Very caring attorney

Josh represented me for my custody case and really helped me through the process. He really cares about the feelings of children and how all this affects them. He was attentive to detail in the proceedings and paperwork and helped me find loopholes in the case to find a resolution. Would recommend ...to others!

Do not recommend this attorney to represent you in a custody case. Doesn’t respond to emails or text messages. Poor judgment, indolent. Doesn’t file reports in a timely manner. Waits til day of court to send his reports in, no time for rebuttal. Lacks empathy or compassion. Sends innocent children to... live with a known child abuser with no regard for their safety. I hope you can sleep at night knowing what you did. If you are appointed this attorney to represent your custody case, better refuse and pay for your own lawyer to represent you.

Total Hack

Joshua Burns is the lawyer you want if you’re looking for incompetence . He is slow to respond, lacks objectivity and integrity and is indolent. His poor judgment and work ethic is what lead to him being fired as a Magistrate of WarrenCounty. Do yourself a favor and find another attorney.

Custody

Josh was appointed to us through warren county children service in what was to be temporary placement of an infant cousin . Over the course of a year we worked very close with Josh , his knowledge of the law and sense of humor kept me together with all the ups and down of the case. The fact that I f...elt so at ease and I could talk to Josh any time was great! You're suppose to trust and be able to confine in your attorney right?! With Josh you will definitely get that! I had no doubts when asking Josh questions and what direction we should move , he gave us honest answers and what to expect. Josh had our hearts and what was best for infant in mind at all times. If ever in need of an attorney in this area again, Josh will be my first phone call. Highly recommend Josh for all custody cases!

Highly Recommended

We were given Josh's name both as a court appointed attorney and a recommendation from a friend. We also were only given 7 days before our court date. Josh represented us very well especially given the short lead time for the court date. I would strongly recomment Josh.

"I endorse this lawyer. As a former Juvenile Court magistrate, Josh Burns is well versed in Juvenile law, from child custody to juvenile delinquency. Not only does Josh Burns know the law but just as importantly he can relate to the clients and explain that law and the process of court to those he is representing. Josh is a great advocate for someone whether you are a juvenile or an adult."
