He is an experienced family law attorney who is known in the family law community for his superior knowledge of family law issues. While he attempts to resolve his cases through settlement whenever possible, Mr. Burch understands that some cases require litigation.

Mr. Burch has practiced exclusively in family law for his entire career and has handled all types of family law matters.

Mr. Burch also focuses on child custody matters and has litigated several international custody cases. Mr. Burch was one of the primary attorneys in the well-publicized international custody case described by the media as the "Baby Santina case." In the "Baby Santina" case, Mr. Burch and his co-counsel defeated a team of four attorneys led by Gloria Allred.

Mr. Burch is active in numerous local and nationwide legal associations as well as his church and child's school. He has also authored several articles on family law issues that have appeared in the Los Angeles Daily Journal, the premier legal newspaper circulated in Los Angeles and Orange County.
