What Makes Burke Brown Attorneys, PLLC Different?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our attorneys have nearly 40 years of combined experience in successfully defending people against the most serious accusations. We have saved thousands of careers, families, educations, and reputations. Our careers were built in Seattle\u2019s high-volume urban courts. We\u2019ve successfully defended hundreds of clients from all walks of life, from people on low incomes to CEOs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019ve appeared before all types of judges and interacted with hundreds of other attorneys and prosecutors. As a result of our experience, we have built upon our successes and achieved high ratings from our clients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Respected by Courts, Prosecutors, and Other Attorneys<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We aren\u2019t new, unknown, or dismissed by the players involved in your case. We are respected professionals, with reputations and professional skills that have been conscientiously cultivated over time. We\u2019ve even represented family members of judges and prosecutors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Respect, knowledge, and professionalism earn points with judges and prosecutors. We marshal our reputations, integrity, and professional approach for your maximum benefit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fees with Parameters<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We know the bottom line is success. We also know that fees are of concern to you. We are not the most expensive attorneys, and we are not the cheapest attorneys. If you are looking for the cheapest attorney, we are probably not for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We provide experienced and professional services at rates in keeping with attorneys who have over 20 years of experience and success. We also know that when it comes to fees, the sky is not the limit. We work with you up-front to understand your financial parameters and the needs of your case. From the beginning, we try to anticipate all the work that will be involved so we can provide financial predictability to you. If there are contingencies that may increase your fees beyond what we expect, we try to identify those also.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We Aren\u2019t Generalists; We Are Selective<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each of us focuses on discrete practice areas within criminal defense, education law, and juvenile law. We don\u2019t purport to handle everything or every client. We will turn down cases that fall outside our areas of knowledge and skill even if you want us and offer to pay us. We just don\u2019t \u201cwing it\u201d with our clients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our clients are, most frequently, professionals, career-oriented people, young people with promising futures, and good parents with families they love. We know the needs of our clients in those areas, and we know the systems involved in those areas. We know the hidden traps. We know the areas to work and how to work them. We stick to the areas we know and know well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We Protect Our Clients<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Being accused of a crime or other wrongdoing is a highly stressful experience. Of course, a successful result is the goal, but the process to get there can be anxiety-producing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The system can be fast, formidable, and unfair. The laws are open to interpretation, and it can feel as though your guilt has been decided before you\u2019ve even said a word.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
