Practical advice. Strategic advocacy. A legal partner you can actually talk to.
Whether you’re building a business, navigating a difficult dispute, or are a solo practitioner or law firm managing a complex piece of litigation, Burton Legal provides thoughtful, practical legal support tailored to what you need.
I work with small businesses and individuals who want clear advice, sound strategy, and a lawyer who takes the time to understand the bigger picture. I also collaborate with attorneys and law firms that need support from an experienced litigator—whether that means stepping to provide assistance on legal research, brief writing, discovery, or simply adding another strategic mind to the team.
My approach is straightforward: understand the problem, identify what matters most, and develop a strategy that makes sense for you.
What We Offer
Running a business means making decisions every day, often without knowing which ones might have legal consequences.
Burton Legal works with small business owners to provide practical guidance before problems arise and strategic counsel when they do. That can mean reviewing or drafting agreements, handbook, or leases; helping you think through a difficult business decision; addressing a dispute with a customer, vendor, employee, partner, or other business; serving as a fractional general counsel; or simply being someone you can call when you’re not sure what the next step should be.
The goal isn’t to make your business more complicated with legal jargon. It’s to help you understand your options, protect what you’ve built, and make informed decisions about what comes next.
For Small Businesses
Legal support for the realities of running a business.
Burton Legal partners with attorneys and law firms seeking experienced support on litigation and appellate matters. I have substantial experience with depositions and discovery, have argued dispositive motions and tried cases in state and federal court, and have briefed and argued appeals in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit and Pennsylvania appellate courts. I can step in for a discrete project or collaborate more broadly as part of the litigation team.
Support may include legal research and analysis, brief and motion drafting, dispositive motions, case strategy, deposition preparation, hearing and trial preparation, or other substantive litigation needs.
The model is flexible by design: experienced legal support without the need to permanently expand your team.
Disputes & Litigation
When a disagreement becomes something more.
For Attorneys & Law Firms
Experienced litigation support and collaboration, when you need it.
Not every dispute needs to become a lawsuit. But when the stakes are high, having an experienced litigator involved early can make a meaningful difference.
I help individuals and businesses evaluate disputes, understand their options, and develop a strategy for moving forward. When litigation is necessary, I bring experience handling complex civil matters at the trial and appellate levels—from early case strategy and discovery through dispositive motions, hearings, trial, and appeal.
Throughout the process, my focus remains the same: clear communication, thoughtful strategy, and advocacy grounded in your actual goals.
