Client

Prior to hiring Justin Burns, I had met with a few other attorneys for an initial consultation to discuss my situation. It was during my initial consultation meeting with Justin that I realized I found the right attorney to represent me. I was very impressed with all the time and research he had co...nducted prior to us even having our first consultation meeting and before being hired. That meant a lot to me as a potential client. Justin was very well prepared to discuss my case and had even found additional information that I wasn’t aware of at the time. My case consisted of many different claims and Justin was able to present my claims and formulate an offense for each and every one of my claims. During the 3 years of working with Justin, I found him to be very professional, knowledgeable, and well prepared at all times especially for each and every deposition we were involved with. Justin also kept me well informed of any and all happenings that took place throughout the process. He was readily available to accept and/or return my telephone calls or emails in a timely manner which I found to be very satisfying and comforting since this was a very stressful time for me. It was also nice to know that Justin believed in me from day one and wanted justice for me just as much as I did and wasn't just working for the money. I always had the utmost confidence in Justin and his representation of me throughout the entire matter. Justin and his team of partners were right on top of this matter throughout and gave me 100 % all the time. Because of all of his hard work and dedication he provided me, we were able to settle this case out of court. But, I would have like to seen him in court for the trial. While my case did end well for me, even if it hadn’t I still would have been very happy with Justin and his team of partners for all their hard work and dedication they provided me regarding my matter. Thanks Justin! MS 12-5-20

Excellent

Justin Burns was a member of a team of attorneys that expertly managed my case through almost 10 years of litigation involving Trial Court, the Appellate Division, the NJ Supreme Court and back to Trial Court. It was very complicated and Justin and the team came to have an excellent understanding of... the issues. His knowledge of case law and ability to identify existing precedent were outstanding. In Court he was confident, spoke energetically and had a significant presence.

  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
