Testimonials.

While being charged with a crime is never a fun experience, we are grateful that our clients have appreciated the services we have provided for them enough to have taken the time and tell us that.

We are particularly proud that a lot of our business comes from referrals of satisfied clients. Below are excerpts from some of the many letters we have received expressing gratitude. Note, some of these have been edited to protect the anonymity of the client – with names and other identifying characteristics removed.

"While going through the court process two times with Mr. Burg, I came to learn that he is also well respected by the Judges and Prosecuting Attorney's office.

I believe this can be very important in the decision making process on the court's part. We as people, all tend to subjectively do more for those who we like and respect in this world, and I'm sure that other attorneys with less admiration and influence may not have received the same outcome that Mr. Burg was able to obtained for me.

So if you're considering hiring an attorney, I would highly recommend Geoff Burg to handle your case. Feel free to contact me by phone or email if you should want to talk to me personally about my opinion. Mr. Burg has my contact information." - Sincerely, Ken.

"Dear Geoff,
Let me start by saying that I know I am not the easiest person to deal with and I know I can be incredibly impatient. I made a few stupid mistakes and had felt bounced around by a few attorneys when I finally landed in your office.

As I am sure you are aware of getting in trouble with the law can be extremely embarrassing, shameful, uncomfortable, scary, and a whole bunch of other things (I am sure you saw every one of my emotions over the course of a two year period). From the moment I stepped into your office for the initial meeting you made me feel comfortable in a very difficult situation. You went through the whole process with me step by step in a non-rushed manner (which I had experienced with other attorneys I met with prior to hiring you to represent me). You answered every question I had and gave me things to think about and prepare for.

I never expected my case to take so long to close and come to an end but I feel that that is part of the punishment. I want to thank you for representing me and for being there for me every step of the way. You have been extremely responsive, very caring and very thorough. I don't feel like my case was one in 50 as I may have with another attorney. You gave me the attention I felt I needed to get through the waiting period, more importantly you reminded me that what I was going through was not the end of the world.

Thanks for representing me for 2 years!" - Warm Regards, K.A.

"Dear Mr. Burg, Tammy, et al.,
Had a truly terrible day of it today: stop and go traffic, lousy grey weather, mixed up orders at work, and a few rude customers to boot. NONE of that mattered AT ALL because I am so happy about the outcome of my case this morning, thanks to you.

Geoff, it took some restraint over here not to high five and hug you in front of your peers this morning, so I hope you appreciate that effort.

Sincere thanks again to you and your firm." - Robert

"I would like to start off by thanking Geoff for all he did for me. He represented me in a ... case that I surely would have lost without him. This case was real important for me because I have family in Canada. If I would have lost this case I wouldn't be able to visit my family in Canada for 7 years.

When I first started looking for a lawyer I had friends and families recommend three other lawyers. I couldn't pass up on Geoff though when my friend told me about him and how terrific he was.

I can't compliment Geoff enough for his professionalism and poise while in court. With Geoff helping me I felt worry free and I could go on with my daily life without the thought of my case lingering on my mind. In the end not only did I win my case but I also have a new and trusted lawyer on my side. Thanks for everything." - T. T.

"Geoff represented me in a . . . case and did an absolutely outstanding job. In addition to expertise in the courtroom, Geoff also listened carefully, answered my numerous questions patiently, and responded quickly to issues that came up during my representation.

Most importantly Geoff presented my options in a realistic and intelligible way. I'd recommend him to any of my family or friends." - Mike

"I want to thank you for your help with my case. You were able to turn a possible life altering situation into just a great learning experience. I appreciate the time you spent on my case.

