About the Firm
One lawyer. One mission. A practice built around cases worth fighting and a commitment to actually fighting them.
One Lawyer.
One Standard.
Marc A. Burton carries forward the practice his father Richard J. Burton founded in 1982.
The practice that exists today is the product of deliberate choices: which cases to accept, which clients to serve, and what it actually means to commit to a matter rather than manage it toward the path of least resistance.
The combination of political law and civil litigation that defines this firm is not an accident. Political work demands precision under pressure — the kind of adversarial environment where the rules are real and the stakes are immediate. That discipline runs through every case Marc takes, whether it involves a defamation claim, an employment dispute, or a commercial matter gone wrong.
When you retain this firm, you work with Marc. Not a partner who delegates to an associate. Every call, every hearing, every decision.
Cases are accepted with the intention of litigating them. If you want someone to send a strongly-worded letter and see what happens, this is probably not the right fit.
Every matter is evaluated for legal merit and practical collectability before being accepted. We turn cases down. That makes the ones we take mean something.
