Ofc. James Burke, Warren Police

To Whom It May Concern,

My name is James Burke, and I am writing to offer my highest recommendation for Marc Curtis and the team at Defender of the Blue.

I was introduced to Marc on September 30, 2024, after I was involved in a critical incident involving a motor vehicle crash while on duty. I was Marc’s client for just under two years, and during that time I experienced firsthand the integrity, professionalism, and dedication that he and his team bring to every client they represent. I was charged with two counts of manslaughter with a motor vehicle, plus a moving violation causing serious injury and neglect of duty as a public officer.

Throughout my case, Marc consistently demonstrated exceptional legal knowledge and a genuine commitment to helping others through some of the most difficult moments of their lives. Whether he was handling complex legal matters or providing guidance and reassurance, he approached every situation with diligence, compassion, and respect.

One of the qualities that stood out most was his understanding of legal matters from a law enforcement perspective as well. His knowledge gave me confidence that every aspect of my case would be carefully evaluated and effectively explained. He also sought out and retained highly qualified experts in their respective fields, whose testimony provided credible, fact-based evidence that strengthened my case.

In addition to his legal abilities, Marc possesses outstanding personal character. He is honest, dependable, ethical, and truly cares about the people he represents. I had complete confidence in him throughout my case because he earned my trust from the very beginning. He was always available to answer my questions, took the time to explain every option available to me, and made sure I fully understood what each decision meant. His communication and constant support gave me confidence during
an incredibly difficult time.

Without hesitation, I wholeheartedly recommend Marc Curtis. He demonstrates the highest standards of the legal profession, and I am confident he will continue to make a positive impact on the lives of those he represents. His passion for his work and his commitment to his clients is truly remarkable.

Thanks to Defender of the Blue’s thorough preparation, commitment to the case, and strong defense, we achieved a not guilty verdict on all four counts I was charged with.

If you have any questions regarding my experience working with Marc and the team at Defender of the Blue, please feel free to contact me. It is difficult to put into words the amount of gratitude and appreciation I have for everything they did for me, and I will
always be thankful for their guidance, support, and dedication.

Sincerely,

James Burke
