The fundamental qualities for good execution of a plan is first; intelligence
                                       Ferdinand Foch, French military theorist, (1851-1929)

Tonya Frazier Burleson    
The firm’s founder was admitted to the Alabama State Bar in 1990 after graduating from Cumberland School of Law at Samford University in Birmingham, Alabama.  Ms. Burleson’s background is evidence of the uncommon level of intelligence that she brings to the practice of law.  Not only did Ms. Burleson graduate from high school in 1984 as valedictorian of her class, but she did so at the unusually young age of fifteen (15).  She then attained a Bachelor of Science degree from top-ranked Birmingham-Southern College with a double major in accounting and mathematics.  In 1987, at the age of nineteen (19), Ms. Burleson graduated summa cum laude from BSC and was honored to be chosen for membership in Phi Beta Kappa.  In May 1990, she then earned her Juris Doctor decree from Cumberland School of Law where she was a member of the American Journal of Trial Advocacy.  Cumberland's motto is "Seek wisdom to temper justice with compassion."  Ms. Burleson was then admitted to the Alabama State Bar in October of 1990 at the age of twenty-two (22).  Ms. Burleson originally opened a general practice under the name “Tonya Frazier Burleson, Attorney at Law.”  She later limited her practice to divorce/family law and dui defense.  More recently, the name of the office was changed to “The Burleson Firm” to more accurately reflect the current vision and direction of the firm.  Ms. Burleson is currently a member of the Family Law Section of the Alabama State Bar.
