As I checked “No” for having been adjudicated guilty for a crime on my college applications this evening, I realized I never got to thank you for everything you have done for me. I know that this is your job and you do this for people every day, but I wanted you to know how much I appreciate your work.

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. 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.

We appreciate all your efforts on behalf of our family. You are a wonderful lawyer and a truly caring and kind advocate.

She was careful and diligent in protecting my rights as a parent

Liza Burke maintained professionalism and responsiveness throughout my entire process. In addition, she is powerful, decisive, creative, helpful and very personable. I felt confident throughout the process knowing that she is doing her due diligence in ensuring that all parties are heard and represented accurately. I would highly recommend her to anyone for any situation. She was there for me every step of the way.

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!

I represent clients in high conflict family law cases that often have related criminal charges. I refer my clients to Liza because she knows how to get serious felony assault charges dismissed. Liza has an excellent reputation in her field, which goes a long way in negotiations with prosecutors. She is also extremely responsive to clients and to counsel. If you are facing serious criminal charges, you should contact Liza today.

Dana was so great to work with. Dana helped us through a school discipline matter and at the same time defended our son from criminal prosecution. She really listened to our sons’ side of the story, and got to know him. I’ve never met a lawyer with this much compassion. She went over all of our options and gave us the flexibility we needed over how much we would spend on our son’s defense. She even gave our son a lecture (like a good friend would) concerning some of his recent behavior and encouraged him to do better so he could go on to get the job of his dreams. She met all of our goals and then some. Thank you Dana.

I am forever grateful for having the opportunity to have Liza by my side

Ms. Brown is by far the best criminal defense attorney! She really listens, her defense tactics are incredible. She is so knowledgeable and always kept me informed. She is very easy to talk to, and really puts your mind at ease. Keep up the good work Dana!

Liza was extremely knowledgeable and was very good at explaining things in a straightforward, easy-to-understand manner. She did not ‘sugar-coat’ things; but helped us understand what could happen, what our options were and what her experience has shown her was likely to happen. All of this eased some of the huge amount of fear that arises when your child is accused of a crime. Liza was concise and timely every time we talked with her.
