Her credo is hard work and honesty. She brings her unique down-to-earth style to sensitive and often complex matters, winning her the respect of injury victims and adversaries alike.

Ms. Burnett began her legal career as a Research Attorney for the Los Angeles Superior Court, where she analyzed thousands of legal issues and literally wrote the rulings and opinions for several prominent judges. Over the next 30 years, she focused her private practice on catastrophic injury cases arising from motor vehicle accidents, defective products, and dangerous conditions on the property.
