When life takes an unexpected turn, you don’t have to figure it out alone. As a trusted Los Angeles Family Attorney, The Law Offices of Michael D. Burt provides the calm, step-by-step guidance you need to protect what matters most and move forward with confidence.
Facing a divorce or a custody issue is one of the most stressful experiences a person can go through. It is completely normal to feel anxious about your children, your finances, and your future. But you do not have to carry this heavy burden by yourself.
As experienced Los Angeles Divorce Attorneys, our goal is to take the weight off your shoulders. We will sit down with you, listen to your story, and answer your questions in plain English. Together, we will explore your options and find a path forward that brings peace of mind to you and your family.
We want you to feel comfortable before making any big decisions. We offer a complimentary initial consultation to discuss your situation and outline a clear path forward—with no pressure and no obligation.
We believe in honest advice, not empty promises. We will give you a realistic assessment of your case and guide you with transparency at every single step, so you always know what to expect.
Every family is unique, and your legal strategy should be, too. We prioritize collaborative, lower-conflict solutions whenever possible to save you time, money, and emotional strain.
With deep experience in California family law, we bring sharp legal insight to every case. We handle the complex legal details so you can focus on healing and rebuilding your life.
There is no single “right” way to divorce. We help you find the best option for your unique situation.
When people think of divorce, they often picture a bitter courtroom battle. However, that is rarely the only choice. We will help you understand all of your options so you can choose a route that protects your well-being, your finances, and your children.
Focused guidance for life’s most challenging transitions.
Untangling a life together is complicated. We help you navigate property division, spousal support, and the entire divorce process with dignity, ensuring your financial and emotional well-being are protected.
Your children are your priority, and they are ours, too. We work to establish fair, stable parenting plans that shield your kids from conflict and foster healthy, secure relationships for the future.
Life changes, and sometimes your legal agreements need to change with it. We can help you update child support, custody, or spousal support orders to accurately reflect your family’s current reality.
Courtrooms are rarely the best place to resolve family matters. We offer mediation services to help you and your spouse reach a private, mutually beneficial agreement respectfully and outside of court.

I was recommended Michael Burt to me for my current case, and I’m so glad I reached out to him. With his support, I’ve felt more heard and understood in court. While I know there are still challenges ahead, Mr. Burt has made the process much easier and far less stressful. I highly recommend him to anyone facing tough times in court. I’ve realized that judges often don’t truly listen unless you have strong representation. If you want a great attorney by your side, choose Michael Burt!
