Jim Burnham

Jim Burnham represented me during a federal investigation for selling counterfeit products. Due to Jim beginning to work on the case in the early stages, I was never arrested and was put in a pre-trial diversion program. I was then placed on probation for twelve months, but Jim got me an early releas...e of probation after only ten months. I was so lucky that a friend recommended Jim to me. I could not ask for a better lawyer! Jim’s great efforts, experience, and professionalism are highly appreciated!

I hired Jim Burnham to represent me in two class A misdemeanor cases: Burglary of a Vehicle and Assault. It only took Jim Burnham sixteen days after I hired him to have my cases dismissed by the District Attorney’s office. The District Attorney’s office never filed a single case against me due to Jim...’s work. Jim hit the ground running when it came to helping me in a time of need, and I have him to thank for such quick results. Jim Burnham is an excellent, hard-working, and passionate lawyer. I highly recommend him if you are need of representation.

My case started out as a second-degree felony aggravated assault with a deadly weapon charge. Jim Burnham prepared a home run grand jury presentation that resulted in my case being reduced from a felony to a misdemeanor, then kept on going and got that misdemeanor dismissed. Hiring Jim Burnham wa...s the best decision I could have made. He is a hardworking, talented, and caring attorney. He got my case dismissed quickly and I was able to move on from the incident. Jim Burnham saved my life and career. I cannot express how grateful I am to have had Jim Burnham as my lawyer!

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.

I am thankful I hired Jim Burnham as my lawyer. He not only believed in me, but he was dedicated to my innocence. Jim Burnham spent long hours working hard on my case. I was charged with a two count federal indictment, including one count of obstruction of justice and one count of tampering with a... witness by the IRS in federal court in Dallas. The IRS secretly videotaped me as I was talking to a witness and they said I was obstructing justice. My first lawyer scared me into pleading guilty, when I told the judge I was not guilty; the judge gave me a new trial. I then decided to hire Jim Burnham as my lawyer for my federal jury trial because I did not believe I had done anything wrong. After a week-long jury trial, I was found not guilty by a jury on all counts, even though the judge outside the presence of the jury stated, in open court to the news media, and everyone in attendance that “any jury that finds this woman innocent needs to have their head examined.” I am told that 98.5% of all of those tried in federal court go to prison. Jim Burnham put me in the 1.5% of people that did not go to prison. Jim Burnham has won more federal trials in federal court than most lawyers have tried. Jim Burnham is a lawyer that truly cares about his clients. You’re lucky to have Jim Burnham as your trial lawyer.
