Michelle Burke, Esq.
Associate Attorney
Michelle Burke is a Florida family law attorney who brings both depth of experience and an ability to deeply listen, often understanding not only what clients say – but what may be left unsaid, and to use that insight to guide with effective strategies. Clients often describe having an immediate sense of trust and ease, coupled with the confidence that their case is being handled with clarity, strategy and strength.
After building a successful solo practice, Ms. Burke joined a team led by a Board-Certified Marital and Family Law attorney, to elevate the level of service and guidance to individuals and families navigating divorce, paternity, financial division, alimony, modifications, enforcement, child support, and complex parenting issues.
A Florida Supreme Court Certified Family Mediator, Ms. Burke has mediated over one thousand (1,000) cases with a high degree of successful resolution. She also is a trained Parent Coordinator, and Guardian ad Litem, and has spent more than 20 years as a life coach guiding individuals though high-impact personal challenges.
Earlier in her career, Ms. Burke was a partner in a complex commercial and securities litigation firm, has worked alongside one of Florida’s most prominent family law attorneys, and served as a judicial intern to a United States Federal Judge. She holds a degree in Finance from the University of Florida and earned her J.D. from Nova Southeastern University.
Ms. Burke’s multi-faceted background provides a unique combination of emotional insight and legal acumen in her representation. She is skilled at helping clients move through difficult transitions without becoming derailed by stress, reactivity or past patterns while remaining a strong, principled, and effective advocate.
She currently serves as the co-editor of the Common Ground, a publication of the Alternative Dispute Resolution Section of The Florida Bar, and as the treasurer of the National Association of Divorce Professionals (Boca Raton Chapter). She is an active member of several professional organizations including the South County Bar Association and the Florida Association of Women Lawyers, and has served on several family law committees of the Family Section of the Florida Bar.
