Exceptional Last-Minute Support During a Stressful Tenant Dispute

I cannot thank Lisa Burris enough for the incredible support she provided during a highly stressful situation. I had a tenant who unlawfully terminated his lease without notice, leaving me in a bind. With very little time to resolve the issue, I reached out to Lisa, and she immediately stepped in to ...help. Despite the last-minute nature of my request, Lisa handled everything with the utmost professionalism and efficiency. She thoroughly explained my legal options, helped me navigate the complexities of the situation, and took swift action to protect my rights. Her expertise and calm demeanor were exactly what I needed during such a challenging time. Thanks to Lisa's guidance, I was able to resolve the issue quickly and with minimal stress. I highly recommend Lisa Burris to anyone in need of legal assistance—she truly goes above and beyond for her clients!

bad experience and not professional

I am a landlord and hire Lisa to get eviction for my tenant since she did not pay me rent for two months. Everthing looks ok until the court date. I am a littble bit late and Lisa have some time talk to the tenant. Then everything is changed and she seems on tenant's side. Lisa keep persuading me to ...accept the tenant's partial rent although I expressed clearly I do not want any of tenant's payment. I want to take possession of the house since this is the 4th time I filed eviction for the same tenant last 10 months. I have full-time job and my performance is affected by this rent house, and I do not want to listen tenant's story any more -- today mum die tomorrow sister car accident etc. But the Lawyer Lisa seems on keep saying tenant is sick, and I should accept tenant partial rent. Before the judge, Lisa did not express my intention - not accept any payment and take posssession of the house. I just got judgement which means if tenant pay all rent, I think tennat might stay.

Lisa Burris an Experienced, Results Driven, and Outstanding Attorney!

Lisa Burris brilliantly/ effortlessly helped my wife and I with an deceitful tenant that refused to pay rent and leave our property. From our initial call to Lisa Burris, she has consistently been available to answer our questions and has provided us with a high level of service. No matter how busy s...he may have been, she always responded immediately to all of our needs and were spot on with her legal analysis of our situation. My wife and I, always felt as though we were one of her most important clients even though our issue was probably a minor one for her. She confidently assured us that our tenant was now dealing with an experienced attorney and that she was in the driving seat from this point forward, and that there was no need for us to worry. We honestly slept better after speaking with Lisa. I highly recommend Lisa Burris to anyone looking for an experienced attorney with outstanding service and positive results!!

A trusted attorney of exceptional character and experience.

I found Lisa via her website. Being taken advantage by tenants and in poor health, I cannot express how Lisa eased my concerns and took charge of the matter. She has represented me in court on one occasion as a top professional. With another eviction, Lisa, expedited their departure, which was resolv...ed w/o having to go to court. She is available by phone w/ a quick return of your call. On one eviction I spoke w/ her and was advise on a situation just prior to entering my house. What a blessing that she call you back and really cares. I fully trust this attorney and will use her services in the future. I highly recommend to experienced or landlords w/ just one house. She is a great caring and nice person who was there for me when I needed someone. This review, I do not usually write reviews, may seem that I think the best of this attorney. One call w/ her and you will understand why I wrote this. Hgihly Recommend this Attorney

"Ms. Burris is a great attorney and a fighter for her clients. I referred a case to her that involved a family member of a client who would not move out of a rental property. They used every dirty trick in the book to prevent being evicted. Ms. Burris had them out in 30 days. She is the best."

"I found Lisa's informative web site about Georgia eviction law and I emailed her with questions about the process to contribute to a blog article I was writing. She was very generous with her time on the phone and helped improve my article by providing me both the statutory and the practical sides of eviction procedure. She is clearly very knowledgeable in the area of landlord tenant law, both in a residential and in a commercial setting and I will not hesitate in referring property owners and/or commercial tenants to her for these legal needs."