Your sense of urgency and dedication to your work is priceless. I now know first hand why you were recommended to me. I will definitely pass your name on to people who need your services (I have already given out your cards to my friends!) Thanks again for everything. Take care." -Tracy

"I have been meaning to send you a note to thank you for all you did to help me out. You made a very stressful situation more bearable! You have that unique quality of making people feel like you have time for them even though we probably are feeling down on ourselves. I was planning to say that I would refer people to you but I didn't think it would be so soon or that it would be my nephew. He really is a good kid. . . . Thanks again for everything & take care." - Sue

"In the midst of all his other glory this week I had the pleasure of watching Mr. Burg argue a motion in Kent Municipal Court this morning. This should have been a 5-minute argument regarding the City's motion to continue a trial, but in light of the questionable tap-dancing and other shenanigans by the prosecutor it turned into a 2 plus hour hearing.

Mr. Burg was the absolute gentleman in the face of some really borderline behavior exhibited by the prosecutor - and his grace and class lent complete credence to his argument. His preparedness backed the City right up against a straight dismissal and landed his client a pretty amazing resolution. It was fun to watch and great to see the caliber of work our members are doing. Nice going Geoff!" - Darcy M. - Criminal Defense Lawyer

"I want to thank you for again for the OUTSTANDING JOB you did on my case. You went out of your way to do everything you possibly could for me. You are a top notch attorney. I have told several people about you. Thank you also for being a caring person, as well as professional. I was impressed that you offered your free unsolicited advice to a teenager (who obviously need it) while we waited in court. You are a huge asset to your profession. Many thanks." - Sincerely, CB

"Thank you so much for your help with my . . . charge. It was nice not to worry too much about all the legal matters and have someone take over and take care of everything. You were very friendly and made me comfortable at all times. I hope I will never need your services again if you know what I mean (ha,ha). But if I ever need any legal advise or need your assistance again I will be sure to contact you. Thank you again." - MG

" Geoff did an excellent job representing my husband, with the resulting charge being [reduced].  Much to my surprise, I was also in need of a criminal defense lawyer in the past year.  I also asked Geoff to represent me.  I made a stupid mistake and never felt judged by Geoff.  He handled my case very professionally and got my case dismissed.

I was very impressed with Geoff's professional ability as a lawyer.  I have and will recommend him to anyone who needs a criminal defense lawyer in the future." - DK

"I was truly at the bottom of my life when we first met, and I can't tell you how much your straightforward, practical advise helped. I'm so thankful that I followed your advice, and I'm of course, delighted with the outcomes you were able to accomplish on my behalf. Such outcomes don't happen without diligent, thorough, hard work - and you certainly should take full credit for this." - Susan.

She is wonderful in court, wise and incisive. She is obviously respected by her colleagues. I would not hesitate to call her immediately, should I and/or a friend need counsel. Thank you Ms. Fulton and your friendly staff!" - Sandra.

"I just wanted to say thank you for everything that you did for me. I was so scared through this whole thing, especially at the beginning but you were there the whole way to walk me through it. I don't even want to think about where I would be right now if I had not of hired you. You saved me from consequences that I could easily have gotten and I thank you so much! You literally saved me! Thank You!" - Lauren

"Patricia, thanks so much for your outstanding work on behalf of my daughter Katherine.

This has been a long and stressful process, of course, but you were always ready to go to bat for what we wanted and make it as painless as possible." - V.

"I just wanted to extend my gratitude for a job very well done in defending me against my charge. You immediately 'took the reigns' of what was an unusual case and thanks to your knowledge and aggressiveness you easily got the case dismissed. Well done. I assure you that if I were in need of a criminal defense attorney again, I would not hesitate to turn to you first." - Bill

"Hello Aaron,
Sorry I couldn't get back to you earlier but just wanted to thank you for resolving my case expeditiously.

It is a big relief and now I feel I can move on with my life. When me and my wife came to you initially, other than uncertainty, we had little idea of what would happen in our near future.

Your detailed explanation of every legal step and your honest advice helped us overcome the obscurity of the whole legal process and gave us hope in the midst of much mental anguish and distress. Also, I wanted to appreciate you setting up an appointment for me and taking out time to go to the immigration lawyer with me.

All that showed not just your professionalism but also a genuine concern, a rare trait in today's world, for your client.

Thank you for all your help,

Best regards," - A.A. - Your Pakistani client.
