

Jennifer Scott and Burnham Law are the definition of excellence. Jennifer helped me navigate a complex emergency restriction and modification process. Despite a high conflict co-parent and opposing council, Jennifer represented my case with highest level of professionalism and integrity. Her courtroom and litigation performance command respect. It became clear in our proceedings that her knowledge of the law, her preparation and her presentation put her in control. In fact, she was acknowledged by the courtroom judge as being one of the best attorneys in the state in her field- you will be hard pressed to find a better endorsement than that!

Jennifer understood my case and my objectives intimately and pursued them passionately. Regardless of her case load, she was always responsive and available to the needs of my case. She never had to review a file or brush up on details, she knew it inside and out and she fought for my child like she was fighting for her own.

There is no denying that legal representation is an expensive endeavor. But I can’t say enough about how Jennifer Scott and Burnham Law is worth the investment. I have had a difficult and ongoing case since my divorce. Since introduced to Jennifer and moving my case over to her, I accomplished more in four months than I had in two years with my previous firm.

I strongly endorse Jennifer Scott and Burnham Law and refer them continuously. I credit her with rescuing my daughter and she helped change our lives.

In family law, JP is SPINELESS!!!!

I cannot say enough about the Burnham Law Firm and Jennifer Scott and her staff. Jennifer and Todd Burnham were able to navigate me through a very tough, high-conflict divorce. Jennifer Scott is a true professional who is very savvy and truly cares about the outcome for her clients. Through the Burnham Law Firm, I was able to move forward with my life in a positive direction after a very tough divorce. I can't express enough how fortunate I was to have Jennifer and the staff of the Burnham Law Firm on my side.

I highly recommend Rosemary Rizk (and Trish Wilkerson) for family law cases. Rosemary and her team are attentive, intelligent, ethical, and hard-working. We did a lot of research before going with Burnham—we chose the right firm.

I highly recommend Rosemary Rizk for any custody needs. She not only knows the law but truly works hard to understand your needs and how she can best be of service. Rosie had to run in many circles with my case and every time she would suggest ways to keep the process moving forward and/or things I could do myself to keep costs down.

Rosie Rizk is thorough, compassionate and fights hard for her clients!

No one has time or money to waste when dealing with family law issues. I’ve had bad experiences with other attorneys. I will always come back to Rosie with Burnham law. She has helped me with several post divorce issues, for that, I will always be grateful. Thank-you Rosie, you’re the best!

As a divorced Father, I am often amazed at the outdated interpretation of family laws and guidelines that were created long ago and have no basis in today's world. Times are simply different now and there are many outstanding Father's that simply deserve better than the laws and guidelines provide them. Thankfully I found Rosemary Rizk and through her wisdom, knowledge and understanding of family law, was able to successfully turn the interpretations of those same laws and guidelines in my favor. On two separate occasions during my divorce, Rosie was able to defend my rights as a Father and gain me both equal parenting time with my daughter, as well as financial relief. Rosie is a miracle worker. She combines a deep sense of humanity, warmth, caring and incredible listening skills with a complete understanding of the law and the ability to be innovative in finding workable solutions. She is a bridge builder and barrier climber. Her interaction in my matter reflected a firm pragmatism while continuously striving to achieve a result that protected my rights as a Father and relationship with my daughter. Most importantly she always showed a deep respect not only for the emotional costs of divorce, but responsible sensitivity for the practical costs. I have so much to thank Rosie for that the words "thank you" would simply not be enough.

Rosie Rizk is an excellent family law attorney. She is extremely knowledgeable and I believe always has my best interest in the forefront of her mind. She is very thorough, honest and compassionate. She is also very direct and assertive when she needs to be (a kitten with a whip!) and I am thankful to have her representing me.

Highly highly recommend! Rosie and Trish did an amazing job on my case, extremely attentive, responsive, and never missed a beat.

Rosemary Rizk helped me navigate my case and encouraged me every step along the way. My custody case was very complicated and not in my favor due to me not being a biological parent, and because of her guidance I received full custody, much more than I asked for. She's amazing.

Rosemary Rizk has been helping my family and I through our custody case. She has been a tremendous help and relief for our family. It has been so wonderful working with her, as she really cares for our cause and is always presenting all of our options to us with such care. She is fierce when she needs to be, yet well spoken and educated, and we feel very supported by her. I would 100% recommend Rosie as a lawyer !!

I worked with Rosemary and she was wonderful. She was great at explaining the process of my divorce and all possible outcomes. I would highly recommend her to anyone!

