Free Consultation
During the course of my career I have worked for high volume firms. The high volume of cases that we routinely managed provided me with exposure to many different issues and the ability to think outside of the box. We represented thousands of clients and genuinely helped them with their legal problems. In addition to the areas of practice that I now pursue, I have in the past done divorce/equitable distribution, real estate transactions and personal injury/wrongful death litigation.
I believe that it is important to identify the needs of my clients. It isn't just a job when I represent someone. I want my clients to know that I did my best for them because I know how their legal problems affect them. I want them to know that based on their own personal situation, I did for them exactly what I would have wanted to have been done for me by my lawyer.
In my office we make it our mission to keep clients well-informed about their cases, both with what we have done and what we are doing for them.

As an out-of-state driver in need of legal services, Attorney Burns and his paralegals were wonderful to work with.
