Unprofessional

**DO NOT HIRE THIS LOSER** He consistently drops the ball! He abandons you in court! He seems to have a standard excuse, "I am in court", which he uses to avoid taking responsibility for his actions! Brandon Burrell chased me down for my family's money, calling and texting me several times in... one week to retain him. When we finally gathered our hard-earned money to pay him, he abandoned my brother on his court date on September 23rd, 2024! Then, he didn't apologize for his absences; he gave excuses. He needs to communicate about his calendar and availability. When my family decided to move forward in hopes he would do better, he abandoned my brother AGAIN!!! He said that he would visit his client in DC Jail, and as the day went by, I contacted Brandon via email and text message to confirm his status of seeing my brother. This wrinkled suit little man calls me and starts yelling at me because I would not accept his excuses of him saying, "I don't know, I am in court." As an attorney, you must properly communicate with your client. Do not. Keep people from guessing your whereabouts. This man played in our faces and wasted our time. Brandon Burrell will receive his karma.

The BEST

Mr . Burrell is literally one of the best lawyers I’ve ever had . I’ve had a lot of lawyers in my time and he’s been the best lawyer so far .He’s so informative . I was able to get all the advice I needed whenever because he would respond so quickly. He looked at all possible scenarios and let it be ...know that’s he would go for the best possible outcome. Not only that, he truly does the leg work for you, all you have to do is listen and he takes care of the rest. I would recommend him to anyone needing legal counsel!

Unprofessional Not for the People

Mr.Burrell was hired to represent me on a criminal case. Mr.Burrell was very unprofessional and very unprepared. Mr.Burrell doesn’t like to provide details in your case nor will he consider your concerns or inquiries in your case. I must personally say I wouldn’t recommend Mr.Burrell to represent you...r case.

Best Lawyer And Advice Giver I Know!!!

Mr. Burrell was my designated public defender back in 2018 and he fought for me in every way possible. The charges that were brought against were completely false and Mr. Burrell did EVERYTHING in his power to get me released from a holding cell and also told me to send him everything that would help... this case get dismissed when I was released. He fought for me tooth and nail during this case and got me free of the charges. From that day forward I knew I had a friend and attorney for life. He is the best advice giver and keeps me level-headed even when I think things aren’t going to go as planned. Mr. Burrell needs all the accolades and awards for the services he provided to not only me, but to anyone he has helped over the course of his career.

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I worked with Attorney Burrell on a criminal Jury trial. I needed an attorney to assist me in a Pro Hac matter on short notice. When I first contacted Mr. Burrell he was responsive and extremely helpful. I knew I could trust him as co-counsel. He was just as passionate about the case as I was which made for extensive strategy discussions. We shared duties in preparing and trying the case. At the end, the jury acquitted out client who was originally facing charges of attempted murder of a police officer. Definitely a highlight of my career! I highly recommend his services!"
