VP

I retained Brent’s services when transitioning my Business from a firm I had been with for over 30 years. And then again a few years later, because when you have questions, you need someone who represents you, and your interests. Not the firm. Brent was worth every penny, ten times over. It’s nice... to know someone truly has your back.

Highly Recommend

I first hired Brent to help me review my contract when I moved my practice from a regional brokerage firm to a wirehouse. I am a million dollar + producer and this was my first and only move. Brent came highly recommended from a colleague and after working with him and seeing the value he brought, I... cannot believe that there are advisors who make moves between firms without using an attorney. Brent listens, pays attention to detail, is professional, and has the knowledge and confidence needed to put my mind at ease. As soon as I mentioned the firm I was considering moving to, Brent informed me that he was very familiar with the firm's contract. I was so pleased with his work that I hired him again recently to assist me in writing a letter. I highly recommend using Brent Burns.

Best in the Business

I knew after my first call to Brent Burns, i may have just found the best securities litigation attorney in the business. My case was extremely complicated involving several contracts and agreements, and had many , many details. Brent was so excellent at getting to the facts, keeping the case on tr...ack , and had a sixth sense on the big picture of the my case. Brent has integrity, which is what I needed after realizing my ex-partners, and ex-employer had none. I was going up against deep corporate pockets, which included a large high priced law firm. Brent was not intiminated in the least, and quickly gained respect from opposing counsel as well as FINRA because of his extensive knowledge of the securities industry, contracts, as well as , his professionalism. I would recommend Brent Burns to anyone who has been wronged and needs the best attorney to have a fighting chance at justice.

A great lawyer for employment matters

I hired Brent to assist me in reviewing my severance agreement and drafting language to protect me. Brent was very professional and knowledgable in this subject matter and delivered a document that was fair both to me and my firm. I would recommend anyone who had any employment matters to use his s...ervices.
