I retained the law office of John Burns about 6 months ago. I was fighting back and forth about leaving a review, but decided it was a good decision to do so. That way, no one falls into the trap that I did.

I chose Mr. burns based on a Google search. I was initially happy with my decision. But, my mind was swayed VERY shortly after meeting with him.

Mr. Burns did not listen to my wishes as a client, and decided he would try and win something that was easier than what I wanted, which deducted from my retainer quickly. I was later asked to sign some release papers for a few things. There were sections missed on the papers 3 times. I had to come back into his office and sign them each time, because his office continued to made mistakes. I was then billed for these mistakes, and money was deducted out of my retainer. He then decided to play a game with the opposing attorney, of a back and forth email correspondence which also ate away at the initial $2500. I ran out of the retainer VERY quickly, and did not have the means to pay any more.

Long story short, I would NOT recommend the Law Office of John Burns to anyone seeking legal counsel.

I was first recommended to John by a family member that had utilized John's services.. I initially retained John Burns for a custody case three years ago and continue to use him when needed; I have been extremely happy with his work! John has been knowledgeable, well-spoken, and has a strong court presence. John also prepared me for the realities of court and realistic expectations I should have. He clearly has a proficient understanding of custody laws and he is very skilled in all aspects of the court process, from writing motions, to stipulating agreements and arguing at a hearing. I wouldn't trust anyone else with the most important thing in my life, custody, the safety and well-being of my children.
