The Burleson Firm is proud to serve the citizens of the entire State of Alabama in cases concerning divorce/family law and DUI defense from its central location in the Birmingham metropolitan area. Committed to excellence, the firm endeavors to limit its practice to the two areas in which the firm has exhibited the most skill and achieved the greatest success for its clients. Its founder, Tonya Frazier Burleson, has been licensed to practice law in the State of Alabama since 1990.AlthoughMs. Burlesonis trained and experienced in numerous areas of the law, she believes that in our complex society, it is difficult and impractical for any attorney to remain current on every legal topic. The Burleson Firm strives to provide the highest level of skill and the latest available legal information by narrowing the firms focus to only two areas of the law. Your attorneys concentration will not be divided among multiple types of legal matters, each of which are encountered only occasionally by that attorney. In all but the most unusual cases, your attorney will be dealing with familiar issues that are addressed routinely every day. The primary goal of the Burleson Firm is to provide clients with the best possible representation in the fields of family law (divorce, child custody; child support and adoption) and DUI defense through continuing training, research, dedication and experience in these two fields.

At the Burleson Firm, preparation for trial is considered fundamental. Whether the case is a divorce involving issues such as child custody and property settlement or a DUI case involving issues like probable cause to arrest and blood alcohol level, the firm plans your trial strategy from day one. The opposing counsel will always know that we have no fear of trial if they refuse to offer a viable settlement option. Frequently, this approach often increases the likelihood of a favorable settlement and avoids the necessity of trial. However, in the cases in which agreement is not possible, you will never feel pressured to settle because of lack of preparation or a sense that your attorney is intimidated by the opposing counsel or the prospect of trial. Although there can never be any guarantee of any particular outcome, you will have the peace of mind to know that the Burleson Firm will work aggressively to ensure the best possible outcome for you under the facts of your case.