If you want your case to be dragged out and an attorney that does absolutely nothing, Rebecca is your attorney!

Lisa Frigo is incredible.

Since the beginning of my parenting time case Lisa has been attentive, thorough, patient, and considerate of how difficult the situation was. There were several frustrating nuances to this case that Lisa identified with which helped me set realistic expectations. I could ask her anything and never felt ignored or pandered to. It's one thing to feel like someone just represents you, and it's something very different when that person truly supports you.

She has given me hope that Dad's absolutely do have rights, and I can not imagine where my son and I would be without her.

Thank you forever for everything you have done for us!

I can't thank Rebecca Amat Y Leon enough! I won my trail and was awarded attorney fees. We were fighting relocation and enforcement of parenting time. I had to part ways with the previous law firm I was using because of their complacency. Rebecca came on board about 3-4 days before my trail. She did a great job filling in and picking up the pieces of the previous firm, I can only imagine what she would've done if I had hired her from the beginning. She had a different strategy that proved to be a game changer, this strategy was never brought up by the previous firm which had 8 months. Not only did she care but the firm seemed genuine the managing partner Eric also showed up to my trail and helped with strategy between breaks. I wouldn't hesitate to hire either lawyer in the future, they were both open, honest and great at what they do, some lawyers only look for settlements and some litigate, she is a true litigator. I wish I would've hired her from the beginning but even so I truly believe without her new strategy the outcome wouldn't have been so great. Thank you Rebecca and Eric!!!

IF YOU'RE A DAD (or mom) SEEKING CUSTODY OF YOUR KID/S. DO NOT HIRE Rebecca Amat y Leon!!

From my 6 months and $10k of experience working with her it is in my opinion that she does not believe in father's rights. Like many of you seeking help in these family matters I read review after review and decided that I would give Burnham my business.

Upon my initial consultation I met with Rebecca Leon and told her what my issues were and what I was seeking. My issue being I have a 3 y/o daughter born out of wed lock who's mother was intentionally keeping me from seeing or having parenting time with my daughter once the relationship ended. The mother even moved out of state with my daughter without even saying a word to me. I needed to have my daughter brought back and have my parenting time enforced. Rebecca informed me that what I was asking would be difficult to attain but we would at least try.

The Bad: Early on in my case I stated to Rebecca that I wanted her to file for temp orders for parenting time because I didn't want to wait 6-9 months before I could spend regular time with my daughter again. She convinced me that we should negotiate interim parenting time with the opposing party and wait for the CFI (child family investigator) report instead. This was extremely expensive vs filing for temp orders like I initially requested. Because of all the back and forth between my attorney and the opposing counsel so many unnecessary hours got billed trying to negotiate all the logistics and then having to file that agreement with the court just so I could see my daughter for a few hours a day over the weekends. This entire process took place every time I wanted to spend time with my daughter.

Once the CFI report came out it was very unfavorable in terms of my daughter only being allowed a total of 40 day with her dad for the entire year and barely going up the following year. After expressing my concern to Rebecca that this was unacceptable and I wanted more time with my daughter she basically takes the position that this is what I should just accept. She gave no push back on the report, no fight or anything. Instead she tried to convince me that seeing my 3 y/o daughter only 40 something days a year was a good deal.

Soon before mediation Rebecca tells me to come up with my own concrete parenting plan since I didn't agree with the CFI's plan. Keep in mind I had never been through a custody battle and this overpriced attorney is telling me to go figure it out on my own. So I did and when I submitted my plan to Rebecca for review, she basically say's yeah there's no way the opposing party or judge will enforce this. She even suggested that I go to the mediation without counsel! Instead of helping her client come up with a more favorable parenting plan she feels that it would be a waste of her time and my money to have her at the mediation! After much back and forth with my own attorney I implied that I'm paying you and yes you need to show up to mediation. After 3 hours or so mediating both parties were able to agree on many issues. One of which I felt strongly about was the parenting time which went up from approximately 40 days annually to almost 100 days! Had I took Rebecca's advice and just accepted whatever the CFI suggested I would have never got this many days. At the end of mediation the mediator asked Rebecca if she took notes to write up a MOU on what was agreed upon. Rebecca didn't even take notes, she had to ask the opposing counsel to write up the MOU.

Last straw, on our final status conference call Rebecca stated to the judge that I would like to spend father's day with my daughter. The judge asked the opposing counsel is there a problem with that? The opposing counsel basically held a hearing over the phone and Rebecca said absolutely nothing to defend against his inaccurate statements. Just silence from her. So the judge agreed with the opposing counsel and I was denied having any parenting time with my daughter on father's day!

