Highly Recommend

I honestly cannot say enough good things about Matthew Burns. I was put in a really stressful and overwhelming situation and he stepped in at the very last minute when I truly needed someone in my corner. From the moment he took my case, he made me feel like I wasn’t alone and that someone was actual...ly fighting for me. He took the time to listen to everything, answer my questions, and explain things in a way that made me feel more comfortable and confident. He went into court prepared and handled everything with professionalism and confidence, and he was able to get my case resolved in my favor. It was such a huge relief. What I appreciate most about Matthew is that he genuinely cares. He has always been responsive, prompt, and willing to take time out of his day to help me, even with everything else he has going on. He doesn’t make you feel like just another case, he makes you feel heard and supported. He is also continuing to represent me with another matter involving the same person, and I feel very fortunate to have him on my side. Having someone who is knowledgeable, dedicated, and truly willing to stand up for you means so much when you’re going through something difficult. Thank you so kindly, Matthew, for everything you’ve done for me and for the time, effort, and care you’ve put into helping me. I truly appreciate you and would recommend you to anyone who needs an attorney they can trust.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • 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.
