An Excellent Attorney and Highly Recommend!
Mr. Burns did a fantastic job for me in my Worker's Compensation case. When I was injured I had no idea what to do, and he immediately put me at ease. He and his firm always kept me up-to-date. Towards the end of my case before settlement he even gave me his personal cell number! The settleme...
"Frank is an extremely experienced and accomplished attorney who obtains positive results for his clients."
"J. Franklin stands out as a leader in the practice of Worker’s Compensation, Personal Injury, and Employee Discrimination law. Still extremely active in the law community, he frequently speaks at worker’s compensation seminars, sharing his knowledge about common injuries in the workplace. In 2010, Mr. Burns was appointed by the Chairman to join the Legislative Committee of the Advisory Council. The Legislative Committee represents all stakeholders in the workers' compensation system, and composes workers' compensation laws for the State of Georgia. This honor shows the high esteem we all hold for him within the law community. I lend J. Franklin Burns my personal endorsement."
"During my years as a defense attorney I had the opportunity to have a number of cases against Frank and his firm. Frank handles all cases in an extremely professional manner and this approach gets Frank's clients the best results possible."
"I endorse J. Burns. He is a highly skilled attorney that is well respected in the legal community."
"Frank is an experienced attorney who has shown himself to be an excellent advocate for his clients and their interests. I would recommend Frank and his firm to workers' compensation clients without any reservation."
"I strongly endorse this lawyer. Frank is simply one of the best workers' compensation attorneys in the State of Georgia. He understands the most complex and difficult issues which arise in workers' compensation cases. In addition, his prior background as a defense attorney provides him with an excellent understanding of the strategies of the insurance carriers. I have regularly referred workers' compensation cases to Frank and the results have been outstanding. I would encourage anyone with a workers' compensation case to contact Frank."
