– Client (sexual harassment case)
Steve was the first attorney who truly took the time to thoroughly review my case before agreeing to represent me, and that alone set him apart. His attention to detail and willingness to listen made me feel confident and supported from the very beginning. Throughout the process, he communicated clearly, treated my case with care, and helped me navigate a very personal legal situation with professionalism and compassion. I’m grateful for his guidance and would highly recommend him to anyone seeking thoughtful, strategic representation.

Facing discrimination based on sexual orientation was one of the most difficult experiences of my life, but from the moment I sought legal counsel, I knew I had an advocate who would fight for justice with an unmatched level of skill, passion, and tenacity. My attorney’s unwavering commitment to my case was not just professional—it was personal. He poured countless hours into researching every legal avenue, dissecting every detail, and crafting a strategy so airtight that it left no room for injustice to prevail. His ability to anticipate every argument, counter every challenge, and present my case with such precision and force was nothing short of masterful.
But what truly sets him apart is not just his brilliance in the courtroom—it’s his relentless dedication to his clients. He was there for every phone call, every late-night discussion, and every moment when I needed reassurance that I was not alone in this fight. He did not just represent me; he empowered me. His ability to translate the complexities of the law into a clear, strategic path forward gave me hope when I felt powerless. He fought for my dignity, my rights, and for the principle that no one should ever be subjected to discrimination.
This is the kind of attorney that history remembers—the kind of advocate who doesn’t just win cases, but changes lives. If justice is the foundation of our legal system, then he is its most steadfast guardian. For anyone who has ever felt unheard, unseen, or powerless against injustice, know this: with him in your corner, the fight is not just fair—it is formidable.

I have been an industry professional for over 25 years. Recently, I had the unthinkable happen to me. In the workplace, I experienced verbal and sexual harassment, sexual battery, and was humiliated in front of my organization by the person in charge of the business.
After attempts to resolve on my own were overlooked by the company I worked for, I reached out to Steve. While the story I presented seemed far-fetched, he listened, he empathized, and he was angry along with me. We discussed my options, and how difficult it might be to win if I proceeded with a complaint. I knew exactly what I would be getting myself into and knew I had Steve’s full support if I moved forward.
Needless to say, Steve had my back the entire way and I’m happy to say I stood up for myself and what is right. Steve gave me the support and the validation I needed to know what I experienced was not appropriate and was actionable, even if the company chose not to recognize it.
As an long-time industry professional, you know what isn’t right, and what has to be done. It’s not always easy to challenge a business. But I did, with Steve’s help, and I’m happy to say we prevailed.
I can’t say enough about Steve and his care and concern for me through this process. He is very professional, and I felt like I was the only case he had the whole time we worked together, even though I know I was not. If you are in need of someone who will support you through a difficult situation, Steve is your guy!
I hope this is helpful to you and again, I can’t thank you enough for believing me when I called upon you for the first time.

From A.L., client in a sexual harrassment case:
I would recommend Stephen Burgoon to anyone looking for legal services. He was extremely knowledgeable, an effective communicator, and kept me informed during each step of the process. From my first phone call, he took the time to listen and answer all of my questions. During a difficult time, he gave me the confidence I needed to follow through. His passion for helping others was highly evident. I can’t say thank you enough!
I found myself in a legal nightmare beyond anyone’s comprehension that suddenly threaten my civil rights. It threatened my spouse and my children, as well as my health. I was facing a civil legal threat that was not only existential but extremely complex and multijurisdictional. No matter what the outcome, it would amount to a Pyrrhic legal conflict. It rapidly escalated and broadly reached across various venues, states, counties, circuit courts, district courts, federal courts, bankruptcy courts, appeals courts, and state supreme courts.
I simply could not grasp the breadth of the legal threat to my civil rights, but I knew that I required a dynamic and experienced lawyer who would have the strong will to fight. I needed someone who would not abandon me halfway. It required the most experienced legal defense, an avant-garde legal perspective, a moral fortitude, an inner strength, and above all the most zealous advocacy. It required an attorney at the zenith of their career.
I certainly did not find that legal representation in the large law firm with the big name. I found that legal representation in a dynamic sole practitioner, Stephen S. Burgoon. What I eventually discovered was that this sole practitioner takes on the big law firms and he wins! He simply does not back down from anyone to zealously advocate for his client.
I never read his past reviews, until I wrote this one. The common theme is fantastically similar in review after review – his fight for justice, skill, passion, tenacity, hours of legal research, and his experience in the court room. All true of his representation for my case. He professionally represented me through several courts in front of several judges under the most contentious situations which would trip up many attorneys. More importantly, Mr. Burgoon possesses a strategic legal mindset. He immediately conceptualizes the legal course forward. He is well-honed to be proactive and reactive, all at the correct time.
But with my case, the legal threat to my civil rights were profound. The complexities were mind boggling beyond the pale. The threat was not only to me but to the judicial system itself. It required a legal response that most attorneys would even begin to know how to respond. His case law research and legal analysis to prepare motions was impeccable. He knows the law well and he has a brilliant legal mind.
In defending my civil rights, Mr. Burgoon endured a constant barrage of threats. Oddly, one of my adversary’s primary objectives was to disrupt my attorney’s ability to advocate for me. Never once over the years of countless attacks and intimidation did Mr. Burgoon ever flinch in his steadfast advocacy. His experience and steady hand guided the legal way forward.
During my long career, I have dealt with many attorneys. Most follow a lower due diligence standard for client advocacy, and not the historical ABA required “zealous advocacy” standard. From my vast experience working with many attorneys, Stephen Burgoon is the best and he is at the apex of legal career. He will be your zealous advocate.
Client Testimonial from serious personal injury client:
Dear Steve:
We would like to say thank you for all the help that you were to us after the very serious car accident. Also, for all the hard work that you did working with all the parties involved to get the case settled. We both have said that we couldn’t have done it without you!
You were very knowledgeable about all the complications that came up; and you knew more than the lawyers for the big insurance companies about some of the challenges involved in this case.
We always felt safe with you handling the case for us; and we knew that you would do all that you were able to do for us at all times. It was so comforting to have a lawyer on our side that we could trust and who is so compassionate. From the very first time that I met with you (without my husband because he was still in the hospital and we were not sure he would survive) you let us know you would take care of things. We can’t thank you enough for getting us through all the legal stuff, and helping us to get through all that we had to deal with. We definitely will and have recommended you to others.
From corporate client LF regarding employee relations case:
I want to thank you so much. You gave me the confidence to do this and I am so thankful for that. It is not often that you find someone that is so truly into helping you and not just because it’s their job. I can feel that you have a passion for helping people and you really know your stuff. So knowledgeable and professional, I would and will recommend you to anyone needing assistance!
