Cecelia Burke

Associate

CRIMINAL DEFENSE ATTORNEY

I completed my Bachelor of Arts Degree in Criminal Justice and Spanish at the University of Wisconsin- Eau Claire. During my time in Eau Claire, I interned with the Wisconsin Public Defender’s Office and immediately became enthralled with criminal defense. Upon graduation, I took a year off to work in real estate and returned to law school with a passion for justice. I joined Meshbesher & Associates as a law clerk in 2022 and eagerly remained as an associate attorney.

In both my personal and professional life, I strongly believe in being a well-rounded individual. Having worked in different areas of practice including civil rights litigation, criminal prosecution and criminal public defense, I understand how injustice can affect a person’s everyday life.

“Speak softly and carry a big stick” is how I strive to practice. I listen and come prepared for anything. If you want an attorney that fiercely advocates for your best interests, call our office for a free consultation.
