Testimonials

From Google Reviews: "Shawn is a very passionate attorney who has invested his time and devotion to our case. He has represented me and others extremely well, determined to get justice for his clients. Shawn has the knowledge and experience to get positive results. I have friends who were incarcerated and treated unfairly who found justice and freedom thanks to Shawn Burkley."

From Google Reviews: "I gave a 5-star review about a year or 2 ago when we first started working with Mr. Burkley and now I’d like to update and give another 5 stars and a testimony. If more than five stars could be given, we would. This man is a true blessing to my family's life. From professionalism, charisma, knowledge, and true compassion this attorney carries all the values you would search for when looking for someone to represent yourself or your loved one. My husband spent 18 years of his life in prison, since he was just 16 years old. Mr. Burkley reviewed his case and believed he qualified for SB 1437, the fairly new felony murder law. Without going into all details, my husband is now a free man! As he should have been years ago. Our family is now complete, and we couldn’t be more grateful."

“D. S. Burkley led a long and successful appeal of a [multi-million dollar] judgement rendered in favor of the City of Los Angeles, … which would have driven the family into financial ruin. Due to his diligent efforts, the judgement was eventually reduced to a manageable and fair $115,000. We are honored to testify to Mr. Burkley's excellent legal expertise which is matched by his outstanding responsibility for his clients.” 

From Avvo reviews:

"Lifesaver! Without going too deep into my family’s legal issues, the law office of Dennis Shawn Burkley has been a lifesaver. From the first moment he called to inform me my father was incarcerated for assault, he was there to help me arrange bail he then fought that case with a very favorable outcome. Unfortunately, my father passed away later that year, but the law office of Dennis Shawn Burkley was there to assist with UD tenant living in my deceased father’s home. Once again, a very favorable outcome was reached with the tenant evicted and a monetary judgment in my favor. His office was even able to help with the title search and transfer of my father's home. Oh, and by the way, I am three thousand miles away in New York."

From Avvo reviews: "My roommates and I came to Shawn to help us sort out maintenance/repair issues we were having at the property we lease. Shawn was thorough in assessing our problems and constructed a firm, professional response to the management company on our behalf. He did a great job explaining our options in 'plain speak' and kept our expectations reasonable. I would not hesitate in recommending him to our family and friends."

From Avvo reviews: "When my teenage son got into trouble we were terrified. Shawn was reassuring, understanding and compassionate! He also worked diligently to find a solution to my son's situation. We are forever grateful and would highly recommend his services!" 

From Avvo reviews: "Could not have gotten my settlement without him.

Shawn was recommended by a friend and was very helpful. He was hired to help settle an employment agreement dispute. He was patient, professional and polite throughout the whole process. He offered sensible counsel and, in the end, reached a settlement for me. Highly recommended."

"Shawn and his team are very professional. He saved my parents' house from being taken away and also got money back. He is very knowledgeable in his practice and highly recommended."
