He took my sons money

My son paid him 2 years ago to file bankruptcy, Never has, he would call, go by the office he would be out of town or they needed more information. Went to his off last week, they were packed up and gone, So he went and filed a police report

Awful

I went in and spoke to Jack Burns after speaking to him over the phone. I paid a deposit and felt the wait of the world was lifted off my shoulders. I made several more payments. I have called him numerous times and left numerous messages and Jack Burns never returns my calls. I wrote him a letter I ...still have never received anything from Mr Burns nothing at all. I have requested a refund because this man has done nothing for me nothing. I think this is unprofessional behavior on his part this took place starting in February I'll still call him and I never can reach him. So something that started out good turned into an awful experience for me and the man has my money and will not give it back to me. So I have contacted the attorney general's office I have contacted the law board and now I'm going to the Better Business bureau all the man had to do was talk to me and return my money. I feel like that he scammed me out of my money

We made the best choice.

Searched a lot but something hit us & after all, we made the best decision by hiring Jack Burns. One of the most patient people we ever met. His detailed explanations of the process were precise in detail leaving no question about his abilities. Not a hurry up person who will spend whatever time it t...akes.

Highly recommend!

Jack has always been there for me with any legal advice I have needed, and he has always given me honest advice that was going to be in my best interest in the long run! He was extremely professional and provided great services for me. If you are looking for someone with expertise and that you can tr...ust, I highly recommend Jack Burns.

Such a Blessing

It was 2015 and God had just closed a door as my father had just passed away, I was lost. I did not know what to expect next or know where to go to find help but I knew I needed help. Frustrated, I made an appointment with Mr. Burns in the hopes of finding the answers I was needing. I met with Mr. B...urns and suddenly the load I was carrying was lifted. Mr. Burns explained what I needed to do, what was going to happen next and what he was going to do to make it all happen and a couple of hours later it was done. Mr. Burns has been such a blessing and a warrior in my case. He keeps me informed as to the progress of my case and all procedures that are forthcoming. If a lawyer with compassion for your situation and the legal expertise to get the job done is what you are needing...call him make an appointment I promise you will not be disappointed.

Its the attention to finer details of a case that make Jack Burns a great attorney.
