BEWARE OF THIS LAWYER

BEWARE OF THIS LAWYER . He is only looking to Bill you . Alan Burton is a SCAM LAWYER he should be ASHAMED of himself no wonder he doest even have an office. Alan Burton Has no Integrity at all . He does not know what he is doing . It would be better to represent yourself than having him . He will a...sk you the same questions over and over again just to be able to bill you more. His invoices are always extremely over billed and have mistakes. He actually deserves 0 stars. BE CAREFUL

Alan Burton provided great legal advice

Alan Burton represented me in a dispute over personal property in a real estate issue. He was extremely professional and knowledgeable. Without his help, we would not have been able to move forward. I keep his card in my pocket. He certainly is the lawyer to contact for all legal issues!

Divorce Attorney Review

Alan, was a very good attorney for me. What was already a difficult and confusing matter for me, Alan made it a little easier with his knowledge and direct approach to getting things resolved. Also, the use of the website to exchange documentation from the case was helpful as well.
