Great Lawyer
I was hurt on the job, and was denied compensation by the firm I was working for. Yancy Burns helped me get the money I deserved to get back on my feet and support my family. He kept me pretty well informed, knew what he was talking about, and you can tell he cares about your issues. He was very respectful and I would recommend him to any of my friends who needed a lawyer in MS.
