Hired Attorney

I hired Kathryn Jakuback Burke to represent me in a difficult criminal case, and it was the best decision I ever made. From our very first meeting, they were professional, empathetic, yet up front about the legal process I was encountering. Kathryn and her team kept me informed every step of the way, answering my questions promptly and easing my anxieties. They meticulously investigated and reinvestigated the details of my case and developed a strong defense strategy. Their strategic approach and expertise ultimately led to the full dismissal of my case. I am profoundly grateful for their hard work and highly recommend their services to anyone in need of a top-tier criminal defense attorney. They truly saved my life.

I could not have asked for a better team of attorneys to handle my case. From start to finish, they were professional, personable, and truly inviting. We received daily updates and they consistently checked in regarding our pain levels, showing genuine concern for our recovery and progress. Their communication and dedication made a difficult process so much easier. I would highly recommend this firm to anyone in need of compassionate and effective representation.

Hired Attorney

I cannot recommend Kathryn Jakuback Burke highly enough. She went above and beyond during a very difficult custody battle, and her dedication has truly made all the difference. Kathryn was incredibly compassionate, yet firm and strategic. She always took the time to listen and explain each step so I never felt lost or overwhelmed. Her attention to detail and ability to anticipate challenges helped me feel prepared and confident throughout the process. Kathryn also made me feel supported, protected, and heard during one of the most stressful times of my life. She is not only an excellent attorney, but also a caring advocate who truly puts her clients first.

It is solely the responsibility of lawyers and law firms to ensure that any information they provide complies with all applicable laws and rules of professional conduct.

Lawyers.com Client Reviews

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.

For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings™, please visit our Ratings Page on Martindale.com and our Frequently Asked Questions

Avvo Client Reviews

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.
