Executor - Settling Estate

As the Executor of my father's estate, Michael Burns kept me sane during the two year Estate Settling. He was always responsive as he guided me through my father's estate. Working with both my accountant and the partnerships, his knowledge and direction made a very stressful time much easier with h...is constant communication and knowledge. I am highly recommending him!

Probate Lawyer

Michael provided personal, trustworthy, and accurate probate counsel in an efficient manner. Throughout the entire probate process we had an open line of communication with clear timelines and regular progress updates. Our family would recommend his services to anyone.

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.