Needless to say she got fired.

Jennifer Scott encompasses professionalism, knowledge, integrity, passion, rationality, and her presence in the courtroom is unparalleled. Jennifer helped me navigate a complex cross-border custody battle, and she has my infinite endorsement.

No one wins or loses in a custody battle, the best possible outcome is to walk away knowing that you were well represented. Jennifer Scott is the absolute best. Never settle for less over the things that mean the most. Thank you Jennifer, your dedication is inspirational, your poise is poetic, and your impact will forever contribute to my life forward.

I agree with all other reviews that say 5 stars is not enough. I had multiple cases and EVERYONE I had the pleasure of speaking to/working with at Burnham Law from the receptionists to paralegals/lawyers were pleasant, professional and had a human side that some other large legal firms lack. Lisa Frigo set up my protection order case and Laurie Jo appeared with me in court....both of these ladies are amazing and very comforting. Aaron Belzer represented me in a lawsuit I was served with which was definitely a terrifying experience. Aaron is patient, rational, understanding and clearly loves what he does; as he should since he does it so well. I would refer anyone I care about to Burnham Law and I am grateful they were there for me through my nightmare of a legal experience....they were definitely the "positive" part of what I had to deal with!!

I was a Very complex case And they truly did what they needed to do to save my life

If your searching google because you need the BEST and are confused, I searched high and low and spoke to many firms. I would recommend this firm. I worked directly with both Lisa and Laurie. —

My case was turned down by some law firms. Let’s put that to start. Key terms: probation, domestic violence, temporary protection order, Allocation of parental responsibilities, with fraudulent claims to gain grounds in court. I was going up against a tough battle. I was rescued and saved by Lisa (criminal) and Laurie (Family).

I needed the best I could find. I trusted these people with my life. They came through.

I sent them every single email every single text message every single little damn thing and they read it all and I needed somebody who would do that. they listen to what I said they made time, I was able to go to the office and bring my stuff they listened.

Did id I have to pay for it, yes obviously I did but that wasn’t the point I needed somebody that Possessed the and the bandwidth to deal with the complexity of my case. I got a miracle. Because these people listen to what I had to say, and didn’t glass over it.

I liked: transparent, timely communication, they have their paralegal included in on every email so you have 2 sets of eye on everything, tactical, follow up, litigators, basically no BS and they do the work.

I liked that Lisa was a previous DIstrict attorney and was able to get my TPO consolidated into family court. She is respected in the industry.

I liked that Laurie fought for me. She was just so fantastic. She answers emails, has her paralegal Morgan included in all phone calls and emails. They communicate with you in a way that prevents a he said she said issue and ensures transparency. This leads to stuff getting done and accountability.

Look, if you need good help they will help and care in the process. I could have not gotten better help Anywhere else because my case was too complex. Literally saved me so much, and not just money.

I first hired Laurie Joe (Formerly Hurst) in 2010 and have continued to use her over the last 9 years when needed! She is AMAZING!! I was completely in the dark regarding my divorce, my kids and my options. After meeting with her, I had a clear understanding of the court procedure, my options, and the correct way to move forward. She always takes the time to make sure to answer all my questions, be hopeful but honest with me and make sure I feel good about moving forward! She supported what I wanted/needed 100%. I feel completely confident with Laurie! I would highly recommend her.
Thank you Laurie so much for your kind-heart, wisdom, and guidance over the years!

I hired Laurie to represent me on my child custody cases and through a neglect case that came up do to my ex-wife. Laurie was great the entire time, she continuously fought for my rights regardless of how difficult I was the entire time. She helped me to understand what my rights were and what I could do. I first hired her after I realized I wanted more time then I was given with my children. After helping me get through several months of court cases and mediation, I was able to obtain 50/50 custody of my daughters. Then maybe a year later, I received a phone call from child protective services that my oldest daughter had been neglected and had something bad happen to her. I chose to have Laurie represent me, despite her warnings, and I couldn't have been more happy with the results. I know have full custody of my daughters and can happily report that now 2 years later they still have not seen their mother who ran away, instead of owning up to her responsibilities. I highly recommend anyone that needs an attorney regardless of what the matter, divorce, child custody or neglect cases, should hire Laurie. She is patient and a great attorney, and someone that I will hire again if the need ever rises.

