John is an extremely bright person and has a rare blend of analytical and inter personal skills. His meticulous approach in problem solving is exceptional. John strong confidence in his abilities to carry out individual researches. I asked him some very in depth question on local and federal guidelines. I had my answers in 2 days.

John helped us teachers to advocate for a teacher who was wrongfully removed due to his whistleblowing. John is for the worker! A great attorney regarding workers rights!

Mr. Burgess and his team provided exceptional service and, frankly, unexpected positive results in a Federal Whistleblower Retaliation case just over a year ago. Due to Mr. Burgess, determination, knowledge, and artful management of the hearings, we prevailed. In addition, Mr. Burgess negotiated an acceptable settlement to a separate Discrimination complaint (EEOC) brought against the same Federal agency. These cases are complex and quite difficult with the purse and legal infrastructure of the Federal Government stacked up against plaintiffs with limited resources. Mr. Burgess took the Federal government to task twice, on my behalf, and prevailed both times. Mr. Burgess passion was evident throughout the process. Mr. Burgess' remarkable oratory skill was on full display during extemporaneous closing remarks where he pulled together two days' of witness testimony and key points from hundreds of pages of evidence to close the door on the Federal attorneys' arguments. When Mr. Burgess finished, the opposing team looked resigned and simply shook their heads. I recommend Mr. Burgess to anyone who needs representation in his areas of expertise. I will certainly seek his counsel again if I am ever in need of legal representation. Thank you John. You are a very good attorney and I appreciate your professional ability. More importantly, I appreciate your compassion and support through a very difficult and lengthy process. Your belief in me and the fact that you took the time to listen and empathize made all the difference. Thanks for taking the time to be real.
