Her client was accused of murdering a 5-year-old kid. But that didnt stop LaTonya Burton, criminal defense attorney, from stepping to her clients side in the courtroom. They will be looking at me -- not you, she assured the troubled woman. I will take the heat.
I am able to see past what the crime is, or alleged crime, to see the person, Burton says. Lawyers can be the most important part of getting your freedom and liberty back.
Burton, a partner with Bur-Men Law Group, was the first African-American public defender in Lake County, Illinois. Now in private practice alongside partner Renea Amen, the firm focuses on criminal law, civil law and family law, with a special emphasis on fathers rights.
Burton is bold, passionate and unapologetic about standing up and speaking out for her clients rights. She talks to us about her Pivotal Moment, a letter she penned to God and the phone call that came immediately after.
Burton shares her insight about standing beside those who society leaves behind and the rewards of defending those who need it most.
