I highly endorse Jack Burns. He is not only an excellent and conscientious bankruptcy attorney, he is compassionate with his clients. He cares about every client and their case, and works hard to get them the result they need. He is the bankruptcy attorney I would recommend to my own family and friends.
I practice with Jack, who is my husband. Day in and day out, I watch him help clients in a way that makes me very proud to call him my business partner. He is kind, professional, and caring, and he goes above and beyond to help clients through their difficult times. Additionally, Jack is extremely intelligent and, even at his relatively young age, he often solves problems that other, more experienced attorneys cannot solve.
