Erik Lane Burns

I recently hired Mr. Burns to represent me in my child support/custody case . I had consulted with other local attorneys in the area before meeting with Erik . While they seemed disinterested in what I had to say , Erik immediately said he would take my case. From the very beginning , I could tell ho...w passionate he is about what he does ! He treated me like more than just another client . He treated me like a friend or a family member. I could really tell he cared . Erik kept me informed through every step of the process and was always there to answer any questions I had . He and his secretary were always available for me whenever I called or emailed them ! Erik was extremely diligent in researching every aspect of my case to ensure he got me the best possible results . Erik fought for me and my daughter every step of the way , without fail ! Erik not only won my case for me but he got me even more than I had initially expected . If you are looking for an attorney that will fight for you and your family like he would fight for his own then Erik Burns is the attorney for you ! I promise you that you will not be disappointed !!!!

I wanted to take an opportunity to write a review for Erik Burns. He represented me in 2012 for a child custody hearing. Erik fought zealously for my rights as a parent and for my daughter, researching and working beyond the scope of his engagement. He was able to get excellent information on record,... as well. I am fortunate to have had Erik as my attorney and proud to call him my friend. Now that I am a Tulane graduate in General Legal Studies and a competent paralegal, I can intelligently comment and praise Erik in his professionalism and efforts. He wrote an amazing motion and was very thorough in his details covering the facts and enumerating the legal issues at hand before the court. Even though we lost, it wasn't because Erik wasn't awesome, didn't do his job or because he dropped the ball. It was because we had a prejudiced judge, plain and simple. And sadly, that happens, but losing does NOT deter me from confidently recommending Erik or from praising his valiant efforts. A non-biased judge would have made a different call.

Erik Burns has been our attorney for 15 years and has helped us through some of the most stressful times of our lives. He started out as our professional attorney and developed into a dear friend willing to assist in any way we required while dealing with our very difficult child custody situations. ...I have seen the respect offered from judges and other law professionals in the Livingston area while on our many trips to the courthouse tending to legal needs of our children. I am sure there are many qualified attorneys in Livingston but Erik Burns has by far been the most caring , passionate and understanding attorney we have hired to guide us through some of the most difficult times of our lives. I hope no one ever needs an attorney but if you do, Erik Burns would be my first choice.

Erik is the best family/criminal lawyer around! He is kind, understanding, and excellent at what he does. I would have no other attorney represent me. He will fight for your rights in court and get the job done. He has been such a blessing to our family and I can't thank him enough for all of his ha...rd work. Thank you Erik! We couldn't have done it without you.
