T. Burd Law Group

Tara Burd was incredibly helpful to me, responded to my inquiry rapidly, and didn’t charge me a penny in the process.
Here’s some background. I went to the firm’s website and provided a description of the problem I was facing. Tara Burd reviewed the facts with her colleagues, including a particular wrinkle associated with my case. She concluded that I did not need legal representation at this time, but indicated under what circumstances I would be wise to seek counsel.

As a rule, I hate lawyers (doesn’t everybody?), so I found it refreshing when Tara answered the phone personally, and spent roughly 20 minutes of her presumably expensive time on the phone consulting with me about a beating I just took from a would be employer.
That beating, a verbal offer which simply evaporated the day before I was supposed to start, unfortunately does not seem to have any kind of legal remedy. How we can tolerate a legal landscape so blatantly tilted towards the interests of hiring parties and not the parties being hired and the lopsided math of «at will» employment aside, I was very appreciative of the professionalism and time taken by Tara to explain the legal aspects of the situation.

I was self represented in my small claims case, and wanted a second opinion when the Defendant wanted to file a Motion to Vacate the Judgment. Despite my amount of evidence to have the Motion denied, I was still hesitant the Defendant might use a sad story to sway the judge in their favor, so I went in for a consultation with Tara.
Tara was very professional, personable, and knew the legal field well. She reviewed my documents, and re-​assured me I had a solid case against the defendant. She printed out a section of the California Civil Code for me to use, and looked over my strategy to deny the motion. She calmed me down about worrying about the judge hearing a sad story from the Defendant, since it’s a common tactic, but is not as effective with solid evidence against it. When I showed up to the hearing, I stated my points, and the judge agreed with me, resulting in a denial of the motion! If I ever need legal advice again, I won’t have hesitate to contact Tara.

Tara is phenomenal. She’s informative, knowledgable and very personable. She uses language that isn’t overbearing over difficult to someone with limited law knowledge to understand. The legal points she made gave us the insight and confidence my wife and I needed to move forward without hesitation and we are so grateful we found Tara to help us in a crunch. I’ve already referred a colleague to her and will continue to. Even if I have follow up questions or thoughts to share with her, she’s responsive and doesn’t tag on extra bills. She legitimately cares about her clients and that’s not something you find everywhere.

Tara is the first person I think of when friends and family need the help of a lawyer. I have come to Tara with questions regarding unpaid overtime, independent contractors vs employees, and tenant rights. She has come through every time with solid answers and advice. She is excellent at explaining the details without talking down to you or over your head. I am always impressed by her ability to be professional and fun at the same time. When you meet with her, you will have an understanding that not only is she passionate about what she does, but she really cares about delivering the best results possible for her clients.
Trust Tara; she’s always awesome and never disappoints!

I consulted with Tara to review a separation agreement from a recent employer. Tara is very prompt and professional in her correspondences with me, and in person she is warm, affable, and approachable.
She thoroughly outlined the key legal points by walking me through the whole agreement and provided excellent insight and advice related to any questions I presented.
I recommend Tara many times over, and will certainly be engaging with her for any future legal concerns.

My business partner and I sought the legal services of Tara Burd recently, to work to resolve a matter we had with a large firm in San Diego. Tara was completely astute and on point from our initial consultation until the final resolve — which wrapped up quickly because of her knowledge and ease with the practice of law.
We found ourselves up against a large organization that was giving us the run-​around while delivering inaccuracies when stating their position. Tara arranged to hold a negotiation with both parties. Tara then took control of the negotiation and both parties agreed in a result that we are extremely pleased with.
Tara delivered a written statement to the opposing party that connected facts and pointed to nuances that they would not have liked to face in a court of law which compelled them to come closer to meeting our terms.
I am the CEO of my Company and appreciate Tara’s work and would highly recommend her if you find yourself needing a great lawyer. It can be highly stressful when you find yourself in such a position. So if you need an excellent lawyer who returns calls and e-​mails promptly; someone who digs in deeper to work hard on your behalf call Tara Burd she gets it done!

Tara came through for me when I was laid off and needed a review of my separation agreement. She was kind, thoughtful, quick, and thorough. I am so happy to have found her on Unilocal,and she has my highest recommendation. If you need a legal opinion, try Tara. She’s pretty fabulous.

I have known Tara for nearly 10 years and wouldn’t hesitate for a minute to recommend to her to friends and family in need of a lawyer. So when my unemployment was denied, she was the first person I thought to contact. Within minutes, Tara called me back and arranged a time to assist me with my appeal letter. She was professional, attentive, and gave excellent advice. The letter she assisted me with was phenomenal. Her accolades do not give her justice, you have to contact her to see just how amazing she is. In terms of attorneys, Tara is a force to be reckoned with. Highly, highly recommend.
***Update****
Due to Taras diligence and hard work, I won my case. She calmed me down explaining that the in person hearing wouldn’t be as bad as I thought it would. Her assistance through this process made going through a stressful time so much better. I am so grateful for her help!

Tara took on a very tough case for my company and did an outstanding job. Her thorough research and attention to detail really made a big difference.

Tara Burd Esq. legal services have provided the support, clear objectives, and timely response to an issue on a rental property. I’m very please with her creativity, attention to detail and the results. Her forensic education is evident in her attention to detail. Great value and excellent work!

Tara came highly recommended from one of my staff member. We needed her services to represent us for a commercial lease. Her professionalism, integrity, and candor was greatly appreciated. Her rates were extremely fair. We wouldn’t hesitate to utilize her services in the future and I highly recommend Tara to anyone in need of sound legal advise.

I could not be any happier with the service I received from Tara! I own a small business and was in need of some help with my lease agreement. She was extremely professional and got back with me right away with any questions or concerns that I had.
I, too, appreciated the fair rate that she had given me since I am a small business and do not have a large budget set aside for legal issues.
I would totally recommend Tara to anyone in need of sound legal advice and help with their small business concerns. Thank you!

I used this law office to draft a software license agreement for my new software company back in December. I was really happy with the job they did and how well they followed the parameters I gave them… but I was most happy with the rates and overall value — both extremely important to my startup co.
I would definitely use this law office again should the need arise.
