Cynthia M. Burke has been a lawyer since 1997. She began her legal career working for the AV rated firm of MacKay, Wrynn and Brady in Queens, New York where she honed her legal skills and gained substantial experience in the areas of real estate law, bankruptcy, estates and trusts, and litigation.
Ms. Burke established her private practice in 2005, and focuses her legal work on real estate transactions, bankruptcy, estate planning and administration, probate, uncontested divorce and litigation matters.
In August of 2006, Cynthia Burke took over cases from J. J. Serota, who retired from the practice of law. Ms. Burke is pleased to be handling matters for attorney Serota’s former clients. If you were one of his clients, and have any questions, she will be happy to help in any way possible.