Laurie and her team really helped us out through a difficult custody situation. The professionalism and dedication to our case exceeded our expectations and was very appreciated. It was comforting having someone so knowledgeable to rely on through what would otherwise have been a very complicated and stressful process.

Replaced my previous lawyer and law firm with Rebecca from Burnham. She from the start was in my corner and helped navigate my difficult complicated mess.

Talented attorney, incredible results!

I had the pleasure of having Lisa Frigo represent me in a child parenting case. I was at once impressed with her professional and caring demeanor. She made me feel like I had her undivided attention and kept me updated with any changes or progress with my case. She handled a very emotional and personal matter with care and the outcome was better than anything I had imagined. I am now afforded the parenting time and decision making in my sons life that I did not think was possible.

Lisa Frigo is an absolutely incredible attorney. I highly recommend her. She has fought for me and went above and beyond. The experience I have had with Lisa Frigo is work class amazing. Thank you Lisa for all your support, advice and representation.

Rebecca was my saving grace in the most ridiculous divorce. Her candor is what sets her apart from all other lawyers. Rebecca and Alyssa kept me in the loop every step of the way. I was updated with emails every time there was contact with my ex's lawyers, and weekly billing updates. Alyssa was quick to respond to any questions or concerns that I had during the process. Rebecca was respectful of what I wanted, but she also fought for me on what was fair and didn't waste time on trivial issues. She was motivated to help me close out my case and I never felt like she was dragging it along unnecessarily. I really cannot recommend Rebecca and the Burnham Law Firm enough!

Randall and Stacy are very knowledgeable, know the laws, and care about the wellbeing of their clients. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND

Having a lawsuit brought against you is probably one of the most traumatic things a person could go through. Having a frivolous lawsuit brought against you, adds bricks to the weight. Aaron Belzer and Todd Burnham took our case on, unsure of all the exact details... but he sure brought himself up to speed quickly.
He wanted to know everything. He even wanted to hear how we felt, how we were doing, how our children were doing. And he remembered everything regarding our case. From what we told him, transcripts, motions filed, down to the finest detail. Mr. Belzer is full of insight, and he knows just what card of law to put on the table, and when.
He was phenomenal at answering any questions we had, and was straightforward about his opinion and strategy.
At one point in time during this lawsuit, my husband was so angry at the Plaintiffs, Mr. Belzer got to be (in my eyes) a “verbal punching bag” of my husband. But he stood there with complete compassion and professionalism and redirected my husbands anger and stress, to positivity for our end of the case.
We attended one pretrial, which was set for continuance. At our second pretrial, Mr. Belzer swung every single claim (5 of them !) against us out. DISMISSED.
He was remarkably professional, and prompt when it came to speaking to the court. On one occasion he stood up reciting statute word for word, with nothing but a blank notebook in front of him.
He literally left opposing counsel stumbling for words.

Working with Aaron Belzer and the Burnham Law Firm was a great experience. I hate that they only give me an option for 5 stars, they deserve 10.
We will stick with him, and the firm always for any legal assistance we need in the future.

They were really friendly. They explained things to me in a way that I could understand. They did a super job on my case. - Sheila

Randall and Stacy did outstanding work for my husband. Everything was explained clearly and they never left him out of the loop. They exceeded all expectations of what an honest law firm should be about! We would highly recommend Randall to anyone who needs an honest lawyer and most importantly one who has compassion for the needs of the client. Many Thanks!

What is something nobody wants but everyone wants to win? A lawsuit.
Jessica and Jean and Montica are as professional as they are caring and understanding. Of course, my family (big family) would prefer to have met them under different circumstances. THANK YOU

Randall and his paralegal Stacey are very knowledgeable. They are great to work with and respect and listen to you. I would use this firm for any future accidents and recommend them to all family and friends.

Randall and Stacy did an excellent job with my case. They explained the steps of the process in great detail and helped me understand anything that I may not have fully gotten. They made sure to communicate where we were even if they didn't have an exact answer. I have already recommended them to several people looking for personal injury attorneys.

RANDALL AND STACY showed my case the importance that it deserved... an for that I'm forever grateful an will put my trust n confidence in them as my personal injury Attorny

I was engaged in a divorce proceeding that had already lasted over a year. My wife and her attorney were trying to take me for everything they could get financially and in terms of custody of our child. After a lot of research, I contacted the Burnham Law Firm and had a consultation with Todd Burnham. I mentioned to my wife that I was about to retain him and she told her attorney. Her attorney advised her to settle rather than battle him in court. I got every major term I was asking for.
