This attorney has no clue what she is doing in family court. She does not do what is right for the children. Greed, not what is best for the child is what she cares about. People that are happy with her results are most likely where the children’s best interest are not!!

Scott is a true professional and a great human being. I had selected another firm that wanted to take a very aggressive approach to a very personal and emotional circumstance. Your kids will remember how you handle your divorce and how you treat their mother. Divorce does not to be all out war. Scott was able to take what turned into a very aggressive experience and quickly come to terms through logical, empathetic and kind communication. I wish I would have started with his firm. If you are looking for a human to represent you and you care about how your kids perceive your actions Scott is your guy. As happy as I could be with the most difficult and stressful experience my family and I have gone through.

Scott is a great lawyer and especially a human being! When I first called him he was more concerned about my welfare than the case at that point! He was very up front about what I could expect, what the cost could be and how long it may take! I was most impressed with his response when I decided to terminate the case. He expressed his joy that my wife and I reconciled as opposed to wanting another case to represent! I would recommend Scott to anyone!

Was looking for a lawyer for my custody case. I read some good reviews on this place and was very optimistic. I sent all the paperwork that I had over to the office almost 2 weeks before my consult was scheduled. Finally the day comes to do the consult and she hadn’t even bothered to read the paperwork I sent over before hand. So the first several minutes of my consultation was spent with her just skimming over the documents I sent. After that when I tried to explain the situation to her, she was very rude and condescending. When I would say some thing about some thing in the court order, she would argue with me and say no it doesn’t say that. I would say yes it does, I have read this court order at least 50 times, and then I would have to spend another minute waiting for her to skim through it and read it over again and say oh I guess you’re right it does say that. Mind you, I was paying $200 for a 30 minute consult and she spent at least a third of that time reading this paperwork and arguing with me about what it said. How do you get off arguing with me about what a court order that you haven’t even read says?? Anyways at one point she literally told me that I need to lose the attitude against my ex because it’s not going to help me. Obviously I’m not going to walk in a quart room and have attitude with the judge but I should be able to express my feelings to my lawyer hey, at least I thought so. It seemed to me that she felt because she was older than me, she could scold me like she was my mother. She literally said “I’m gonna sound like your mother for a minute”. She constantly interrupted me and argued with me the whole time, and repeatedly told me that basically she did not believe what I was telling her and there HAD to be another explanation for why certain things happened in my case. I was very clear from the beginning that my ex is a literal sociopath and the GAL was extremely biased and I got massively screwed over. If things had been done correctly and fairly the first time, I wouldn’t have been here looking for a lawyer now! Anyways, this was by far the most unprofessional consultation I have ever had and the biggest waste of $200 I’ve ever spent. At the very least, she should have actually taken a few minutes to read the court orders I sent over before our consultation, considering she had almost 2 weeks to do so. Extremely unhappy and would not recommend, unless you want to spend $200 for 30 minutes of someone arguing with you and treating you like a child.

These attorneys WILL NOT look out for your best interest! They're there for a easy paycheck and will not fight for you or your families best interests. Honestly should be criminal to allow "attorneys" like this to practice law. Charged me $600 to drop my case that another phenomenal lawyer won without much effort. No thanks to the huge hole this crummy law firm dug me into before dropping me and charging me to quit. Wouldn't recommend them to my worst enemies. Especially Leslie Gilbert she will show up to court looking haggard, wont stand up for you and will charge you when she can for anything and everything. STAY AWAY UNLESS YOU LIKE TO THROW AWAY THOUSANDS, TRUST ME!

Super responsive, professional, and hardworking on each case.

Scott Burkhalter is top notch. Scott navigated a very intense and difficult child guardianship case in regards to our niece and nephew. Family is a delicate subject and Scott exemplified professionalism, compassion, empathy, extreme knowledge and strength. We always felt like a team and he was the captain we could whole heartedly trust. His calm demeanor and firm, strategic approach was very successful. We consulted him off and on throughout the years when new issues arose and he always made us feel like his most important client and handled everything swiftly and diligently. I can honestly say Mr. Burkhalter played a huge role in saving the kids lives and we are forever grateful.

Scott Burkhalter is an absolute professional. His knowledge of family law, the legal system and his ability to communicate with others makes him especially valuable. He was able to help me navigate an angry and messy divorce with kids. I would highly recommend Scott to all of my friends and family.

While I never wished to find myself in need of a divorce attorney, I am thankful that I hired Scott Burkhalter to represent me. He is knowledgeable, insightful, trustworthy and professional. He guided me through all the challenges and frustrations you typically face during a dissolution with the utmost care and professionalism. I highly recommend Burkhalter Law for any family law matter.

I hired Scott Burkhalter for my prenuptial agreement before I got married. Not only did he complete this quickly he was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. I would fully recommend Mr. Burkhalter!

One of the best decisions I have made was to choose Scott Burkhalter to represent me. He is a man of integrity, easy to work with and knows his stuff! My case was handled professionally, thoroughly and timely. Scott was very fair with his fees and even offered to chat on the phone a few times at no charge. I strongly recommend working with Burkhalter Law.
