Kate Mairead Burns was assigned to my case against my former employer and assisted me in reaching a mutually beneficial settlement agreement. Throughout the process, Kate listened about the details of the situation with both an emotional and professional ear, which ultimately helped to build our case against the company. She was thorough in her assessment of the situation, and also guided me to think about the situation from different perspectives. Her honest feedback and professional expertise made me feel confident that together we would come to a settlement, and we did. I highly recommend working with Kate if you have a troublesome, convoluted work situation and need to understand how legally you can take action.

As I have dealt with several attorneys over my business years with subjects less important than this one, I would highly recommend Berke-Weiss Law. Alex, Laurie, and staff are an unbelievable team. Honest, realistic, and passionate in their craft. Ours was a multifaceted, difficult case resulting in a most unexpected, positive outcome. This was a very difficult time for me and my family, and I cannot thank them enough.
