Jim Burnham

I hired Jim Burnham for a felony control substance case in mid-2019. From the day I hired Jim until the day my case was dismissed, he worked consistently and diligently on my case. I never had to call Jim Burnham and ask for an update on my case because he always directly communicated any updates ...to me as soon as he had any new information. My case was recently issued a No Bill by a Grand Jury, and thanks to Jim Burnham I am no longer accused of a felony. I am beyond grateful that my case resulted in such a favorable decision, and I know it was all because of Jim’s tireless effort to resolve my case. If I had to rate my experience working with Jim Burnham on a scale of 1-10, I would rate him 100 because he exceeded my expectations and helped remove this black cloud that hung over my life. I can confidently say Jim Burnham has changed my life for the better, and I will never be able to properly express my appreciation for his hard work and dedication.

My father-in-law, a teacher for 16-years, was charged with indecency with a child contact in 2019. He was arrested in September of 2019, but the initial outcry in the case was in 2016, when a student of his made this claim. However, the police department waited two years to file a case against my fa...ther-in-law. So, in January 2020, we hired Jim Burnham to represent my father-in-law. With such a serious charge, there was doubt of how this case would end, but ultimately Jim Burnham had the case dismissed within 2020. Jim Burnham communicated with us through every step of the way and we could not be more appreciative of his hard work. Hiring Jim Burnham saved my father-in-law’s life. The dedication and commitment Jim Burnham had for my father-in-law’s case was a light in such a dark time. Jim Burnham’s professionalism and experience were highly appreciated. We could not thank Jim Burnham enough for saving my in-law from going to prison. My family is thankful for Jim Burnham and his office for all the hard work they did on my father-in-law’s case.

Jim Burnham’s Relentless Representation Saved My Career I was arrested while I was enrolled in ROTC at my university. Because of my arrest, I was at risk of being expelled from ROTC, losing my scholarship, and having to pay back my tuition for previous years if my case was not dismissed. Jim Burnh...am saved me from this devastating outcome. After one quick call, I was in Mr. Burnham’s office telling him everything that happened. Mr. Burnham wrote down every word I spoke and assured me that he was going to try to get my case dismissed. When I heard that I said to myself, “Dismissed? That would save me!”. Sticking to his word, Mr. Burnham relentlessly worked toward that goal, even during quarantine! He got my case dismissed in time for me to stay in ROTC and keep my military career on track. Jim Burnham showed that he cared about me and my situation. I can honestly say that Jim Burnham saved my military career. He proved why he is known as one of the best criminal defense lawyers in Texas.

Mr Burnham is an amazing lawyer. I was accused by my previous employer, which was a fairly large public company, of embezzlement/grand theft in the ballpark of almost half a million dollars. I was terrified. Thanks to Jim, I was NEVER arrested, NEVER charged, NEVER called by a police officer and avoi...ded prosecution altogether. His advice and counsel was sound and correct every time. I estimate he put in 300+ hours on my case, so I was lucky that he charged a flat fee. I received an update every day and he never made me feel like he was not on my side. His reputation alone opened so many doors for my case and allowed us to settle without any legal fuss. We worked out a payment plan that was incredible – I could actually afford it. If you are facing charges, you need a lawyer. Don’t risk jail time or being pulled away from your family. With lawyers, you get what you pay for. What I paid for got me an honest, HARD WORKING, INCREDIBLE lawyer. Do not settle for cheap. Do you research on Mr. Burnham, then HIRE HIM. My case was in Dallas county.
