The Burke Law Group is a Fredericton law firm at 150 Cliffe Street, Suite R6, serving clients from individuals and unions up to international companies. Its practice areas span criminal defence, family law, civil litigation, personal injury, labour and employment, corporate and commercial matters, property, and wills and estates, making it a full-service option rather than a single-specialty shop. The firm was founded by Thomas J. Burke, K.C., a former Minister of Justice and Attorney General for New Brunswick, whose own practice centres on criminal law and labour and employment work. The bench behind him is deep for a firm this size: Ronald E. Morris, K.C. brings more than forty years of criminal defence experience, partner Jennifer M. Ingram handles litigation and family files, and Emily A. Cochrane practices criminal defence while teaching at UNB's law school. Several newer associates cover family law, wills and estates, property, and criminal matters, so files get matched to a lawyer at the right level. Criminal defence is the area the firm is best known for locally, and client reviews consistently mention professionalism and steady guidance through stressful files. On fees, the firm bills hourly but takes certain cases on contingency; its own site puts it plainly: "we do not get paid unless you get paid." If you are shopping for representation, that contingency option is worth asking about up front for personal injury and similar claims, since it changes the math on whether pursuing a case makes sense.
