It is very important to select an attorney that you know will tell you the way things are and not just appease you with what you want to hear. Any attorney can promise a client the world and ask for a large fee. Unfortunately and too often, the misled client may be severely disappointed when, months later, the attorney is unable to deliver the promised result. Steve Burton will never make a promise that he cannot keep or tell someone what they want to hear in order to have the client retain him. Steve Burton will give you the best evaluation possible, given the facts as presented to him, along with quoting a very fair fee. Steve will strive to get the best result possible every time.
