also known as Chris Burns
I know first hand the pain and frustration a cyclist feels after being victimized in a bicycle wreck. I have fractured both collarbones, dislocated my shoulder, and shattered my eye orbit, cheek bone, both sinuses, clavicle, and three ribs. Recovery was difficult and slow, but the process helped me better understand the cases I represent. Your case is not just another business opportunity. As an avid cyclist and advocate, I will not be satisfied with anything less than the maximum results.
When I represent you for your bicycling accident, there are no hourly fees. The only fee, ever, is based on my success in the fight against the injustice you have suffered - success by a settlement you approve or by jury verdict and judgment on your behalf. When you need a bicycling attorney to represent you, please consider me. I will appreciate your inquiry by email or phone call. I will listen to your concerns and answer your questions. My goal is to help you overcome injustice.

Chris Burns and his team were absolutely great throughout my entire case. Chris was very straight with me from the very beginning, letting me know my rights and how the process could turn out. He never wanted to provide false hope and was very professional at all times. From of our first conversation...
"Chris is a remarkable man. He sees every case through to the finish line. This Vanderbilt grad has exceptionally handled hundreds of bicycle accident cases for more than 25 years. He champions the rights of wrongfully injured cyclists. He is an active member of the Jacksonville Bicycle Pedestrian Advisory Committee and the Florida Bicycle Association. Not only does he advocate cycling, he’s competed in cycling and triathlon events, to include portions of the Tour de France! I endorse this lawyer."
