Hired Law Firm
I worked with attorney Alexandra Mazzeo, and in a few short months, I was finally able to get a matter resolved that was a problem for over 7 years. Thank you.
Todd handled a situation in which a hospital charged over $100,000 for emergency medical services. Even after agreeing to settle for virtually our entire net worth, the hospital demanded full payment. Todd worked for more than a year for a fixed fee (!), constantly refining our case and guiding us through the steps. The case was resolved by a Chapter 7 filing, completely discharging the hospital debt. We can't say enough about how outstanding were Todd's efforts, and that of his staff.
Todd Burnham is by far the most direct, honest, and cost effective attorney I have encountered. Todd is an excellent listener of the case history, and extremely effective at providing prompt resolution to the case. Todd is very efficient with his/your time and money. You will not be disappointed with representation by Todd Burnham.
I would highly recommend Todd Burnham. He was extremely easy to work with, explained everything thoroughly and always answered my questions very quickly. The best thing is he was able to communicate everything in easy to understand pieces. Everything went smoothly, quickly and hassle free! Thanks, I will definitely use Todd Burnham with all of my future Legal needs.
Todd made the situation very comfortable and easy to complete the steps. I would highly recommend his services to anyone looking for legal advice. He was always very responsive to my emails and phone calls and understands the stress his clients are under. Contact Todd today if you are looking for a lawyer......he knows the system and takes care if business.
My experience with the Burnham law offices has exceeded my expectations. My personal and professional interactions have been addressed each time expeditiously and with meticulous attention to my independent issues. As with all matters of professional or personal nature you must have representation that is clear and concise to help you navigate the decisions that are right for you. I find the Burhnham Law team to provide me with exactly that.
I give my highest recommendation for The Burnham Law Firm. Todd is very friendly and truly caring. He does an extraordinary job responding quickly to questions/concerns and providing trusted advice. Todd delivers exceptional work, and rates are more reasonable than others in the local market. I couldn't be more satisfied with the outstanding service I received from Todd. I will definitely choose The Burnham Law Firm for any future legal advice, and I will always refer family and friends!
We hired Burnham for a high conflict divorce case involving parental alienation and other emotionally damaging tactics to 2 small children. Instead of a top litigator, we were assigned Jennifer Scott. Burnham prepared their case for us, 2 two PREs were assigned to investigate both families, but the report concluded that the father provided zero benefit to the children's life. Jennifer Scott told us to "just take what you can get" and offered no solutions or strategy to counter the PRE report and assumed court decision. We terminated engagement with Burnham and hired another firm, resulting in a very successful case in winning majority custody vs. Jennifer's efforts resulting in near zero time with the children. The prior PRE report was thrown out and Jennifer Scott's work, strategy and preparation were highly scrutinized for inadequacy/mediocre due-diligence efforts. I highly caution you against engaging with Burnham without ensuring the caliber of the attorney is adequate.
Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.
The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.
Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.
Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page
Martindale Peer Reviews
Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.
The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.
What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*
• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.
• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.
• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.
Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.
Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.
Ratings and reviews are feedback from people who have either consulted an attorney about an issue (but may not have hired the attorney) or people who hired an attorney as a current or former client and provided their feedback to our sister site, Avvo.com.
