During this time, she discovered that her true passion is helping others in need in the most difficult time of their lives.

Ms. Burke enjoys the diversity of family law, the uniqueness of each family dynamic, and the ability to use her skills to help families transition. Having witnessed childhood friends who were victims of divorce, Ms. Burke has observed the impact of alcoholism and mental health issues on families. She understands the needs of a broken family and uses that information and her prior observations to help clients make good decisions for themselves and their children.
