Jim Burnham

Jim Burnham represented me when I was charged with a DWI. The first attorney that I hired filed a Motion To Suppress, but the judge denied his motion. Then I hired Jim Burnham and he filed a Motion To Suppress and the judge granted his motion. Because of Jim Burnham’s successful Motion To Suppress... my DWI case was dismissed. I had been involved in an accident and taken to the hospital where they proceeded to draw my blood without my permission to test for alcohol. Jim Burnham worked tirelessly to get my case dismissed. Jim Burnham was always available to answer my calls, and I always felt that he had my best interest in mind the whole time. This was a hard and stressful time in my life, and Jim made sure that I did not have to spend time worrying about my legal case. I have never regretted my decision to hire Jim Burnham as my attorney, and if anyone I know ever needs a lawyer, he is the first person I would recommend.

When you are falsely accused of a crime that can ruin your life, you need the best attorney on the planet. I was charged with Assault Family Violence and faced with losing my 30 year career. Jim Burnham assured me that he could get my case dismissed and he did, within 90 days of my charge being filed...! He was kind and compassionate to me but tough as nails in representing me. Jim Burnham gets results!

Jim Burnham was hired to represent me on a felony possession of a controlled substance (cocaine) after my previous counsel advised me to plead guilty to the felony. I did not want to plea guilty to a felony possession of a controlled substance, and I hired Jim Burnham to represent me.Jim's persistenc...e in my case showed me he cared and was devoted to my case. Jim worked hard and he had my felony case reduced to a misdemeanor. I was beyond grateful that Jim Burnham had my case reduced to a misdemeanor and he worked tirelessly to resolve my case. I would wholeheartedly recommend Jim Burnham to anyone who needs a criminal defense attorney. Jim does npt stop working on a case until he receives the best result.

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.

I was charged in Federal Court in Lafayette, Louisiana, of bank fraud, wire fraud and mail fraud. The jury trial lasted for four weeks, and I was found innocent and acquitted of all charges. I am completely convinced that I would have been found guilty had it not been for my lawyer, Mr. Jim Burnham.... He is very knowledgable of the law, court procedure, presentation, and fight tenaciously for what he considers right and Just. Me and my family can never repay Jim Burnham for saving me during that very long and stressful trial. I probably would have served some jail time had Jim Burnham not been my lawyer.
