About Burleson Legal Group

What is so unique about Burleson Legal Group? Aren’t there other experienced bankruptcy law firms out there? Over the last 22 years, our founder attorney David Burleson has only represented debtors seeking debt relief and has never represented a creditor. That’s because he has a true passion for serving those in need and helping them get the fresh start they deserve.

Additionally, Dave has also learned a thing or two, both good and bad, from owning and managing a large multi-state bankruptcy law firm called Fresh Start Legal Group.

The good: his continued focus on educating his clients about the bankruptcy process works well to alleviate his client’s stress and makes the process more efficient for everyone involved.

The bad: multiple staff and multiple attorneys worked on any given file which led to confusion, miscommunications, and lack of trust.

Well, no more! At Burleson Legal Group, each client is assigned only one individual bankruptcy attorney. That attorney is the same attorney you first consulted with and remains your point of contact from start to finish. There are no paralegals or assistants who work on your case, just your attorney. They know your case like the back of their hand, having gotten to know you throughout the process. We believe this personalized attention sets us apart from other experienced bankruptcy firms. 608-268-9073

Testimonials

In early 2020 I contacted David Burleson with questions regarding Chapter 7 bankruptcy. He is very knowledgeable and helped me understand the process. My case was finished in less than 5 months. While working with Dave the information he requested was clear and easy to follow. He was able to handle the complexity of my case dealing with multiple states and was willing to do additional work and research to complete my case. I would recommend David to anyone who is considering bankruptcy.

In 2017 our home was in foreclosure and after careful consideration we hired David Burleson of Burleson Legal Group. Dave answered all our questions and kept us updated throughout our 5-year Chapter 13 bankruptcy. He worked with us to get through all the challenges we faced. He was always professional yet added his personal touches reassuring us throughout. While we are excited to put this behind us, we couldn’t have done it without Dave’s expertise. We would recommend Burleson Legal Group to our family and friends and we truly appreciate everything Dave did to help us.

In late 2019 I was in serious debt with credit cards, loans etc. and I was having a tough time trying to move past all of that. I really didn’t know what to do. I called Burleson Legal Group, and Dave himself provided me with some options that included a Chapter 7 bankruptcy. Dave did a great job of explaining everything in detail when answering my many questions. He patiently providing me with as much information and detail it took to reassure me throughout my case. I truly feel that I was lucky to have Dave’s expertise spearheading this whole process and I could not have done it without him. I would gladly recommend Dave’s office to my family and friends without any hesitation. I know that Dave would provide them with the same type of comfort and knowledge that he has shown me.
