I would recommend hiring Lisa Burke. She is very professional and knowledgeable. I was handling a very bad situation and I hired her to review an agreement. She gave me a really good understanding of the agreement. She also went above and beyond in helping me handling that situation and making the ri ght decision. I could not be any more thankful.

Lisa did an excellent job presenting all the needed information in an easily understandable way that enabled me to make the best choices possible regarding my case without pressuring me one way or the other, and we were able to achieve a great outcome for my case. She gives great advice and I would 1 00% recommend her for any employment related legal concerns.

I never imagined that one day I’d need to dispute a wrongful termination/retaliation case, but when that nightmare became a reality, I’m so thankful I found Lisa Burke and MBE Law Group! From the moment I connected with Lisa, she made me feel heard, seen, and validated. And throughout the process she took her time answering my questions, assuaging my concerns, and presenting all options for me to make an informed decision every step of the way. If you ever need a lawyer to fight on your behalf, there’s no doubt that you’ll want Lisa in your corner.

Lisa is capable, prompt, responsive, smart, trustworthy and fierce. I trusted her through the entire process and always knew what to expect next and when to expect it. With her expertise and honest feedback I felt equipped to make some difficult decisions on how to handle my case.

From the moment I spoke with Lisa, I knew I was in the presence of someone extraordinary. She is not just a lawyer—she’s a powerhouse of intelligence, wit, and unwavering loyalty. In a case dominated by male counterparts, she walked in with fearless conviction, commanding the room with both grace and grit. She never once doubted me, even when I doubted myself. Her belief in my truth and her fierce advocacy made all the difference. She was ten steps ahead at every turn—sharp, strategic, and unshakably composed. Watching her work was like witnessing a masterclass in legal brilliance. She dismantled arguments with precision and delivered her points with clarity and confidence. She wasn’t just defending a case—she was defending me, my story, and my right to be heard. What makes her stand out isn’t just her talent (though it’s unmatched), but her heart. She listened. She fought. She cared. And she never backed down. If you're looking for someone who will outthink, outwork, and outlast the opposition, this is the attorney you call. She's not just a lawyer—she’s a warrior in heels, and I am endlessly grateful to have had her by my side.

I knew within our first visit that Jake was going to provide excellent representation for my employment claim against a large telecommunications company (one that was so large that I feared an army of attorney's wouldn't take them on). Jake was confident and easily identified the strong and weak mer its of our case. He was very skilled and organized at mediation and was able to negotiate a fair settlement. We were able to avoid a lengthy and costly trial based on his success at mediation. He was honest about the risks and benefits and his experience really showed when making decisions around those factors. He kept me updated along the way and I never felt that I needed to badger him for information. It was a pleasure working with him and I would highly recommend Jake and his firm.

I was unlawfully terminated from my job and was referred to Jake the next day after finding out the bad news from my employer. Jake expertly, and professional gathered all the evidence and information needed to file a claim against the company within a very short time. He was compassionate, and took his time to answer all of my questions and keep me assured that we were doing the right thing, and that we would find a closure. Within a very short amount of time, the company did settle, and it was what I had hoped for becuase Jake and his Partner worked very hard to ensure that a fair ending was found. I am very thankful for Jake and his partner, and don't think that I would have been able to find this closure without them.

An employment situation had gone horribly wrong, and our business attorney referred me to Jake and mentioned how great he was. Jake made time to talk to me in the evening on a weekend to initially give me guidance. As the situation deteriorated, he was constantly communicating and touching base - eve n over the course of the holidays. He was helpful and understanding through an extremely difficult time for me, but he also made sure to keep my expectations in line with what was reasonable. He is obviously savvy in employment law but was able to translate the legalese into plain English that I could understand. His patience and consistent follow through was incredibly appreciated. Thanks again Jake!

Considering you consult an attorney when you are in a bad position, you need one that is understanding, experienced, and capable. I definitely received great council and care while working with Jake. I feel that he did a great job representing me, I would easily refer him to a friend or family member .

Unfortunately, I've had the need for legal assistance a few times over the last five years. FORTUNATELY, that person supporting me was Jacob Downs. Most recently, I was in a car accident where my son and I were both injured. I wasn’t sure how to proceed so I sent a quick note to Jacob to see if he could provide some advice. Not only did he actively listen to my whole story, he walked me through everything I needed to know and what to expect going forward. He gave me his personal phone number and made sure that I called or emailed him with ANY questions that may arise. For anyone that has gone through a similar situation, you know how stressful this can be. Jake effectively calmed my nerves and made me feel like I actually had quite a bit of control over the situation, for this I can’t thank him enough!! I can say with the utmost confidence that Jake is one of the most knowledgeable, caring and effective attorneys that I’ve had the pleasure of meeting!
