I have never done this before (rate services/people) but I have to do this for this guy to maybe help somebody from falling into the same hell i fell in...here is what happened to me...this guy filed my case...Told me to keep paying my wife’s bills (who did nothing but got herself fired from her job)... and then basically forgot about the case until i asked him 6 months later. This was a simple case of a 6 year marriage with no kids and no assets involved. So upon my inquiry, he draws up a draft agreement which basically was asking me to pay half of my salary to my wife for 2 years who has more education then i have without even looking at her discovery and with no conditions which would encourage her to standup on her own feet. In fact, the alimony amount was so ridiculous, that she would be earning more than I would have left between my alimony payments and her unemployment… I had to tell him about several syntax mistakes in his draft which was simply a joke and favored so my wife so heavily that everybody I spoke with said, he is working with her lawyer and I should switch…When i complained and said i was going to switch lawyers he said he wanted to fix it and “make me happy” so I gave him another chance and then he proceeded to royally screw me. He finally gives me my wife’s discovery which was filled with stuff which either I was paying or she had in there to try and get everything out of me or was simple lies. When I said, she needed to get it fixed; he told me that he was going to send them a letter to get it fixed before drawing up any other draft. I asked him a week later and he told me he had changed “strategy” and had sent in a draft to her attorney WITHOUT BOTHERING TO TELL ME OR EVEN NOTIFYING ME about it...I still have not even seen the draft that he sent out!! And my wife and her attorney have!. i was stunned and then within half an hour of my response to him that this was insane that he was making moves without even telling me about it or even notifying me, I receive an e-mail from his secretary that I had an appointment in two days! When I complained again he decided to dump me…So right now I have an appointment in two days and I don’t have an attorney…I don’t even KNOW where this appointment is as his secretary just mentioned the time and date and I am left scrambling for a replacement lawyer and I have just one working day to do something before I have to go in to the unknown place for a “status conference”. Furthermore, to try and ensure that I am really screwed, he is telling me he is not going to give me a copy of my file until he sees a “rescheduled appearance” whatever that means….Please do not use him…this is already as stressful as it is and he has made sure he really makes it miserable for me…

Attorney Burns handled three legal matters for me. One is still pending but I don't expect any bumps. This was family issue (divorce). Bill not only knows the law but interacts with his clients in a very persoable way. He is generally reachable (sans when in court) and thinks of inovative ways to... settle his cases.

Attorney Bill Burns represented me in my custody case last year. Throughout the case Bill was outstanding. He was always there when I had any questions and he always explained everything in such a way that I understood the processes that were taking place. I felt that Bill was vested in my case an...d was at my side throughout. It was reassuring to know he was my representation and he never let me down. I would not have achieved the outcome of my case without Attorney Burns and I know that few other attorneys out there would have followed through on it the way he did. I now have custody of my daughter and we love it. To keep it short I highly recommend Attorney Burns and would urge anyone to consider him as their representation. I've told all my friends and family about my positive experience with Attorney Burns and recommended him to all of them. Nate
