Attorney Information

Overview

Ms. Burke has been with the firm for nearly 15 years, fiercely advocating for her clients in all types of employment-related matters. Ms. Burke prides herself on being a trial attorney and has tried numerous federal jury trials to successful verdicts against varied employers, including Fortune 500 companies, public sector employers and closely held businesses. She most frequently litigates employment matters in federal courts throughout PA and NJ but has appeared in matters via pro hac vice admission as permitted in other federal courts on the East Coast.

Ms. Burke's employment litigation background also includes appellate work, arguing before the Third Circuit Court of Appeals, including one panel with retired Associate Supreme Court Justice, Sandra Day O'Connor, sitting by designation. Ms. Burke's appellate work in the Third Circuit has resulted in successful reversals in both published and non-published opinions.

Prior to working with the firm, Ms. Burke previously held a prestigious judicial internship with the Honorable Carol Sandra Moore Wells, U.S. Magistrate Judge for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, as well as spent time with the Federal Defender's Office for the District of Delaware.

Ms. Burke regularly presents on employment related matters for the Pennsylvania Bar Institute and has presented for the Federal Bench Bar and NJSBA/NJICLE and recently took on Adjunct Professor responsibilities for Rutgers Law in Camden.

How do I choose a lawyer?

Consider the following:

Comfort Level – Are you comfortable telling the lawyer personal information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your problem?
Credentials – How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has the lawyer worked on other cases similar to yours?
Cost – How are the lawyer's fees structured — hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?
City – Is the lawyer's office conveniently located?

Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?

Here are a few to get you started:

How long have you been in practice?
How many cases like mine have you handled?
How often do you settle cases out of court?
What are your fees and costs?
What are the next steps?

Want to check lawyer discipline?

It is always a good idea to research your lawyer prior to hiring. Every state has a disciplinary organization that monitors attorneys, their licenses, and consumer complaints. By researching lawyer discipline you can:

Ensure the attorney is currently licensed to practice in your state
Gain an understanding of his or her historical disciplinary record, if any.
Determine the seriousness of complaints/issues which could range from late bar fees to more serious issues requiring disciplinary action.
