Attorney Phil Burleson, Jr. is my hero!!  Mr. Burleson, of Lyon, Gorsky, Haring, & Gilbert law firm has a father's heart for police officers. 

I never thought it would happen to me, but I was fired for reporting corrupt activity within my department.  Mr. Burleson stood by me, listened patiently to many tearful conversations, and provided encouragement every step of the way.  He was able to get the accusations overturned by the city council.  I was reinstated with all back pay and benefits, and my good name was restored. 

Mr. Burleson believed in me from the beginning and always returned calls and emails.  I never attended an interview or meeting that he was not with me and giving me advice.  I was never alone in the process.  I am blessed to have him on my side. Mr. Burleson truly "Backs the Blue".
