The Law Offices ofZachary J. Burkhalter, PC got this award in 2021
I could write a book about how great this man is! I promise you if the DUI case can be won he will win it. He doesn’t give false hope and tells you exactly what he will do and possible outcomes. Even though he helped an ex of mine and we don’t speak anymore I will still stand by his work. He had actually helped my brother and about to call him about a friend shortly. My favorite part is if you call his number 95% of the time he answers but if he can’t he always calls back.
Words can't express the amount of gratitude I have for Mr. Burkhalter. He did everything he said he would do plus more. He stuck it out with me the entire 2½ years it took to resolve the case and not only did he help me avoid 10 years in prison. The first thing he asked was how am doing then said let's get you out of here not to mention he came and saw me on a Sunday and was already working on my case before he arrived. There were a lot of ways things could have went sour but he always stay on the up and up and kept me a good spirits and I'm forever appreciative for it.
Very pleased with how the case was handled. It was short notice but he got it done. Will be contacting him again. He sat down and talked with me and my son and explained everything to us. Very cost effective. My son was had 3 felony charges and he got everything dropped to 1 misdemeanor. We were shocked at his work. Couldn't thank him enough. He really is for "the people."
If your in doubt don't hesitate,call Zach! Zach helped me out with my situation and worked on my case until not only I was satisfied but he was too.Zach is very professional and down to earth. He really takes the time in getting to know you and your case. He is always very truthful during the process and always there when needed. I never once didn't receive a call back or was unable to reach Zach. He was always there even during his most busiest times. Zach has a way of making you feel comfortable and not rushed during the process in making any sudden decisions. Zach will fight for you and your case using all his skills he has obtained from schooling and years of experience in the courtroom. Thanks Zach you deserve all the credit bud. We need more like you out here!!
Words can't explain how grateful I am to have a lawyer in my city like Mr. Burkhalter. He done a lot for me in my case and I appreciate all that he done! I would recommend me him to anyone in my city, he has a lot of insite on the law and more. Thanx!
I cannot express how wonderful my experience was working with Zachary. Very professional and on top of things. 10/10 recommend trusting him with your case. I always felt as though he was going above and beyond for me at all times.
It was my first time being in any Legal issues and Zach Burkhalter made it so simple and easy. That I was so relax and straight headed the entire time. I got my life back in order thanks to him! Would definitely recommend!!
Mr. Burkhalter is a great attorney and a good guy. he took care of a minor traffic violation case for me that endangered my business, as i am a self employed truck driver. i highly recommend.
Thanks to my Attorney Zach Burkhalter’s hard work and diligence I had the best outcome possible. Because of his efforts with the DA we were able to get the charges dropped. He insured that truth and justice prevailed. I would recommend Zach Burkhalter to anyone that needs an attorney. Outstanding man and outstanding Attorney.
Mr. Zachary is, by far, the most knowledgeable lawyer I have worked with. He is very fair on pricing and knew exactly what needed to be done for my case after our first conversation. He did not push towards one route over another and left every decision up to me. I would highly recommend his services!
Reviews
These client and peer reviews are from the Martindale-Avvo Legal Network.
Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.
The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.
Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.
Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page
Martindale Peer Reviews
Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.
The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.
What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*
• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.
• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.
• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.
Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.
Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.
Ratings and reviews are feedback from people who have either consulted an attorney about an issue (but may not have hired the attorney) or people who hired an attorney as a current or former client and provided their feedback to our sister site, Avvo.com.
