Christopher James Burchinal

We hired and paid a retainer for this lawyer and he was not responsive at all. The person we hired him for has been in jail since November and we find out at pre-trial on January 22nd he said he cannot practice (according to what was said at pre-trial)?! We were never given a copy of the discovery pa...cket until pre-trial. He stated he placed several motions and requested documents which were never done. At the pre-trial he sent in a guy named Carlos who was unaware of the case j Tom the NIGHT BEFORE pre-trial. Just for Carlos to say he cannot take the case as it was a conflict of interest. So now we don’t have a lawyer and we are out of the $1,000 we used to retain Chris as our attorney. I’ve asked him how to get the money back since he took it and can’t even represent him and he has not responded. I will be filing a Grievance with the Bar association due to this. It’s absolutely ridiculous. He could’ve just told us from the beginning he couldn’t take the case for whatever reason. SAVE YOURSELF THE TIME AND WASTED MONEY AND DO NOT HIRE HIM.

Mr. Burchinal was a god send. After dealing with several other lawyers, I started to feel lost. Mr. Burchinal went above and beyond what I needed and did this in a timely fashion. The professionalism and knowledge I experienced with my legal matters is why I will continue to only deal with Mr. Burchi...nal.
