Aubrey Burton Jr.

Attorney Burton saved the day. My children's father obtained a temporary protective order against me on false pretenses, and had me served right before Easter. I was put out of the house and he had custody of the kids. No other attorney's would return my call, except Mr. Burton. Mr. Burton met wit...h me on a Saturday and immediately calmed my nerves. He not only explained the process but he also prepared me for trial by going over testimony, making sure that I had necessary evidence, and necessary witnesses. Needless to say, Attorney Burton won the case (on a Motion for Judgment) and I didn't even need to testify! The look on my children's father's face and my children's father's attorney's face was priceless! He is great!

I used Mr. Burton for my divorce proceeding and to draw up a separation agreement. Mr. Burton's mannerism was definitely professional be he should really consider the professional manner of his staff as a reflection on him. Simple requests were not understood by his staff and the messages from his ...staff were not professionally relayed. As an attorney, Mr. Burton was acceptable. My main issue was the lack of a response. It would take literally weeks before you would get a response to emails or phone calls. Working in the legal field, I can understand how attorneys can be overwhelmed but you can rest assure them invoices were timely. My case was simple as both sides were in agreement before Mr. Burton was hired. One would think this made the case cut and dry. It dragged on for an extended period because of lack of response. I would not say Mr. Burton is a bad attorney but he should definitely consider his response time. A friend asked for a referral and due to the unresponsiveness from the Burton firm, I was very hesitant to pass along his information. It's unfortunate, but clients don't like to chase their lawyers down when they are spending hundreds of dollars an hour. But keep in mind, any response you get will cost you -- forget about your time (you don't get paid for the time spend chasing him down). Would I like to recommend Mr. Burton YES but unfortunately I can't under these circumstances. Hopefully Mr. Burton will work on that part of his business and I wish him much success in the future.

I concur with the negative reviews. Initially this firm had high ratings but after everything was done, the only thing that happened was consistent billing of no actual work being performed: --wouldn’t return calls, -- wouldn’t read court correspondence with actionable items being requested -- never ...filed for discovery -- didn’t proofread any documentation requiring clients signature; if corrections to documents are returned, he would never correct them & duplicated errored documents would be sent to you again at later date with the exact same errors. -- He will sympathize and agree to proceeding in the way you want a case to go and then after he gets your money…he proceeds as he wants w/o your consent. -- He’s a “settlement” lawyer. He wants the easiest way to settle your case against your wishes & behind your back. -- I don’t know when this lawyer stopped being great but I would urge you to look elsewhere for counsel and pay more for quality service that everyone is entitled too.
